Movie Reviews of Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham...
Movie Review: Beautiful, but highly melodramatic
Summary: 4 Stars
K3G was the first Bollywood film I saw, and my viewing it resulted in my thorough addiction to the genre. I spent almost four hours watching this family drama, the singing and dancing, and all the beautiful actors and actresses and was completely mesmerized by the sheer pageantry of the film. The so-so story is essentially two different love stories, set against the backdrop of intense family pressures and cultural issues unique to life as an NRI (non-resident Indian). As with all Karan Johar movies, there is plenty of crying and melodrama, but a happy ending. K3G is an Indian blockbuster that stars six of the biggest film stars in the Bollywood industry and features unusual, exquisite scenery and expensive, lavish costumes. The songs, in particular, are gorgeous eye candy.
My main complaint about this film arises from several years of watching Hindi cinema, in that the melodrama and pat dialogues of this movie become less moving and more annoying over time. However, I still recommend this movie as a nice, entertaining film and a fine overall introduction into the spectacle of Bollywood movies. While it's not one of the best for either acting or story (despite winning several awards in the year of its release), K3G is still a solid Karan Johar production that is easy to watch and likely to lead to a Bollywood addiction.
Summary of Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham...
The 2001 romantic Bollywood drama Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham ("Happiness and Tears") proved to be even more successful than Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, the highest-grossing Indian film of all time and one that was also directed by Karan Johar. Starring veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan and wife Jaya, this tells the story of an Indian family who live in palatial comfort but who are riven when the eldest, adopted son Rahul marries Anjali (Kajol) a feisty and attractive woman but whose "lower breeding" causes his father to disapprove of her. Breaking his mother's heart, Rahul moves to Britain with Anjali before younger brother Rohan tries to go after him and end 10 years of estrangement to reunite the family.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
