I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

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

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

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

Kal ho na ho is my favourite movie ever. This movie revolves around three people-Aman who is on last stage of cancer and wants everyone realize that live every moment because kal ho na ho. Second character is Naina who is an introvert and depressed girl don't want to see the world beyond her glasses. And last but not the least Rohit who is Naina's best friend has hidden love for Naina but never expresses. So Naina and Aman start liking each other but aman got to know Rohit has hidden feelings for Naina, also he has little life to live so he lies to naina that he don't love her and says rohit has feelings for her and develop feelings for Rohit in Naina's heart.

KAL HO NA HO, produced by Dharma Productions and directed by Nikhil Advani is one of the sincere attempts in the form of script writing.The movie has a well woven script. Barring a few cliché, the movie wins where it desires to, in touching the heart. Aman {Shahrukh Khan} comes as an angel and solves every problem of the dysfunctional Kapur (with a 'u') family. In the process he wins hearts and teaches Naina {Preity Zinta} how to love and also falls in love with her. But his heart is dysfunctional.He has a disease in his heart (that's where it gets vague, tell us the disease), so he cannot love (a little bit clichéd but that is not what the movie is about. The movie is about Aman's attempts to hide his love, hide his disease, hide his pain and most importantly attempt to get love for Naina. There is a line in the film where Naina says,"Women find a friend in their husbands, but I found a husband in my best friend"She never loved him, but they were friends, best friends and she was happy. Aman's love will never will lost from her heart. The movie did what it intended to do. I walked out feeling their emotions. Only if it had been a little more real and less dramatic, but guess melodrama comes in package with the Dharma Productions. Nonetheless a very finely made film. MUST WATCH.

The best of part of this movie is this movie could be seen together with a family.It may not be a classic but not less than an evergreen movie, a movie which creates a landmark in the history of Indian Cinema. Its a complete entertainer with all the elements a Bollywood movie should have..Overwhelmingly great film.This movie was literally the best movie I've seen not even of just shahrukh khan or in Hindi cinema but out of all the movies I've seen, which is a lot. It was so touching and I cried for the entire second half especially when he was in the hospital dying and when him and Naina had their moments. It was also actually pretty funny too, shahrukh did an amazing job as a comedian once again.
