I must be the opposite type person from the other earlier reviewer, because each of her negative points I found to be enjoyable (especially the MUSIC was outstanding, best I have heard throughout a movie, the dance scenes were fun to watch). KHUSHI is close to my favorite Bollywood movie.

It is more contemporary in nature/style (the dancing skits & music are great but NOT 'traditional').

Very touching in many places, well done acting and I really liked both the main characters. The story seemed unique because it wasn't a triangle or quad relationship story (with some outside tragedy to intensify the story), just focused on the 2 main characters really. Very nice, charming concept! Highly recommended for an easy/relaxing enjoyable watching experience (only one fight scene with guys, pretty well done, and interesting fight ending).

SPOILER -
The middle of the movie does have bickering/fighting between the 2 main characters
But it has a Happy Ending to the movie.

Enjoy!

There were several of us watching this but the response was unanimous. It was dull and some scenes really overly long.
Kareena Kapoor was overacting in a stereotyped way- doing 'perky' in a forced way (perhaps this was earlier than when she settled into her natural bubbly self as it seemed a little self-consciously forced here).
Her destined love lacked screen presence and was rather bland. He looked a nice enough guy and tried hard. His dancing wasnt bad but he generally was lacking zip. He did better in later movies.
The setting is mostly around a university life and about young love.
The dances werent bad and some effort was gone to to make them a bit different but the songs were unmemorable.
There was an unnecessary comic subtheme about a lecherous 'Master' who writes songs but keeps plagiarising others music. I dont know why they bothered as this added nothing but mild annoyance.
They also threw in another couple who couldnt get the girl's father's approval. The father was a local thug and there was one scene of a beating by his lackies. Again I dont really know why they needed to go there except that they needed some variation and spice as the main movie was lacking that.
I dont mind cliche and well trodden themes in Bollywoods (life is full of repetitive cliches too!) but this was a one-note theme of 2 people destined to love who are proud and bicker all the time. Ho hum! I also dont know why bickering is so romanticised in these movies. I do relationship counselling and I know this is a sign of problems and undermines love, not reflects it!
