This is a discussion on Kabhi Alvida na Kehna within the Movie Reviews forums, part of the Entertainment category; After watching this movie, seriously I am in no mood to write a review, but just to warn you all ...
Direction
The direction is good, camera angles taken care of, its a typical Karan Johar movie with huge sets, beautiful locations very well covered , so no flaw there.
Screenplay.
Screenplay is quite good, Amitabh and Kiron Kher are the characters that are more enoyable than the others. Abhishek does a good job, so does rani and preity, Its sharukh however who plays the role of a irritated, stubborn guy to perfection, although he goes overboard once or twice but thats hardly noticable.
Storyline
THe downer, Really cant understand why the story was taken up, nothing new, nothing intresting, some scenes are too bland to be understood at all. Couldnt understand, y the movie was made at all.
Music.
Music is decent, but too similar to Kal ho Na Ho, but sound crisp to the ears, so its fine
Overall
Overall, it is a below average movie, not worth spending 150bux on it. Although the roles played by each person are quite ok according to their character, but the storyline makes the movie fall down flat. Only saviours are Amitabh Bacchand and Kiron Kher, who add the comedy touch to the movie.
Although i know every 1 would watch it for once, so i recommend not spending 150 bux on it.
Rating 5/10 cause i know females would love this stupid movie for its emotional scenes.

ohh.... am so happy I passed up the opportunity to watch this movie (friends went for FDFS )... I went for Omkara instead and got blown away by Saif Ali Khan !!
Anyway, this movie wont be a flop..... It will do well and make a lot of money because of the star case and the good marketing....
