Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gam (2001)

Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gam (also known as K3G or KKKG) was a much awaited movie from the Karan Johar stable since it promised to bring together the 2 biggest stars of Bollywood, Amitabh Bachchan and Shahrukh Khan. In addition, the movie would also star the very infrequently seen Jaya Bachchan, and a bonus would be the hearthrob and hunk, Hrithik Roshan. Kajol and Kareena Kapoor would complete the list of all the star cast.
The movie, set on the complicated relationship in a family bound by traditions, and yet caring and loving each other, was a big hit. Although it also true that there are a number of people who can't stand the movie, given that the story line is very limited, and the central theme of the movie is the distance between the father and the son due to the ego clashes between them (more due to the father not willing to bend his principles). The movie is also about the husband-wife relationship and about the expectations vs. responsibility of this relationship.


Right from the beginning, Yashovardhan Raichand (Bachhan) and wife Nandini (Jaya) have set family norms based on certain principles and family traditions that are really inflexible. Yashovardhan is the typical patriarch who runs the family, and his word is law. Nandini respects his authority, but is more believing in the love between her and her sons, and that is the abiding principle of her life. They have 2 sons, Rahul (Shah Rukh) who is adopted, and Rohan (Hrithik Roshan), who is younger to Shahrukh by 8 years. Because Rahul is adopted, he is even more dedicated to his parents and will obey every wish of theirs.
Things are on track, and Yashovardhan is looking to get Rahul married to Rani Mukherjee (in a guest role) who is of a similar status and has even agreed to the match. And then disaster strikes. Shahrukh falls in love with Anjali (Kajol), a bubbly but clumsy girl from Chandni Chowk (and daughter of a local shop-keeper Anupam Kher). She for some time remains unaware of his love, but slowly realizes it. However, Yashovardhan will have none of it, and forbids this love. And this is where it would have remained had tragedy not struck in the shape of the death of Anupam Kher. Shahrukh marries Anajali, but the ego and conflict between father and son drives Shahrukh far away, to England.
The father has his ego, but Nandini can only suffer and pine over the loss of her elder son. It is then that the younger son, leaning about the actual reasons for Shahrukh not being there in the house, promises to get him back. And so he sets out, finding them and making friends through Kareena (playing a girl of her age, with all the pomp and show). Eventually Kajol finds out, and then Shahrukh also finds out (when Hrithik teacher Shahrukh's son this family saying "Jab bhi tumhe kuchh pana ho, kuchh hasil karna ho to humesha apne man ki suno aur agar man se bhi koi jawab na aye to apni ankhe band karo aur apne ma-baba ka nam lo … har muskil asan ho jayegi, har manzil nazdeek lagegi aur jeet tumhari hogi.").
And then the return of Shahrukh to the family home, well inspired by an act of rebellion by Nandini who tells her husband that the consequences of his actions led to grief and suffering; and eventually he realizes the love within him.
The movie has plenty of emotional scenes, and the director uses them to the maximum in order to cover over a script that is not very detailed. The music is good, with some hummable and hit songs (music by Jatin-Lalit, Aadesh Shrivastava and Sandesh Shandilya; lyrics by Sameer, Choreography by Farah Khan).

Dekhe jahan bhi dekhe, tujhko hi paaye
Oh, subh-o-shyaam charno mein diye hum jalaaye

In labon pe tera bas tera naam ho - 2
Pyaar dil se kabhi bhi na ho kam
Yeh hai tere karam, kabhi khushi kabhi gham

Khushbuon se teri yeh mahekta rahe - 2
Aaye jaaye bhale koi mausam

Na judaa honge hum, kabhi khushi kabhi gham

Aa aa aa aa aa aa, kabhi khushi kabhi gham
Na judaa honge hum, kabhi khushi kabhi gham
