So the movie with some delightful cinematic moments is definitely worth one watch. The very opportunity to see some accomplished actors together, lyrics by Javed Akhtar set to tune by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, and the heady effect of uptown New York and Philadelphia where the story is set and shot, give it the looks and sound of a worthy proposition.
And King Khan himself? Well, can he ever change his stereotyped expressions? But it doesn't really matter, as long as he keeps the audience thronging to the theatres and keeps the cash registers ringing. She has been reduced to a garishly done up item number! Abhishek is delightful as Rani's doting husband.
Rani of course plays her morose act to perfection but pray, what is Preity Zinta doing in a walk-on part. But just a passing thought: Picture of dignity that he is, does he really need to play every role that he is offered? Having said that, it is equally true that the high point of the movie is the rocking chemistry between father and son. It doesn't need to be reiterated that Big B is excellent at whatever he does. That in a nutshell is what the film is about. The bond transforms into something deeper and both relationships see turmoil. Thrown in for good measure is the widower (Amitabh Bachchan), Rishi's father, one of the most colorful playboys seen on the desi screen. Rishi (Abhishek) is a flamboyant PR guru married to the self-doubting schoolteacher Maya (Rani Mukherjee). Dev (Shah Rukh Khan), a footballer whose multi-million dollar career is fractured by a disabling accident, is married to the super successful Riya (Preity Zinta), a high-flying fashion magazine editor. The film is basically the story of two couples. Karan and his buddy Shah Rukh Khan seem to be a little lost in an alien world and the proceedings sometimes seem contrived and plastic, despite the film raising the pertinent question – should marriage make way for love or vice versa? Especially since the film is the never- been-married director's take on love and marriage. Well, he might be right but he still has lots of growing up to do. Kabhi Alvida? is, according to Karan Johar, his most mature movie till date. Starring: Shah Rukh Khan, Rani Mukherjee, Abhishek Bachchan, Preity Zinta
