Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna

Reel Release Date: July 27,2006
Theatre Release Date: August 11, 2006
Producer : Dharma Productions
Director: Karan Johar
Music: Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy
Actors: Amitabh Bachchan, Shahrukh Khan, Rani Mukherjee, Abhishek Bachchan, Preity Zinta, Kirron Kher.

Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna, so far the most talked about movie of the year.
Though Karan claims it to be his script, I feel its been inspired by ‘Closer’, again a story of four individual, only with a different ending.


The characters in KANK earn respect as individuals however ‘Closer’ fails to do that.
KANK represents a story of four people who make their own priorities.
Audience will like it as per their believes evolving around
1) betraying ,accepting, and apologizing
2) forgiving and accepting
I feel if Shahrukh and Rani betrayed their sppouses, they also accepted , apologized and returned back to them. Abhishel and Preity claimed to love their respective partners but could not forgive them for what they did.

As per me, the fault lies in each of them as does in every human.

Verdict: Recommended Watch! If you enjoy subjects like these.

Lakshya

Release: August 2004
Producer : Ritesh Sidhwani
Director: Farhan Akhtar
Music: Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy
Actors: Amitabh Bachchan as Col. Sunil Damle, Hrithik Roshan as Karan Shergill, Preity Zinta as Romila Dutta, on Puri as Subedar Major Pritam Singh, Sharad Kapoor as Major Binod Sengupta

Lakshya, I saw the movie for the second time yesterday and it was now that it made more impact on me compared to when I saw it in 2004.
The movie is about a confused, indecisive, affluent lad who decides to join army only because his friend is joining the same, who eventually backs out. Karan (Hrithik) goes through the difficult training only to run away from the campus of Indian Military Academy(IMA). Once back home Romila (Preity) makes him realise that he has lost respect by doing so. He joins back IMA and graduates out as Captain Karan Shergill.

He is deputed to Ladhakh and there is where he finds a meaning to his existence.
On the otherside Romila becomes a nes correspondent in Global News and is engaged to a business man. She breaks the engagement later due to her difference in opinion with Rajiv. Comes to Kargil and meets Karan......

The movie make me realise that its the normal college going people who eventually make the difference... as it can be any person who makes a difference at some point of time and life is all about decisions. Its decisions that give your life a meaning.

The only alteration I would have wished in the movie is Romila's character, the story made me lose respect for her. I being the script writer wouldn't have written her engagement peice.

Over all its a grreat movie.
Verdict: Please Watch!!!

Fanna

Release: June 2006
Producer : Aditya Chopra
Director: Kunal Kohli
Music: Jatin-Lalit
Actors: Aamir Khan, Kajol, Rishi Kapoor, Kirron Kher, Tabu

Fanna as the name says 'destroyed in love' is a story of a militant who fails to complete his mission in the name of his love.
The first half of the movie is a cute romantic flirty story, the movie changes cinematography in the second half where the audience get to know the mission behind the man. A man who so much believes in his mission cannot see it until completion because his conscience refuses to fight back his love.

The movie was nice and makes sense if you try to relate it to the title of the movie, but in the end I think Kunal directed the movie only to make it fit the label, otherwise the movie could have been dealt a little more sensitively.

Verdict: Can Watch! Kajol Aamir together for the first time.
