Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Kuch Kuch Hota Hai is an Indian Hindi coming-of-age romantic comedy drama film, released in India and the United Kingdom on 16 October 1998. It was written and directed by Karan Johar, and starred the popular on- screen pair of Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol in their fourth film together. Rani Mukerji featured in a supporting role, while Salman Khan had an extended guest appearance.Filmed in India, Mauritius, and Scotland, this was Karan Johar's directorial debut. One of his goals for the film was to set a new level for style in Hindi cinema. The plot combines two love triangles set years apart. The first half covers friends on a college campus, while the second tells the story of a widower's young daughter who tries to reunite her dad with his old friend.The film was extremely successful in India and abroad, becoming the highest-grossing Indian film of the year and the third highest-grossing Indian film ever behind Hum Aapke Hain Koun..! and Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. The film was also the first Bollywood film to enter the UK cinema top ten. Outside India, the film was the highest grossing Hindi film ever until its record was broken by Karan's next directorial, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham... (2001). Kuch Kuch Hota Hai received a positive reception from critics, with special praise directed to Kajol's performance. The soundtrack also became the biggest seller of the year. The film won many major awards including the National Film Award for Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment and the "Best Film" honor at the Filmfare Awards, Zee Cine Awards, Screen Awards, and Bollywood Movie Awards. The film won 8 Filmfare Awards and is the only film in history to win all the four acting category awards at the ceremony (Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor & Best Supporting Actress). The film remains highly popular on Indian television and has achieved a cult classic status.
9/10, Chemistry, thats d word dat describes the movie.. One got to c by himself the lovely chemistry between the lead pairs to believe it.. Both of them have pitched in with perfect acts n more importantly successfully portrayed the feel of love dat so much forms the essence of the movie.. People are not fans of SRK for nothing, he by his act has so very beautifully added to his romantic image.. It was like magic on screen , he simply rules every shot with his larger than life persona.. Never looks like he is acting, he makes it so very easy n comfortable.. N not just romantic moments but equally beautiful is his moments with his daughter and Rani .. Some very fine emotional moments r witnessed between him as a father n his young eight yr.old daughter, who in fact forms a very important link in the movie & one of the best endearing, truly heart touching performance by a child in a long time!! Watching SRK flirt in first half to his small cute dance with Kajol, everything has been marvelously picturised n enacted against a backdrop of some very romantic times n singing.. Kajol too matches him step by step, n deserves accolades for giving my generation a truly magical pair!!! Mam, be it d atypical college girl look or the transformation to an Indian woman, you just does it like no one else.. Rani too in her special appearance act looks n gives a decent act.. In fact thats the creativity n genius of a few directors, to make ur actors work like a unit, not giving individual performances .. Every actor , detailing, sets, emotions, humor, costumes, fun is typical of karan like months n months if thought process gone!! Dialogues, screenplay, story, every stuff beats his trademark, a uniqueness, freshness n artistic excellence., a Showman in true sense.. God, what a beautiful romantic composition by the duo, who have over the years been instrumental in composing for some great flicks, & its like, what SRK is to romance, they are to romantic hits!!! Awesome work .. And not to forget the vocals behind the lead actors, especially uditji, alkaji & kavitaji, who I feel have been the backbone but forgotten stars of our music industry, especially uditji who has ibfact sung for many SRK hits, copying his pitch very accurately but to very less credit..! Also creditable is the friendship angle & that new concept but such a novel one, that love is friendship!! Karan sir, please avoid being in front of the camera & concentrate in behind the camera-work as a director..Apart from few snags in the story, all love stories have, watch it with your loved ones & fall in love again...
This is a fun movie. It was especially fun since I hadn't seen it in over ten years, remembering the outcome, but not all the details.Shahrukh Khan stars as Rahul, and it opens with his wife, Tina (played by Rani Mukerji) giving birth to their daughter and dying of complications, and her last wish that their daughter be named Anjali. It's a bit melodramatic, and maybe not very believable, but they need it for the story Jump ahead eight years to Anjali's 8th birthday, in which she receives the 8th and last annual letter from her deceased mother. This letter describes how she and Rahul met in college, and about Rahul's best friend Anjali It tells how Tina feels she came between Rahul and Anjali, and sends their daughter, Anjali, on a mission to find her namesake and get the best friends back in love again Shahrukh and Kajol, as Anjali, weren't very convincing as college students, they looked too grown up, yet acted too immature. Kajol was much more convincing as the tomboy trying to become more feminine once the third part of the love triangle came into the story The music in it is good, great songs to listen to outside the movie, but the dancing to them in the movie was kind of dull, uninspired and the costumes during them were fairly bland. Still, overall, it's a great Bollywood movie. Unlike most it focuses more on the love story, with a bit of comedy thrown in, without trying to mix-n-match bad action and violence. Definitely recommended!
You won't be called a Bollywood fan if you haven't seen this classic. It casts some of the best actors in the industry at the time except Amit-ji: Shah Rukh of course, who way deserved his Filmfare, Kajol, best actress in Bollywood ever, Rani Mukherji, Salman Khan (in one of his last good performances), Anupam Kher, Farida Jalal, Reema Lagoo, ...With very good music (the title song is a forever classic!), entertaining dance moves, a nice script, and the most beautiful Jodi ever on screen: SRK and Kajol! Though Kjo has kind of cheesy 'cliché's sometimes (like the kid sobbing 'Ma, Ma!'), it's a sweet movie you're sure to enjoy and remember!
