The film introduces Johar's famous statement that the first step towards love is friendship and does it in a slightly cheesy yet rather convincing way. This is an enjoyable and charming picture which can make you laugh, cry, at times even cringe with annoyance, but then it will keep you consistently entertained.
It is one of those beautiful Hindi romantic comedies that actually form the unique cultural and artistic style of Bollywood's most famous mainstream flicks. In spite of being a bit of a fairy tale, it works very well within its limitations. Karan Johar's directorial debut Kuch Kuch Hota Hai is one of those films you can always watch and enjoy with your family and friends. I wll definitely be looking out for more Indian films in the future. Great melodies, especially the title song - which added to the emotional impact of the movie itself. Although I was quite new to Indian "musical numbers" in which they incorporate within their films and even found the performances in them a little bit on the cheesy side, I throroughly enjoyed some of the songs as well. I can say that having been used to watching generally American films, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai is a romance that stands out from the typical Hollywood love story - paying attention to detail and character development in a way in which I've rarely seen before. But as soon as I got into the story (and got over the horrible and sometimes non-visible subtitles) I was completely hooked! Whether it was the directing or the wonderful screen presence of the actors, somethng about this film had the ability to capture the emotions of the viewer. Being a general film fanatic, I agreed to watch this film, not expecting much.
She comes from Indian decent and had always nagged me to watch Indian films with her but I always declined. I saw this film randomly the other day while at a friend's house.
