AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Eric Stevenson As someone who's a huge fan of any movies at all, I'm so glad to have seen such a beloved Bollywood movie. It seems like the only ones most Westerners have actually seen are the Panther Panchali films of the 1950's. Of course, they still release great ones today. This film was 187 minutes and just so happened to be the longest movie I have ever seen online! It was certainly worth it to see the whole thing, though. I heard that most movies in India are three hours long. I guess they just have longer attention spans than us! This actually seemed pretty long even by their standards.It was weird that this took place in New York City for such a completely Indian film. Of course "Slumdog Millionaire" did the opposite and it was technically a British movie. What I love about this film is how bright and colorful everything is. We get great dance numbers and just so much movement going on. It's hard to keep up with all these characters. They really do work hard to make them all unique. With a population as big as them, it's easy to get a lot of people! There was in fact an intermission albeit quite brief. The second half is when it really starts getting serious. I can understand how such a long film would change in tone so radically. Whatever nationality, you should watch this movie. ***1/2

silvan-desouza Karan Johar's films are normally nothing like real life, candyfloss saga Kal Ho naa Ho is just like his other films, though directed by Nikhil Advani it looks, feels, breathes A Karan Johar film. In fact in KJ films anything can happen, some comedy scenes are too slapstick, emotional scenes are too melodramatic, situations at times too far fetched. Anywayz back to this film, The film is a take off on Anand though not exactly but the concept is same, Though Srk's character is hardly as endearing as Kaka in the original. Yet there are some well done emotional scenes but at times some funny scenes are not too funny, except the Rajpal scene which is funny, sometimes the humour isn't too good There are some good scenes like Preity's breakdown after thinking that Srk is married and Srk's outburst even the emotional tale is well handled like towards the climax, Even the Saif-Srk scenes at times are well handled but the Kantaben track however famous it became does seem odd, As in most KJO films the gay track is mandatory, even that many religions in one family does seem confusing, Sushma Seth - Dara Singh love affair is weirdDirection by Nikhil Advani is good Music by SEL is good and upbeat, most songs are still rememberedSrk does his job well as usual, nothing unique but as usual it got praise from his fans, Saif is superb in his part Preity Zinta is good too in her part, though at times she does seem too much Amongst rest Sushma Seth is good, Shoma Anand and rest are okay some ham too Lilette Dubey is good, Delnaaz is good Dara Singh is good too in a stupid role, Shulbha Arya is funny Satish Shah is okay, Jaya Bachchan is amazing, Simone Singh is good Reema Lagoo is good, Sonali Bendre and Sanjay Kapoor have cameos and are good, Rajpal Yadav is funny in his small role Predictabily Kajol and Rani Mukherjee have appearances as in most KJO films

frl_charlie Naina is an unsmiling pessimist whose life is turned around by Aman, an 'angel' who happens across her by chance and brings with him unrelenting optimism and love…and a desire to help others. Rohit is her best friend, a flirt who is generally unlucky with women and finds her unattractive. With Aman's help, they begin to see what should have been obvious all along. Kal ho naa ho's main theme is about living in the moment, and following your heart. It doesn't sound very original, but it's executed in a way that feels new anyhow. I love the incorporation of the tension in Naina's household between her grandmother and basically the rest of them due to a tragic event in their past that has colored every aspect of their lives and ways of seeing one another. Aman invades their lives in every way as well, and it's funny to see him tease Naina even though you can see a tiny hint of affection towards her every now and tehn. Naina's stiffness and stubbornness isn't too annoying as you can sympathize with her, and you see that she's holding herself back because she doesn't know what she wants. Rohit is an interesting character as he isn't what he seems to be, and it's easy to root for him despite the fact that Aman is played by Sharukh Khan and it's pretty hard to compete with that…I found Aman's character very inspiring, due to his selflessness and unwillingness to impose on those he cares about. It was especially intense when after the diary scene he was so overwhelmed by his own heartache that he was unable to face Rohit. And I love the ending where Aman actually jumps out of his hospital bed and runs across the city just to see Naina and Rohit. I also like that they addressed the fact that Rohit was being coached by Aman into 'wooing' Naina and the fact that this would most likely upset her, as well as the way they handled it. I think the cutest part was when Aman was on his deathbed and he asked Gia to marry him, and Gia said no, but when he said 'please?' she agreed. There is a running joke that pokes fun at gay men, or at least at those who are disgusted by them. I suppose its not too offensive, although the fact that the actual gay guy that they have at the end (the designer guy) was overly, uh, feminine probably isn't a coincidence. Rohit's dad's line about passing 'the cock' was amusing, though. The music is very nice and generally helps to further the plot. it's the right mix of slow, romantic, cheerful, melancholic, and lively music. 'It's the time to disco' may be a cheesy song title, but it's very catchy and the sequence is energetic and beautifully shot. Overall, Kal Ho Naa Ho is a beautiful movie that is shot in a lavish and over-the-top way that is characteristic of bollywood, but its heart is in the right place. It feels sincere and the story can be universally appreciated.
