Summary: Yet another great film from Karan Johar.
Review: This is one of my favorite two Bollywood films. If you watch this film and "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai", you will be hooked on Indian films. You will know what Bollywood is all about.

This is a story about a man named Rohan (Hrithik Roshan) who wonders what happened to his older brother Rahul (Shahrukh Khan). He overheard his grandmother talking about how Rohan's father asked his eldest son to leave home because he fell in love with a girl from the village. Rahul married the village girl and moved to London. So Rohan sets about a quest to find his older brother in London and bring him home to their father to try to make amends. Rohan's and Rahul's father (Amitabh Bachchan) is too proud to admit that he misses his son and knows that his wife (Jaya Bachchan), is tramatically heartbroken and without peace with Rahul gone.

This is a very colorful film which really flaunts the lifestyle of the filthy rich. All the costumes are so beautiful, and all the songs in this film are truly enjoyable. This film also stars Kajol, Kareena Kapoor, and a small part with my favorite actress Rani Mukherjee. If you saw "Asoka", this is also where you saw Shahrukh Khan and Kareena Kapoor together. And if you saw "Mission Kashmir", that is where you saw Hrithik Roshan. And also, if you are familiar, at all, about Bollywood films, you will know that Amitabh Bachchan is the most famous actor in the world (perhaps only the US may be the least familiar with him).

Karan Johar has just released his third film called "Kal Ho Naa Ho" which stars (again) Shahrukh Khan, and also Saif Ali Khan, and Preity Zinta (also in "Mission Kashmir") . Pretty soon, you'll see how easy it is to start collecting movies of your favorite Bollywood stars. To download pictures of these stars and stills from these movies, go to www.IndiaFM.com . To find out other movies these stars are in, go to Amazon's www.IMDb.com .

I am so glad to see that Amazon is making these Bollywood films available.

Summary: It's okay.....
Review: Well, this is NOT my favorite Bollywood film. Kajol's character and Kareena Kapoor's character completely get on my nerves. However, the songs and dance sequences are awesome, the plot is not too bad. Oh god, if only Kareena and Kajol weren't so annoying!!! Ugh!!! This film will have limited appeal to an American audience, and I am an American girl, so of course, my tastes are going to differ quite a bit from the others reviewing this film. Nevertheless, I do really like both Kajol and Kareena in their other films. Kajol really shines in "Dilwale Dulanhia Le Jayenge" and "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai". Kareena was great as the princess-on-the-lam in "Asoka". I recommend all three films to Americans curious about Hindi films (although the beginning of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai drags on and on a bit too much). But good lord, did they ever stink in this film!! Shahrukh and Amitabh are good, Hrithik is good. I don't know why, but the female characters in this film are thin, thin, thin on character, and just plain irritating! Both actresses are superb in their other films, so I guess this director just doesn't know how to portray women very effectively....
