Click start and the game begins. Click on your favorite movies from a long list of Indian films such as Kuch Naa Kaho (2003), Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham (2001), Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998), Dostana (2008), Dilwale Dilhania Le Jayenge (1995) , Rab ne Bana di Jodi (2008) and De Dana Dan (2009). Not enough detail? Click on any film and select your favorite scenes. Not long enough? Click auto fill and the computer will grab scenes from other films at random. Woops, it grabbed sad rupee less Jaya Bachchan from Laaga Chunari Mein Daag (2007).Want some songs? Click on Pretty Woman and It's the Time to Disco (don't worry the copy right is paid). Maybe click on the option `A Traditional Big Beautiful Dance' too. Not enough music? Try auto fill again and the computer will write a song (Chale Chalo) that is really cool, but too short, so a few more good songs are added.Be sure and select cameos. Select Rani Mukerji, Kajol, Uday Chopra and Aniata Shroff Adajania (award winning costume designer) who played Sheena, Simran's friend in DDLJ. Be advised, this does not meet the minimum for this menu selection. The program will throw in a few more based on availability.Now for the main actors, select Saif Ali Khan, Preity Zinta and Shahrukh Khan, run in unconstrained mode with auto fill to complete the cast. Under chorography select Farah Khan, standard - energetic - colorful. Now hit run and out pops Kal Ho Naa Ho (2003), a pretty good formula film that Indian movie fans will no doubt love to play over and over again.Of course this review is completely bogus! I included the dates of films mentioned so you could track some of the films that may have influenced Kal Ho Naa Ho and some that may have been influenced by Kal Ho Naa Ho. I highly recommend this quality film based on where it came from and where it went.

A Moving Tearjerker
The acting ensemble was brilliant and had fully fleshed out characterizations that transitioned easily between humor and pathos. This film was right on target within the Bollywood genre of melodramatic musicals. The production numbers evolved seamlessly out of the story's action as extensions of character objectives and immediate circumstances. SRK's ebullience was infectious as always. There is a reason why he is perhaps the most entrancing actor on the planet. He certainly deserves his place in the top 3 most popular actors in the world. I find it interesting and yet odd that some viewers dislike him so much. I'm glad the he is back in action in 2023 with the fabulous film "Pathaan" and look forward to "Jawan" later this year.

Get a box of tissues before you watch this incredible movie
What a great Bollywood movie this is--excellent plot, great acting, wonderful song and dance numbers, and you get to cry at the end. This is the first movie I've seen the famous SRK in, and he steals the show. Now I know why he's as popular as he is.My favorite song and dance number is Pretty Woman. Next comes the title song, which is very beautiful, with profound lyrics, and a haunting melody. I've played these two songs over and over again on the dvd.I don't think I've cried so much during a movie as I did with this one, which shows how incredible SRK's acting ability is. He is totally believable in his character. He made me laugh at his happy-go-lucky, free spirit, and his singing and dancing were wonderful to watch. Then you get to see his sad, melancholy side and your heart just melts.The other characters were very good, too, and altogether, a real family was accurately portrayed, with all of its ups and downs, assets and flaws. I think that's what made this movie so special to me--it was REAL, not fake. Just get your hankies out, or a box of tissues, because you'll need them (which is a good thing!).I highly recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys Bollywood movies and SRK in particular.

Great tear-jerker!
First of all, I bought the blu ray through Amazon and not any of their vendors. It's not listed in the specs but it IS all region and it DOES have English subtitles for any who were wondering and for those of us who haven't mastered the language yet, despite the tons of Bollywood movies we've watched. The quality is excellent, so I'm very pleased and relieved that everything is good. This movie is a great movie if you're in the mood for a tear-jerker. The first time I watched it I hated it, but decided some time later to give it another chance. If you have watched it once before and hated it, you might want to try it again--you might end up liking it. SRK really is very dramatic in this, maybe a little over-the-top, but I love his dramatics. And if you're not an SRK fan don't even bother watching it, because you will probably just be annoyed anyway. Saif Ali Khan and Preity Zinta are good in their roles also. Now that I know what to expect from this movie I love it. The songs are also great and really get you moving.

Kal Ho Naa Ho --------where's my kleenex
Only Bollywood can make me sob for the last hour of the movie and still manage to have a happy ending....I don't know how they manage to do that , but manage they do.PlotI don't need to do a plot synopsis past the basics as there are way better on here than mine. Kal ho Naa Ho means you know what you're getting when you open the package. An expiration date in the next three hours. That's all the time you have left to live laugh and love. Twice. Yes I said twice . If you are our heroine you have managed to live with a dearth of it for the past 20 some odd years. If you're SRk you've been making everybody feel the fullness of it for as long as you've been alive. Before you end this movie you will see that you can love again...at the same time.. when three such special actors ,Zinta, Saif ,and Srk are delivering the goods. You'll have to watch to feel the experience.
