kabhi alvida na kehna

ok.. i liked it. i laughed when i had to and cried when i was supposed to like the good audience i was. even most of the music which i though before watching the film to be rather generic worked for me in context.

shah rukh khan is a star and you cant really ask him to act (he does ‘starness’ so well)- but the rest of them were so good; rani’s frigid confusion, abhishek’s boy-man beauty and especially (at least for me) preity zinta as the ambitious clear headed but caring businesswoman.

its very dark (as much as it can be in a karan johar film) as all happiness in love that exists is only stolen moments between the lead pair. and after the fluff of k2h2 and the unbearable syrupiness of k3g it is a relief. naturally it is gorgeous to look at and airbrushed to death. even pain is so tasteful in that camp way. all the colors match even as tears stream down the actors faces.

ok.. i loved it.. but then i am a sucker for tearjerkers and fall for all the tricks in the book as far as they are concerned.. so sue me siddharth.

and oh.. happy independence day.
