Writer/director Karan Johar confirms the promise of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai with an intense family saga brought to life by some of Bollywood's biggest stars. Hrithik Roshan travels to London in the hope of uniting adopted sibling Shah Rukh Khan with Amitabh Bachchan, the proud father who disowned his youngest son after he married a chatty Punjabi shop owner, played by Kajol. With Jaya Bachchan piling on the piety as Amitabh's wife and Kareena Kapoor providing light relief as Kajol's mischievous sister, there are several shifts in mood and plenty of memorable musical moments. Thankfully the overriding emphasis on barnstorming melodrama also means there are few longueurs in a movie with such an epic running time.

Not memorable
This film laboured on……..and on. I was not bowled over by the music however some of the landscape scenes were beautiful. The story line seemed silly and in the end, not worth the wait and the thunder used to punctuate any strong words became laughable.
I did not particulary warm to the characters and for many reasons, the actress Kajol, annoys me in any film with her over the top, contorted expressions; over emphasised, jarring movements and shouting. Thank goodness Shah Rukh Khan can hold up any film and Amitabh Bachchan has great on screen presence. It is watchable but not memorable. -
