DVD Reviews of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai
DVD Review: Beautiful, "Parent Trap-esque" Movie! WONDERFUL!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, is a WONDERFUL and cute Bollywood movie! It is now one of my top favorites!
Even though my parents are from India, my brother and I didn't watch many Hindi/Bollywood movies growing up. At home, my family either spoke English or Konkani (a dialect of Hindi) so with the exception of the sporadic Hindi classes we took as children, we did not have much experience with Hindi.
As a result, we did not watch many Bollywood movies until recently. I can count on one hand, with a couple of extra fingers, maybe two hands at the most, the number of Hindi movies I saw as a child.
Because we understand very little (just a few random words, phrases, etc.)of Hindi, and subtitles, were not available on the VHS tapes, we had to rely on our mom for translation of the dialogue. Though I'm sure she tried her best, what would inevitably happen is that while she was translating one segment of conversation, she would miss the next one, so there would be huge gaps in the translation, and often essential dialogue would deliberately (if she didn't want to translate something, thinking we weren't old enough to hear it)or accidently left out.So we had to figure out the story from the pictures and inconsistent, and incomplete translations. As a result, we didn't watch many Bollywood movies growing up.
But since I started watching Hindi movies on DVD (with available English subtitles) I've been REALLY enjoying it! I LOVE BOLLYWOOD movies!
Kuch Kuch Hota Hai is one of the several Hindi movies that I have seen and enjoyed immensely on DVD recently.
Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (or KKHH, or K2H2) is a BEAUTIFUL movie that stars Shahrukh Khan, Kajol (of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge fame) and Rani Mukherji (of Veer-Zaara) as well as a special guest appearance by Salman Khan (of Hum Aapke Hain Koun)
SPOILERS AHEAD!!!
In this touching and "Parent Trap-esque" movie, ladies man Rahul Khanna (Shahrukh Khan) and tomboy Anjali Sharma (Kajol) are friends at St. Xavier's College. They are best friends, always playing basketball together, and teasing and joking with each other. There is also a deep love between the two that has not been expressed.
Enter Tina Malhotra, the daughter of the Principal (Dean), and a transfer student from Oxford University in London, who is coming home to complete her final year of college at her father's school.
Principal Malhotra asks Anjali to "look after" Tina, and "take her under her wing", and while doing so, Rahul comes along, and Tina, Anjali and Rahul all become good friends.
But then Rahul and Tina start seeing each other privately and soon they fall in love.
Meanwhile, Anjali realizes that she is in love with Rahul, and decides to tell him how she feels. Anjali is about to delare her love, when Rahul confesses that he is in love with Tina.
Anjali is devastated when she realizes Rahul loves Tina, and not her, and that her love for him can never be expressed. She is so heartbroken that she immediately decides to drop out of college and go back home.
Rahul and Tina, rush to the train station to try to stop Anjali from leaving. But when Rahul learns that Anjali was planning to leave without telling him, and never come back he gets upset, and storms off. While the train starts up, Anjali throws her dupatta (scarf) to Tina, signaling to her that she is starting a new life with Rahul.
Meanwhile, as train is pulling out of the station, Rahul has a change of heart, and is able to say a final goodbye to Anjali.
After Anjali drops out, and leaves town, she "disappears". She goes her own separate way, and doesn't write, call, or have any further contact with Rahul or Tina.
Meanwhile, Rahul and Tina get married, and Tina becomes pregnant. Unfortunately, Tina develops complications during her pregnancy, and she dies soon after giving birth to a baby girl. Before dying, she makes Rahul promise to name their daughter, "Anjali", and she leaves 8 separate letters with her mother-in-law (Farida Jalal of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge), to be given to Anjali, one for each birthday (from age 1 to age 8)
So now nine years have passed and little Anjali who is living in Mumbai (Bombay) with her father and grandmother, is celebrating her 8th birthday. As in the years before, she has a special letter waiting for her from her late mother, Tina.
However, this particular letter is different from the others in one crucial aspect.
In this letter, Tina tells her daughter about the relationship/friendship between herself, Rahul and Anjali, and how she fell in love with Rahul. She writes of the unrequited love between Anjali and Rahul, and how she feels that she came between them.
Tina tells her daughter that her father is all alone, and she asks her daughter, Anjali to find Anjali Sharma and reunite her with Rahul.
However, at the same time that Anjali Khanna (little Anjali)and her grandma are beginning their search for Rahul's college friend, Anjali Sharma (big Anjali) has become engaged, and is planning her wedding to Aman Mehra (guest star Salman Khan)
But through a twist of fate (influenced by a cute/sweet scene of little Anjali carrying out a fervent Muslim prayer) and due to a problem with Anjali & Aman's horoscopes (which in Hindu custom are often a major factor when planning any event) all plans for the wedding are postponed for several months - until December at the earliest.
In the meantime, big Anjali takes a job teaching music and dance at a summer camp in Simla.
In a series of twists, little Anjali finds out about big Anjali's job. So she and her grandma join this same summer camp, with the intention of luring Rahul there so that he will come face-to-face with big Anjali.
Little Anjali and her grandma concoct a "Parent Trap-esque" scheme to reunite the two former friends, set them up and rekindle the previously unexpressed love and passion between them.
What transpires is a cute, beautiful and touching display of the real meaning of caring about another person, and true love.
I think anyone who enjoys the "Bollywood style" of movies will enjoy this GREAT movie! The music and accompanying songs are beautiful, the casting is practically perfect, and the storyline and plot is very touching and suitable and appropriate for all ages, from young kids, to the elderly! It is a family-friendly, Indian version of "The Parent Trap"!
Kuch Kuch Hota Hai is a WONDERFUL movie, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who likes/loves Hindi movies.
5 STARS!! Kuch Kuch Hota Hai is AWESOME!!!!
