Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa Review

Kabhi Haa Kabhi Naa is a film co-written and directed by Kundan Shah. I saw this film because many people recommended to me that it is a good film. And yes it is. No because of SRK. But because of the way the story is written.

Plot: Sunil Falls in love with Anna. But Anna loves Chris. So who will Ann's be? Story and Direction: At first the story looked to me as a romantic comedy. No, but it has some elements of drama too. It is mostly centered around Sunil and his love for Anna. It is very beautifully shown that how he cares for Anna. Then we have Chris who too loves and cares for Anna.But still I feel for the Sunil character. The supporting characters like Father Briganza, Don Anthony, Sunil's band, etc... are all etched out very nicely . I never felt a dull moment in the film. Even those who feel for Sunil, there is a surprise package in the last scene. For which all credibility goes to Kundan Shah.

Performances: Shah Rukh Khan does an excellent job as Sunil. He impressed me quite a lot. Deepak Tijori was also great. I didn't expect him to do that good. Suchitra Krishnamoorthy as the heroine was OK. (But since the film was about Sunil more so I could actually forgive that). Naseeruddin Shah was in quite a different role that showed how versatile an actor he is. Even Goga Kapoor stepped out of his villainous role (known for Raavan character), which was commendable. The rest of the supporting actors also fitted the bill perfectly.

Music: Jatin-Lalit has composed the music. and they have done a wonderful job. 'Deewana Main Deewana' and 'Woh to Hai Albela' were some of my favorites. Even the background score (maybe done by the same music duo) was also great. I got a little disappointed in the song 'Sachi Yeh Kahani Hai' because it was a straight rip off of the Boney M song 'Ma Baker'. Even the lyrics too sounded the same.

Favorite scene: I guess it would be the very first one. It was a comedy of errors and a nice dream sequence.

Verdict: I enjoyed this film a lot. One number would be lessened from my side, as of the song I mentioned before and Suchitra Krishnamoorthy too.

I would give the film a 9/10.
