It’s like a logical computer program wrote the screenplay.

Needless to say, many things go awry, volatile emotions are stirred, relationship intentions are misunderstood, people die, and it all ends in another long, drawn-out wedding elopement climax. KKHH is based on the love-triangle formed by its three central characters, played by SRK, Kajol, and Mukerji, who meet during college. Case in point: This picture of the “oh so adorable” Sana Saeed.īut I digress… this movie’s really about love, right? And what love there is, in this boring, impotent plot. Bottom: The film’s hair, makeup, and costume design are almost as ridiculous as the acting. Nothing in its standard-issue romance justifies its 3-hour+ runtime. Top: Aside from a typically colorful Bollywood-palette, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai brings nothing recommendable to the table. The overly goofy and awkward dialogue, combined with the incredibly cheesy, over-the-top performances from actors Shah Rukh Khan (SRK) and Kajol to Rani Mukerji and Salman Khan to Anupam Kher and Archana Puran Singh, all the way to the stage dancers, make Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (henceforth, KKHH) feel as downright offensive to my intelligence as this run-on sentence. This movie possesses some of the most painful and cringe-worthy moments I have seen put to film.
