Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna |
We also wonder why nobody advised Dev and Maya to keep their relationship under wraps, especially when they'd decided to call if off. Didn't someone tell them that the secret to a happy marriage is not sharing everything with your spouse, especially not tales of betrayal. It's very rare for a marriage to last after a confession of this nature. But there's a twist in the tale which leads to a disturbing climax that most conservative Indians might not be able to relate to.
Coming back to the plus points of the film. The title song 'Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna', 'Rock n Roll Soniye', and 'Where's The Party Tonite' truly rock. The performances are truly good. Shah Rukh is very entertaining in the first half and the perfect intense lover in the second half. Preity is her usual confident and natural self and one can see her transition from a bubbly girl to a mature woman. The generous show of cleavage is an indication. Rani is good, as usual. Abhishek is also good and handles the comic and emotional scenes well. His angry outburst when Maya reveals to him her affair with Dev is outstanding. Kajol and John Abraham are scene stealers in their brief appearances in two songs; 'Rock n Roll Soniye' and 'Where's The Party Tonite' respectively. Excellent cinematography. Senior Bachchan is in superb form and his womanizing streak in the film looks almost true to life. Arjun Rampal doesn't get much scope.
Overall a film with style but no real content and that will work only for its brand name.
