Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham is packed with contemporary trappings and production values but is in every way a traditional and generic Hindi movie. Those new to Bollywood might be disconcerted by some of the fashion statements or the mixture of drawn-out, lachrymose melodrama and slightly overplayed comedy-romantic interplay between Rahul and Anjali. There are also some scenes around Leicester Square and Westminster that are almost insulting in their stereotyping of hot, swinging London. However, K3G--as it has become affectionately known--is a riot of joyful color, music and choreography (an embarrassing version of "It's Raining Men" is an exception). This is not a crossover movie, perhaps but a sumptuous treat for Bollywood fans. --David Stubbs

Customer Reviews of Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham...
Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gam I have never seen an India movie before. I seen it because it was a birthday gift for my daughter friend and I was into the DVD just being noise. I turned it on and was looking at the move for a long time. I cried and cried it was one of the most heart warming movies I seen. If only the movie was all in English I hate sub-titles. But it is still worth looking at and I plan to get more to look at. I have a lot of India customer coming to my hair salon who tells me to look at the movie "BAGHBAN" I was told that movie would put me in tears also. COOL!
Great movie
This is a wonderful movie that we watched and shared with others four times during the first week we had it. The only problem we had with the movie is that it is a double layer movie. On some of our DVD players it would skip sections which was extreemly annoying. When we found which player would play it without skipping we had an extreemly enjoyable time. Some scenes were a bit sensual even though it has a PG rating. The rating is close though. It didn't seem like the movie was as long as it says. It goes by quickly. It does have an "intermission" in the middle which is good. The only reason I wouldn't rate it five stars is the technical aspect of the disk. I wish they'd put it onto two disks.

>Rahul (Shah Rukh Khan) adopted son of a wealthy Indian family is disowned by his Father (Amitabh Bachchan) for refusing his arranged marriage and marrying Anjali (Kajol) a poor local girl. Brokenhearted, Rahul not only leaves the family estate, but leaves India altogether taking up residence in London, England.

<
>Ten years later his younger brother Rohan (Hrithik Roshan) goes in search of Rahul in hopes of mending the breach between father and son and restore family unity. Rohan was only a small boy when Rahul left, so when they meet again in London Rahul has no idea who he is. Rohan introduces himself saying, "Ash, my name is Ash," using his Father's name to stir his older brother's memories of home.

>So begins the deception. Pretending to be a college student named Ash in search of lodging, he is taken in by Rahul's family. With his disguise now firmly in place Rohan begins to work on Rahul's emotions and love for family and Mother India in an attempt to breakthrough the bitterness of the past.

>'Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham' is one of three fantastic Indian films produced in the last couple of years. While the other two, 'Lagaan' and 'Pinjar' are not normative Indian films, this one takes advantage of all the usual Bollywood formulas. However it does it so perfectly you don't care.

>The sets and costumes are sumptuous beyond belief, while the music and dancing sways back and forth between mindboggling frenzy and sweet melancholy touching every human emotion imaginable. It doesn't get any better than this in Bollywood, or anywhere else for that matter!
