DWTWTA (Don’t want to watch them again)!!! (Part 2)

The cult movie that I am dying to review is Kuch kuch Hota hai (Something something is happening happening). ‘Lead ham specialist’ – Shah Rukh Khan, ‘Lead shrieker’ – Kajol, ‘Lead plump doll in mini skirts’ – Rani Mukherjee, ‘Lead cute kid with a stress ball on top of his head to make him look like a sardarji’ – Parzan Dastur.

It was the first movie of the now legendary Karan Johar. Thankfully he finds interviewing people more interesting than making movies nowadays. Story is based out of a college somewhere in European locales which is full of Indians. Only the railway station is Indian. Rahul (Shahrukh) is the stud of the college. Anjali (Kajol) is the tomboy. Both are thick friends. They both play basketball together with both the hands. And fight once in a while. Rahul stammers ‘cheater’ to Anjali and Anjali shrieks ‘cheater, cheater, cheater’ to Rahul and they are supposedly having a fight. After which they make up by playing around with their thumbs and forefingers.

New girl ‘Tina’ (Rani) comes to the college and Rahul from then on does most of the stammering for Tina. Tina when she is not cavorting in micro minis is singing ‘bhajans’ in 100 yard long saris. Rahul seems to love schizophrenics like her and proposes. Tina, lo and behold accepts it. Anjali feels left out and she tries to have a makeover to look more like a girl to win back Rahul. Manish Malhotra fails big time with his make up duties on Anjali and people laugh at her including Rahul and Tina. Some emotional scenes, some rain, a song and they all make up at the end of it all. In the meantime Anjali goes home in a train determined to make a comeback in the second half.

Rahul utilizes the time productively by marrying Tina and fathering a kid. The kid very conveniently is a girl and she is named Anjali as a mark of respect for his basketball mate. Since Rani was not a big actress and she is no longer needed, she dies. Anjali junior grows up to be as irritating as Kajol.

Anjali junior is going for a school camp and Kajol would be there in the same camp as the head teacher. There are cute kids around of varying age groups and they all play with rings and balls in the background most of the time. Kajol comes to know that Anjali junior is the daughter of Rahul and Anjali junior comes to know that Kajol was the last hottie of her dad before marriage. She wants Kajol to marry Rahul as her mother (Tina) had given well documented instructions to her just before dying that this should happen. Small blip though. Kajol is engaged to Salman Khan of HAHK fame. Salman is a big actor. U cant wrench girls off him and marry just like that. So Kajol has to sing and dance with him in one song before coming to the school (or was it after?). In the meantime Rahul also joins camp and is surprised to see Kajol in sari. They sing 2 or 3 songs together, reminisce about old times and duly fall in love.

The small matter of Salman Khan is taken care of by he himself making a big sacrifice of kajol. He anyways got 1 song with her. That took care of 95% of his screen time. ROI wise it was not a bad decision.
