Although Karan Johar penned the script, Nikhil Advani has fused that with his vision. Advani's direction makes Kal Ho Na Ho stand out from the two previous Johar films that we have been bombarded with. On the whole Kal Ho Na Ho is a simple story said through the eyes of a very creative and able first-timer : Nikhil Advani. I could garner more sympathy for Rohit's rejection than for Aman's end towards the climax of the movie. He irritates at times, with his nosey attitude in the movie. He does light up the screen with his presence, but could have sobered down on the acting front. He tends to over act a bit, and still sufferes from the Devdas hangover. Shahrukh Khan, although an actor of fine caliber, seems to be type-cast in tragic roles now. His wit would surely be met with lots of applaudes. He does so well in his character, and has his dialogue delivery is so natural, that he steals the thunder from SRK in some scenes. The transformation from an uptight individual to a carefree one is perfectly played by Zinta. On the performance front, Preity Zinta takes the laurels for acting our her part in a deft yet convincing manner. The Shahrukh-Saif gay misunderstanding is handled very well by the director. So do Rajpal Yadav, and the aging yet seductive Lilet Dubey. On the funnier side of it, Satish Shah provides many genuine laughs with his Patel character. Kuddos to Sushma Seth for infusing life in the otherwise typical bad mom-in-law character. The Jaya Bachchan-Sushma Seth track is a little loud, but very natural. The main highlights are the sub-plots that revolve around each character. The movie has many high points, some emotional, some funny. Saif Ali Khan's introductory scene is simply creative, to say the least.
The monologue-style introduction to each character is unique and very different indeed. Nikhil Advani has handled the introductory scenes with aplomb. Kal Ho Na Ho starts of on an interesting note with narration by Preity Zinta.
The cast is incredible, and the music decent and pleasant enough like most Dharma movies. First, it was penned by Karan Johar, and second it was coming from the Dharma Productions stable. Kal Ho Na Ho had generated an amazing amount of pre-release hype. Synopsis : Love triangle between Rohit Patel (Saif Ali), Naina (Preity) and Aman (SRK), set in New York.
