Best movie of this year hands down!

Admirable film.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

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...

One of those trash movies which have been marred by atrocious over acting by Shahrukh Khan....this actor has ruined the film irreparably though the story line is not bad. Director of the film Karan Johar must be out of his mind to feature tale of a boy two timing and then telling one (Kajol) that she is her best friend only and actually he loves the other one (Rani Mukherzee)...all sort of stuff which appeals to youngsters has been included in this movie though almost everything is melodramatic to the limit...there is a college principal who behaves like a buffoon ...there are students who look just out of fashion show...et al. this is a movie only for die-hard Shahrukh fans

I know its often brushed off as silly but so what? In spite of its inane premise, I firmly believe that its a very carefully and well written film with never a dull moment, amazing background score, jovial choreography, beautiful art work, aesthetic riot of colors (rare for its time) It's a visual delight, spectacle at its best with so many nice touches which later went on to become clichés of Hindi cinema. An outstanding film! Dripping with sweetness, honesty and the magic of big screen entertainment.This is what dreams are made of. This what Bollywood is.http://observerzparadise.com/

Karan Johar's directorial debut Kuch Kuch Hota Hai is one of those films you can always watch and enjoy with your family and friends. In spite of being a bit of a fairy tale, it works very well within its limitations. It is one of those beautiful Hindi romantic comedies that actually form the unique cultural and artistic style of Bollywood's most famous mainstream flicks. This is an enjoyable and charming picture which can make you laugh, cry, at times even cringe with annoyance, but then it will keep you consistently entertained.The film introduces Johar's famous statement that the first step towards love is friendship and does it in a slightly cheesy yet rather convincing way. The film is a poignant story of two friends, a guy and a girl, who understand they actually love each other perhaps too late. And that's how it goes on. It flows well, with wonderfully composed songs, nicely written characters, several clichés here and there, many comic sequences, some melodramatic ones as well, but more importantly, a lot of Bollywood-style colour and fun.Shahrukh Khan and Kajol work with electrifying chemistry. Their scenes together are pure magic. Both give crafted performances. Kajol is more impressive as the cool tomboy who transforms into a womanly, attractive and sensitive Anjali. She displays the pain, joy, happiness and confusion that her character goes through with great conviction. Shahrukh is fantastic as the young, cool guy, friend and boyfriend and later on as a loving and caring father who has lost his wife and suffers her loss.Rani Mukherjee is beautiful and vibrant and makes for a very effective intelligent and dreamy girl. This is not an accomplished but very sincere performance which deserves full praise. Salman Khan is very good and surprisingly enough, manages to impress even in a brief, seemingly insignificant appearance. It may be because his character makes a great impact on the film's story and on the viewer. I really liked the film's music, the title song being my favourite, and among other songs, the melancholic "Tujhe Yaad Na Meri Aayee" is very beautiful. Towards the end, there are some overly melodramatic sequences but they flow well enough to bring the long-awaited ending. Kuch Kuch Hota Hai is overall great entertainment and a must-watch for lovers of Hindi cinema and its films. It is compelling, moving and memorable, and is always fun to revisit. I recommend.
