He leaves, has an accident, effectively ending his soccer-playing career. In one of those quirky, surreal encounters (which happen only in Johar movies) Maya and Dev talk, and he encourages her to marry Rishi - which she does. Maya (Rani Mukerji ) isn't so sure, and talks about this with Dev, then an absolute stranger who happens to wander into the vicinity. Rishi (Abhishek Bachchan ) runs an ad company, loves Maya and partying. Then there's Dev's mom Kamaljit (Kirron Kher) a caterer of sorts, who's catering Rishi and Maya's wedding. Rhea works hard at her career, spending less time applauding sourpuss hubby for every goal he makes, than he would like. KANK deals with infidelity after marriage, and takes the story (which is admittedly shaky) to a mature conclusion.Дev Saran (Khan) is a rising soccer star in the US, married to fashion executive Rhea (Preity Zinta ). However, much to my surprise, Karan Johar actually steps into the 'grown-up' zone this time, tackling the substance under the candyfloss. So, a popcorn flick is what I'd expected in Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna.

They exist but only in a fictional sort of way, and their life and worries are a world apart from the universe we common denizens inhabit. You don't expect to see life's truths reflected in the dialogues of these out-of-the-world people. Or see Shah Rukh land in a chopper at the Raichand palace, and assume it's a normal day in the life of a rich man. It's fun to see Amitabh Bachchan do an arresting Shava Shava. Yes, of course, you see all his films, but you see them for the stars, the fashion, the gloss, the well-choreographed dance numbers, the sheen of expensive filmmaking. Starting today, we publish the top 10 reviews, in no particular order. The response was very good, and selecting the top ten reviews was quite the task. And when that philosophy is half-baked, the movie falls far short of greatness, in spite of its many strong positives.R invited readers to send in their reviews of Karan Johar's Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, and be part of the Rediff Movie Reviewers group. The director is trying to preach a philosophy to the audience instead of just telling an entertaining story. Ultimately, that's the main weakness in this movie. But then, the director claims not to understand arranged marriages, so the possibility of love growing in a marriage has obviously not occurred to him. It's hard to believe that love could not have grown in four years, even if the marriage only began with platonic friendship. The character of Rani Mukherji is especially weak because she has everything in her marriage - a rich and handsome husband who is also devoted, loving and kind. It's a rather naive view, for it implies that there is no need to work at a marriage (i.e., to have the courage to change oneself) because there is someone out there who is tailor-made for you! With such a juvenile philosophy driving the plot, it's little wonder that the story fails to convince or evoke sympathy for the two main protagonists. The director's philosophy is that there is a soulmate out there for everyone, and one can only be happy by marrying that person. What can one say? Karan Johar's interview before the movie's release should have given the game away. But then, on to the negatives: An extremely weak storyline and main characters who aren't very believable. But then, on to the negatives: An extremely weak OK, first the positives: Great-looking stars, some catchy music, many laugh-out-loud comic situations and dialogues (especially in the first half), very good cinematography and some moments of great acting, especially by Abhishek Bachchan.
