Javed Akhtar
What would you do if you found yourself nearing the end of your life, due to a devastating disease, especially if you hadn't even reached your prime? Would you be thrown on a roller coaster ride of emotions? Would it change how you looked at life and its priorities? Would you turn to the ones you love for support, or simply back away and live out your final days alone?
Shah Rukh Khan's character in Kal Ho Naa Ho has to make those difficult decisions. What will he do when his beautiful romance with Priety Zinta's character is on the verge of being cut short because tragedy strikes, and the story of a lifetime happens in a heartbeat? What will happen to Priety's character now that the love of her life is losing his? Who will she turn to if he turns her away? Will Shah Rukh's doctor played by Saif Ali Khan become her solace in her time of need?
Audiences who scramble to the cinema to see SRK's new film, had better bring several boxes of tissues along, as Karan Johar promises, "you'll weep buckets throughout the entire story." Those aware of Johar's films can take him seriously, since he's done it twice before in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Kabhi Khushie Khabie Ghum. Just think about the lines of Kal Ho Naa Ho themselves and you'll get a taste of what he means.
Aaj, aaj ek hansee aur baant lo...
(Today, today, share another laugh)
Aaj, ek dua aur maang lo...
(Today, ask for another supplication)
Aaj, ek aansu aur pi lo...
(Today, drink {as in save} another tear)
Aaj, ek zindagi aur ji lo...
(Today, live another life)
Aaj, ek sapna aur dekh lo...
(Today, dream another dream)
Kya pata, Kal Ho Naa Ho...
(Who knows what tomorrow holds)
