Along comes Aman Mathur (Shah Rukh Khan), a charasmatic man who enters the Kapoors' home and changes their lives for the better, much to Naina's dismay. The two have never been more than just friends. Her best friend is Rohit (Saif Ali Khan), a fellow MBA student who has seen Naina through all her troubles. The constant bickering among the members of her household has transformed Naina into a pitiful bore who has "forgotten" how to smile. Naina Catherine (Priety Zinta) is the eldest daughter of Jenny Kapoor (Jaya Bachchan) and a father whose suicide has wreaked havoc on the entire Kapoor family. KAL HO NAA HO continues this tradition in grand style. They hit every emotional high and low possible in the typical Bollywood audience, and the end results were magnificent. They were the ultimate crowd pleasers: a perfect mix of comedy and drama with compelling stories, masterful performances, catchy music, and impeccable direction. Their first two productions, KUCH KUCH HOTA HAI and KABHI KHUSHI KABHIE GHAM were both, in their respective times, the most popular Hindi films of all time, and with good reason. KAL HO NAA HO ("Tomorrow May or May Not Come") is the third film involving writer-director Karan Johar and Dharma Productions, an Indian film label that has become synonymous with box-office and critical gold. If anybody can do so, however, it is an Indian. There are so many Hollywood-esque problems that threaten its quality, so many qualms that any self-respecting American critic would feel compelled to point out, that loving it seems like a chore.
There's the constant melodrama, the endless love triangles and dress changes, the randomly inserted songs and hammy dialogue.not to mention the age-old desire to be everything to every viewer. It takes a special person to apreciate a great Bollywood movie. Har pal yaha, jeebhar jiyo, jo hai samaa.kal ho naa ho.
