Wow! Such a good movie.
... View MoreThis is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
... View MoreThis is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

... View MoreWatched it again after a very long time. Still stays as the favourite of mine. Cried almost half dozen times all along the movie.
... View MoreComing late to the party, but this is a beautifully film shot with no expense spared when it comes to the sets and the actors involved. The story is a simple one of a prodigal son, but the caliber of most of the actors involved lifts up the whole film. Of particular note, Amitabh Bachchan plays the emotionally locked- down father with gravitas and power, and Jaya Bachchan is just very real playing the loving mother. Arguably the best performance comes from Shah Rukh Khan, who hits all the right notes in his role: He particularly excels when showing the emotional pain of his situation, most notably in the big (and best) final scene, where he is outstanding. Kajol's character confused me a little - she deviated between being loud and brash to timid and subservient in different scenes, with little explanation. Hrithik Roshan was good in some scenes, but I felt he was slightly out of his depth with the other actors, with the exception of Kareena Kapoor, who has been better in other films (And indeed, seemed to be in a different film altogether here). In terms of the film itself, it could have been even better with some pruning - the second half is particularly flabby, but that could have been due to my lack of interest in the younger son and his unconvincing romance. Really, the film has its best moments when it simply focuses on its strongest actors doing their thing in a simple room, and forgets the artificial opulence, glamorous locations and undeveloped or unexplained side-plots. Would I recommend this? Absolutely - for the simple story, and the superlative acting of the three main actors if nothing else.

... View MoreK3G is directed by Karan Johar and stars an unbeatable cast: Amithabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Sharhukh Khan, Kajol, Hrithik Roshan, and Kareena Kapoor. 6 stars should mean an awesome movie, right? Well, the answer is yes because there's stuff to love but unfortunately, also stuff that's just not that good. About the acting, out of the 6 leads, I only really liked 3 of the performances: SRK, Hrithik, and Jaya Bachchan. They really gave excellent performances, especially Hrithik Roshan. Amithabh, Kajol, and Kareena were pretty much overacting to the point of insanity for the entire movie and it got kind of irritating. I could tolerate Amithabh and Kajol's overacting, but by the time it got to Kareena Kapoor, I almost wanted to turn it off. I really mean that even though I really like this movie. Her introduction into the film was so ridiculously unnecessary and just cringe-worthy. The story is masterful. A father and son are estranged from each other and the younger son has to bring the family back together. I think Karan Johar handled this story excellently. The songs are really well handled, my favorite being "Bole Chudiyan." But there were so many songs that it felt like there were songs almost every 10 minutes. The comedy for the most part worked. There were tears about to come to my eyes in a couple of scenes. Also the movie is way too long. A lot of unnecessary scenes could have been cut out.I really enjoyed K3G. The 2 major problems I had with the film was the excessive overacting, especially Kareena Kapoor's, and the film's lengthy run time. That's why Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham gets a B.
