Every once in a while there comes a really good film...

Yet another wholesome entertainer from Yash Johar. The entire story is based in New York. Spiced with romance, humour and pathos, it follows the lines of Karan Johar's earlier films like 'Kuch Kuch Hotha Hai' and 'Kabhie Khushi Kabhie Ghum' wherein Indian culture, values and the joint family ambience is depicted with so much warmth and sensitivity.

Weaved into the structure is the triangular romance between Rohit (Saif Ali Khan), Aman (Shah Rukh) and Naina (Preity Zinta). Sans the overdose of glamour and action, the film yet manages to capture audience attention for the entire narration proving that a well-told story and neat presentation works better than no proper scripting and frills galore.

With Karan Johar scripting the film, it is directed by debutant Nikhil Advani. But it's the Karan Johar touch that you see throughout the film.

Shah Rukh is splendid, re-establishing his credentials as an actor with an abundance of emotional reportoire, wrenching our hearts with his portrayal. Preity Zinta seems to improve from film to film, her bubbliness and spontaneous performance reminding one of Kajol, filling the void Kajol has left. Saif is the surprise package, lively and holding his own against the emotional onslaught of Shah Rukh. And there's Jaya Bachchan as Preity's mother, a delight to watch on the screen even today

Withan excellent sound track fitting well in with the rest of the movie, it's a not-to-be-missed film.
