Storyline
The story starts with the college days where Shah Rukh Khan as Rahul, Kajol as Anjali and Rani Mukherjee as Tina. Kajol and Shah Rukh Khan are always fighting with each other, play pranks but they are always best of friends. Kajol is a tom-boy and unlike other girls does not do any makeup and dress or the latest fashion to attract boys. Shar Rukh Khan is always behind girls and looking for a sweet heart. In comes the Rani Mukherjee as sweet, gorgeous and up to date with fashion and becomes Shah Rukh Khan’s friend. However, Anjali is in love with Rahul and want to tell his feeling. Jealous of Tina, Kajol also wants to dress like her to impress Rahul but hiding her feeling from him.
Finally Rahul tells his feeling to Tina and unable to bear this heart break Kajol goes ways from their life and does not contact either of them. Tina gives birth to a sweet baby girl but unfortunately dies during labor. Now Rahul is alone again with only his daughter.
There is portion of the story where Tina left a diary for her daughter about what happened in the college and how much Kajol used to love Rahul which Rahul was not aware of. This left a lot of question in that Tina was aware about her imminent death. Any way these is the part of Indian cinema where you are not supposed to think too hard but follow your heart rather than you brain.
Then start the series on how Rahul’s daughter turns the situation and makes arrangement so that both Kajol and Rahul can rediscover their love. But now Kajol is engaged with Salman Khan and is soon to be married. This is the time of high drama and emotional scenes.
Final Thoughts
Kukh Kukh Hota Hai did turn to be the mile stone for the debue director Karan Johar. KKHH has a great music score of 90’s with Jatin-Lalit with some unforgettable lyrics and songs. Lyricist Sameer wrote the romantics songs to add much charm this story. Yash Raj banner also showed faith in Karan Johar and he did not disappoint them. Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Rani Kukherjee and Salman Khan all looked good and gave some of their best performances.
Rating
I give 9 out of 10 to Kukh Kukh Hota Hai for portraying brilliant on screen romance and heart touching emotional scenes.

Top Indian Romantic Movie: Kal Ho Naa Ho
Twist in the Tale
Kal Ho Naa Ho takes the tragic note until SRK becomes so ill and doctor advise him to a complete rest as he has only a few days left in his life. SRK wants both of them to patch and tie the knot. Movie has the sad end with the death of SRK. The theme of the movie is well portrayed that how a man who know that he is going to die but still teaches us a lesson to enjoy every bit of the life as there may not be a tomorrow.
On Screen Chemistry
Shah Rukh Khan was as good as ever but the emotional scenes leave the traces of overacting. Priety Zinta was gorgeous but Saif Ali Khan was wasted with a few dialogs. Some gay scenes in the movie and humor made audiences laugh a bit. Movie is one time watch.
Rating
I will give 7 out of 10 to Kal Ho Naa Ho for it’s romantic music, strong performance from SRK, fluent story telling. It does not have the strong storyline and they also did not reveal what life threatening disease Shah Rukh Khan had.

SRK’s Biggest Hit of 2007: Chak De India
Wednesday, November 2nd, 2011
Movie: Chak De India
Director: Shimit Amin
Time: 2007
Stars: Shah Rukh Khan (SRK) and Vidya Malvade
Snapshot of the story
This patriotic story revolves around the Ex Hockey player Kabir Khan (Played by SRK) who was thrown out of the Indian national hockey team on false ground of helping Pakistani hockey team in a crucial world cup match. He comes back to help the women’s hockey team as a coach because he is desperate to prove that he is a true Indian and all the allegations were wrong.
Chak De India Movie Review
Theme of Story
Chak De India shows the dying condition of other sports in India, especially hockey in comparison to cricket which continues to grow and attract more and more people along with money and power; on the other side women hockey has been completely neglected. The story stars when Kabir Khan wants to join the Indian national hockey team as a coach for the world championship. His problem does not end here but gets worse as the team (from different states of India) he got can be overwhelmingly defeated by European and Australian school teams. Kabir Khan started coaching these untrained players and successfully deals with attitudes of few senior players. Under his coaching these players from different states of India who speak different language starts to put a good show. They start performing well in the world championship but in spite of all this the team is let down badly by a couple of senior player who plays dirty politics within the team and try to gain individual mileage.
On Screen Chemistry
Shah Rukh Khan is the soul of the movie and plays Kabir Khan with perfection, that is why he has been called the king of Bollywood. Director did a great job in casting all the team members and made us feel that every character is necessary to the whole storyline. Movie has the theme songs “Chak De India” which sets the audience alive.
The Happy Ending
Last 30 minutes of the movie holds much drama, thrill and emotions as the women’s hockey team enters in to finals and beating major teams and passing the true test of their skills. However, the real test of nerves is still needed to be tested as there is hardly any difference in their skillsets. The final match between India and Australia was a cracker of a game and has some of the best moments in the movie as both teams go to sudden death where India bags the world championship with some last minute tips from the coach Kabir Khan. After this win Kabir Khan gets appreciation from the entire nation and proves that he is a true Indian.
Conclusion
The story is about an ambitious man who never lost his faith in his own ability and his bold approach to other fellow colleagues to provide them with equal inspiration and hope to do well in their own lives.
