my first entry for this LJ!!!
thanx to the great efforts of mimi n janet i now have a new journal to blab on....isnt it great...here i gooo
watchin foreign movies is so refreshing, so different. so, yesterday i went over a friend's house and watched a part of this really great movie with my favorite actor (SRK) sinse this summer. now keep in mind i havent had a really favorite movie sinse "the lion king" and now every new movie of his that comes out is my favorite. so this summer, purely out of boredom i started watchin an indian movie of his at that same friend's house. and i fell in love. this is my 4th SRK movie that im watching and if i went on to describe why i love his movies so much this will be too long. ok maybe i will (ill try to keep it short). there is such passion in those movies n especially in the characters he plays that u forget its a movie. u wanna laff n cry at the same time and u end up doin just that. the overall idea of his movies is very familiar n may even seem overplayed but the way the story is played out makes u not wanna take ur eyes off the screen for the whole 3 hours that it's playing. its all in the details.
dont think im obsessed yet? well lemme just say that im not that big on movies...i mean after its done its like "hmm that was good, so wuts next" but SRK's movies reallllyy stay with u even months later.
well i cant help it, im posting a lil summary of the new movie:
Kal Ho Na Ho 
Starring
Shah Rukh Khan .... Aman Mathur
Preity Zinta .... Naina Catherine Kapur
Saif Ali Khan .... Rohit
SynopsisKal Ho Naa Ho is the story of three friends whose relationship is based on unconditional love and emotional empathy with each other.
The setting is New York in present times. Life is quite brooding for Naina Catherine Kapur (Preity Zinta). The cause of her sombre lifestyle is a family tragedy that shook her world and took her happiness away.
Her humdrum daily routine includes her chores in her half Punjabi-half Catholic household in which she has to deal with a short tempered grand-mother, has to look after her little sister and brother besides helping her mother Jennifer [Jaya Bachchan] deal with the family's financial troubles. In short, life could not be drabber for this gorgeous belle.
But things change with the coming of Aman Mathur [Shah Rukh Khan] into the tiny Indian neighborhood where she lives.
Aman is an extrovert person who gets friendly with almost everybody and begins to win everybody’s heart with his jolly nature. When he sees the sadness in a young and beautiful girl like Naina, he sets about to bring happiness into her life.
For this he also gets help from his good friend Rohit [Saif Ali Khan], an eligible Manhattan bachelor.
After few initial failures, the two manage to bring Naina out of her dull and gloomy moods and make her genuinely happy. The three become very good friends and every thing is hunky-dory.
But this happiness is short-lived when it turns out that one of them suffers from a deadly disease
ReviewKaran Johar-SRK combination works for the third time as the two come up with a film that begins on a lighthearted note but ends with a climax that will reduce viewers to tears. Nikhil Advani deserves all praises for telling the story without making it mushy and yet not compromising on the emotional quotient at the same time.
At the center of the story is a happy-go-luck fellow who spreads happiness and believes in giving to others without demanding anything back. But as is said that behind every smile there lies an unshed tear, so is the case with the film’s protagonist Aman. And then there is a character of a gorgeous girl who seems to be aging before her time until Aman comes into her life. In the sidelines is a jolly guy (Saif) who has a golden heart but cannot impress upon girls.
The proceedings are fine and everything seems hunky-dory until the relationship between the three is tested by the harsh realities of life.
Shahrukh Khan towers over everyone in the film with his kaleidoscopic performance. He brings smiles to many a face in the first half and he is the one who draws them to tears in the latter half of the movie.
Preity Zinta looks stunning throughout the movie and delivers a noteworthy performance. Saif too stands in equal stead and proves his salt as an actor. Jaya Bachchan, as usual, spellbinds the viewers with her histrionics.
On the whole Kal Ho Naa Ho is a healthy entertainer that will appeal to family crowds and viewers of all ages.
