Editorial Reviews

Review

KABHI ALVIDA NAA KEHNA is not a date film and the writers Karan Johar, Shibani Bathija spell it out at the very outset. The screenplay balances the two extremes -- light moments and dollops of emotions -- with amazing ease. The relationship between the couples or even those between the parent and child (the Bachchans) is delicately handled. If there are moments that move you to tears, there are ample moments that bring a smile to your face as well. Another noteworthy aspect is its forthright dialogues (Niranjan Iyengar). The lines sound straight of life and there also exist a host of interesting observations. Yes, the film is talky, but in a smart way. You never feel that the characters are talking to hear their own words or to fill up screen time.Anil Mehta's cinematography is awesome.Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy's music is melodious. 'Mitwa', 'Rock N Roll Soniye' and 'Where's The Party Tonite' appeal also due to the vibrant choreography (Farah Khan).On the whole, KABHI ALVIDA NAA KEHNA is an outstanding film from the writing, performance and execution point of view --bollywoodhungama.com

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Love Story, April 21, 2009
This review is from: Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (DVD)
I was recenty introduce to Indian and Hindi movies and I just fell inlove with actors Shahrukh and Rani I think they are so great together on screen. Also I appreciated Preity and her dancing skills and Kirron Kher who plays as her mother inlaw they both were wonderful. I Loved the twists and turns in the movie, even though they had an affair if you can get pass that then you can appreciate the movie even more. I also loved the music and the dancing it was just awesome even though I missed Shahrukh dancing in this movie; Nevertheless Shahrukh was brilliant in his romance thrills I would like to see more of this kind of romance acting from him. All the other actors were great also. Sexy Sam played by Amitabh Bauchman he is simply marvelous in this film. And his son Abhishek was also brilliant I loved the strong relationship they shared between father and son. All the actors gave 100% of themselves and you can see the greatness of their acting coming through. Even though I donot agree with the love affair I still think it was a great movie and very relavant for this day in age. I don't want to say any more you simply have to get the movie and watch for yourself its great.

5.0 out of 5 stars Undeniably excellent, September 23, 2008
An intelligent film about flawed characters, real problems and unsettling solutions. An astonishingly insightful script, brilliantly executed by one of the most talented filmmakers of our times. A gem.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must See, November 12, 2009
Director Karan Johar has built a wildly successful career making movies about Indians living in the West. Non-resident Indians, as they're called, are a lucrative foreign box-office market (Indians are the wealthiest ethnic group in the U.S.) and films about them are a significant Bollywood subgenre. Johar has his finger on the pulse of the privileged and he's expert at scrutinizing their emotional lives. For all their trendy clothes and cool jobs and swanky homes, they struggle--at least personally.

Johar's films sometimes focus on the difficulties of maintaining an Indian identity in another culture, but in 'Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna,' the ethnicity of the Indian characters living in New York City is incidental, and so is their wealth. The story revolves around two unhappily married couples seeking the only thing they don't possess: love.

Dev (played by Shahrukh Khan) is a professional soccer player who becomes a stay-at-home dad to his nine-year-old son, Arjun, after a career-ending injury. Dev's wife Rhea (Preity Zinta) is an ambitious, hard-working editor at a fashion magazine. Bitter about his injury and resentful of his wife's success, Dev feels emasculated--and he takes out his frustration on his sensitive son who would rather be a violinist than an athlete. Maya (Rani Mukerji) is a regimented schoolteacher who's married to--and thoroughly annoyed by--Rishi (Abhishek Bachchan), a fun-loving events planner. Dev and Maya both settled for comfortable, passionless marriages--based on friendship but no shared interests--shortchanging their spouses who want more. Whatever contentment they may have started with has given way to constant bickering. On the surface, Rhea and Rishi seem like ideal spouses--attractive, successful, and in love with their partners--but behind closed doors, Rhea is neglectful and condescending and Rishi is childish and passive aggressive. Dev and Maya, on the other hand, are overtly difficult people: he's a prickly misanthrope; she's a clean freak and a homebody. All four actors make these characters immensely engaging, despite their disagreeable traits.

Dev and Maya become friends thinking they can give each other the moral support they need to save their marriages, but they come alive only when they're together, and they understand and accept each other's quirks in a way their spouses don't. Their deepening involvement plays out against a stunning backdrop of New York landmarks, including the Brooklyn Bridge, Grand Central Station, Central Park, Washington Square, St. Patrick's Cathedral, and Columbia University.

Rishi's father Sam (Amitabh Bachchan), a lothario who beds women young enough to be his granddaughters, develops a warm connection with a woman his own age when he befriends Dev's mother, Kamaljit (Kirron Kher), and the two conspire to help their kids' marriages.

Despite its over-the-top moments (the minor non-Indian characters are excessively buffoonish for comic effect), the film treats the tough topic of adultery with frankness and resonates with feeling. - The Bollywood Ticket (Subscribe: The Bollywood Ticket)
