Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna!

10/01/2006

Check out the official movie review at:

http://www.nokjhok.com/2006/08/02/movie-review-kabhi-alvida-na-kehna-kank-kabhi-alvida-naa-kehna/

Now I love Karan Johar. I love all his movies – his movies make me hysterical; they are that bad. I sincerely believe He, along with Sooraj Barjatya and Aditya Chopra are triangularly reponsibile for irreversible effect of sacchirine melodramas thronging Bollywood.

I’ve been eager to watch Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna, Karan Johar’s next offering ever since he’s announced the movie. I am secretly hoping that this is his Alvida to Bollywood forever, though the name doesnt sound so promising.

Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna. Starring, Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Preity Zinta, Abhishek Bachchan, Rani Mukherjee and others.

Now a few days back I heard that KANK is a remake of English movie… “Closer”. Hmmm… Closer – isnt that the movie about extra marital affairs between straight couples? (pssst… I also heard that Karan Johar’s next movie is “Kaha Main Kaha Tu” starring himself and SRK, and inspired by Brokeback Mountain…). Anyways, thats not quite the point of this post. The point of this is to find out what exactly is the story behind Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna!

Now Karan Johar always gets the who’s who and who’s who not of bollywood to act in his movies – for some god damn reasons everyone agrees too. Nonetheless, as I was doing nothing, I decided to look up KANK’s entry in IMDB to get some idea of story line of this movie. Quoted verbatim from IMDB, this is what is the story of KANK according to them:

Jai Varma (Shahrukh Khan) and Shalini Sharma (Rani Mukerji) are married to Sharmila Varma (Urmila Matondkar) and Mohinder Sharma (Amitabh Bachan) respectively. Jai and Sharmila also have a son. Jai and Shalini believe that they are content and happy in their relationships. Until they meet each other. What starts as banter grows into something extraordinary. Their love throws their families into a turmoil.

Interesting. The first line had me in splits:

“Jai Varma and Shalini Sharma are married to Sharmila Varma and Mohinder Sharma respectively.”

I couldnt really read this limerick of a sentence for a while: Jai Varma, Sharmila Sharma, Shalina Sharma, Mohinder Varma… wait thats Sharmila Sharma or Shalini Varma? no, its Shalini Varma and Shalimar.. no Sharlima Sharmila. I have no doubts in my mind that this is a movie about Extra marital affairs. After all who’s who is the big question even before the movie has been shot. Karan Johar couldnt have thought of more creative names could he?

Next:

“Jail and Shailini believe that they are content and happy in their relationships. Until they meet each other”.

& here I thought they were already married to each other!

Oops. No. They are not. Jai is married to Sharmila & Shalini is married to Mohinder You got confused yourself didnt you?

Now, such a story of course has had the die hard fans of KANK in conundrum – aakhir who belongs to whom? and more importantly contrary to everyone’s expectation, what is Urmila Matondkar doing in this movie?! Yes Yes, Urmila. So to find answers to such life changing questions, I decided to read through a thread on the story line of this movie. Now, this forum and its answers are filled with Karan Johar fans who have decided to go all out and leak the story of the movie… as if anyone cared. Nonetheless, now here are some interesting responses in the forum:

Rani is married to Amitabh in this movie? i thoguht she was his daughter. Also ABhishek is Amitabh’s son in this movie too (like in “Sarkar”), so that means Abhishek is Rani’s son?

Hmm… I forgot about the son in the story in the Varma Sharma tangle completely. Who’s Rani? – Sharmila or Shalini? Go figure

It’s wrong. Srk is not married to Urmie. Srk and Preity are lovers in the movie. They are opposite each other.

So SRK is not married to Urmila. This gets interesting. I thought Sharmila and Jai were married. Also Preity Zinta enters the story. Who is Urmila? – Shalini? Sharmila? If SRK and Preity are paired against each other, would that mean, Preity is Sharmila, Mohinder AmitabhBachchan Sharma’s wife? if so, Abhishek if Preity’s son? And Rani is Shalini?

No. Rani is not shalini either. I digged further…

The story-line seems very weird.
No SRK is paired opposite Rani.

Agreed. But I thought Preity ….

Further ahead…

Srk is paired with Rani and Preity…I guess. I read somewhere that he is currently linked with Preity [in the movie] but then there is a flashback how he was with Rani.

Ahhh. That solves the problem. Flashbacks to the rescue! Now we can piece the puzzle together. So SRK is paired with Preity and remembers Rani in flashback. Now Rani is Sharmila (or Shalini, who cares?), AB’s wife. SRK is paired with Rani in flashback meaning, AB was Mohinder back then, and AB and Rani were married. Assuming Preity is Shalini (or Sharmila, who cares?) and married to Mohinder, and Jai and Sharmila are to meet each other poses a problem. But that raises another question – did Jai meet Sharmila in flashback? No. Shalini is not married to Mohinder but Jai. And Sharmila was married to Mohinder – and Jai recalls Sharmila in flashback. And Sharmila and Mohinder have a son.

1 – Where is Urmila in all this?
2 – Exactly how old are these characters anyways if they have to time cross decades to meet each other?

So I digged on….

then who is Urmila?

Good question.

She is srk’s sis and/or maybe Arjun’s lover in the movie.

Urmila is SRK’s sis. Urmila is also Sharmila Sharma. Sharmila is married to Mohinder. Jai falls for Sharmila after they meet? INCEST?! What Karan Johar Upto. And moreover Arjun Rampal comes into picture – he’s in love with Sharmila. But Sharmila is contented with Mohinder until she meets her own brother Jai and falls for him!

No. This was getting a little out of hand….

Hmm … are you sure that SRK is paired with Rani? I remember Karan Johar saying that he got “Veer & Zaara” and “Bunty & Babli” for his movie. That kinda implies that SRK is paired with Preity and Abi is paired with Rani.

Abi is paired with Rani? Rani aka Sharmila Sharma? Abi is AB’s son and Sharmila is AB’s wife. So he is paired with OWN mother??????!

Good heavens…

ok, where the hell does Urmila fit then? I’m sure she’s more than just a supporting character since she’s equally as good as Rani!

That my friend was a very good question. I am guessing Urmila is also Sharmila and Rani is also Sharmila. And Preity is Shalini – that much seems clear at this point. Just when I thought I had it figured….

I really hope he’s paired opposite Preity. That’s also what I heard. That it’s SRK and Preity and Abhishek and Rani. But I guess we’ll just have to wait and see

Abhishek is paired with Rani. SRK is paired with Preity. So Rani = Sharmila and Preity = Shalini, which leaves SRK = Jai and Abhishek = Mohinder. Where did poor Amitabh Bachchan go?!! Uptil this point wasn’t he Mohinder, married to Sharmila? Also Sharmila and Mohinder have a son. Is Amitab Bachchan Abhishek Bachchan’s son? Karan Johar – you are simply marveolous!

I was about to give up at this point when I read these:

“SRK is married to Urmila, Rani is married to Amitabh, and then RANI and SRK fall in love!

I have no idea where Abishek and Preity come into it. “

Oops… Urmila is back.

Does anyone know where does Urmila fit into all this? I had no idea that she was also in the movie. I mean theer were never any announcements regarding her in the movie. There were always talks about how Arjun had replaced John in the movie but there were never any news about Urmila.

At this juncture I gave up when something important caught my eye, which tied the whole puzzle together finally!

one thing u r forgetting buddies …. SRK is doing double role …. JAI and MICHAEL …..

Ahhhh!! Thats it! Thats bloddy it! SRK in double role as Jai and Michael solves the bloddy puzzle! So here’s how it will be in the movie according to my predictions.

Michael is a former avatar of Jai. In his previous birth, he falls in love with Sharmila, aka Urmila. However, their love remains unfulfilled and Sharmila is forced to marry Arjun because Sharmila’s father has a heart attack on Kadva Chaut ki raath. However Sharmila commits suicide and promises Michael to return back to get back with him forever. Michael meanwhile marries another Shalini, aka Preity.

Sharmila takes a rebirth and is reborn as Rani. Rani grows into a lasso and marries Mohinder, 50 years older to her because he’s about to die and leave her a lot of wealth. Unfortunately he doesnt. And they produce a child. Abhishek Bachchan. On Abhishek’s fiance’s Kadva Chauth night, Sharmila remembers Michael again and her very purpose of her existance. Meanwhile, Michael and Shalini also have a child and he’s the double role Jai who’s come to fulfil the prophecy of Michael and Sharmila’s love story. Michael takes a promise from his Son Jai to fulfill his failed love and dies due to heart attack. So Jai and Sharmila rekindle their lost love; however, meanwhile Jai’s mom Shalini falls for Rani Sharmila’s son; But Mohinder Sharmila’s husband takes a fancy to Jai’s mom Preity aka Shalini.

In the end, Jai and Mohinder do mandvaani – aka, adjustment. Mohinder convinces Abhishek Bachchan to take a rebirth and fulfil his prophecy and he finally marries someone his age – Shalini. Sharmila though quite a mother to Jai now, doesnt care, because Jai likes ‘em old anyways. Hence everyone lives happily ever after, and Abhishek Bachchan gives a longing look to Shalini before committing suicide. His last words to her are “Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna!“. The same words Michael told Sharmila in previous birth.

The cycle of life is completed. Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna is completed!

Sigh – so simple! And here was I ransacking by brain to solve such a simple story. Pah!

I am terribly excited about this movie.

20/01/2006Ravi say:

Full credit to KJ! First he convinces half of bollywood to act in the movie. Then with so many big stars & the need to give all of them lead roles, he has to come up with an appropriate story. What better than a one with multiple relations transcending lives.

But seriously, such a story should not be handled by the likes of KJ. We need someone like Hrishikesh Mukherji to add fuel to the confusion. This is a pure comedy. Making a serious movie out of this script is just wrong.

@Rashmi – mmh – Silsila – I think it could very well be – I didnt think of that!! And Good!! thanks a lot for posting a copy, I will be on a lookout for it

hey supremus. urmila is not in this movie. i have attended some of the shoots of this film in nyc and new jersey and urmila was nowhere to be soon. no official source has stated that urmila is in this movie(not even the dharma production website). only imdb has posted this information about urmila being in the film. however, i may be wrong and maybe she shot for a small bit in this movie that was shot in mumbai and she didnt have to come to the states at all. but i highly doubt it because no mention has been made of her by the director or any of the other actors in this film.
25/01/2006kanker say:

I think it was quite easy to understand the story.it is clearly written that the names are jai verma,shalini sharma,sharmila verma and mohinder sharma.So don’t use your mind which you don’t have and relax.
the last thing is that karan johar is one of the most creative and superb directors.

@kanky – thank you for the clarification. I also think Urmila is not there. BTW, this whole piece was written in jest. So no seriousness here hehe

28/04/2006Bomboy say:

I saw SRK, rani and Karan Johar in Connecticut shooting the movie. didn’t get a chance to get a picture with srk, but many people did. people were lined up for hours and im not talk just desis.

There’s a scene in a football stadium, srk playes soccer with some local soccer players. and one with him and rani at the New Haven train station. I think they didn’t get the approval to shoot at the Grand Central station in NY and had to contend with New Haven.

Hopefully it turns out to be a better movie than the one you have predicted. Although you should pass your ideas to Karan Johar.
4/05/2006Mithun say:

Well, to make things straight Urmila is not in KANK. Yes, its about extra marital affair between SRK and Rani. And no doubt its a film we r eagerly waiting. And it will be over on 11th august 2006.

This story sounds more like Ekta Kapoor’s serial.
6/05/2006syam say:

the story of Shahrukh’s next movie “KABHI
ALVIDA NA KEHNA..”

From the very beginning, girl’s family objected strongly on her dating this
guy, saying that it has got to do with family background, & that the girl
will have to suffer for the rest of her life if she were to be with him.

Due to family’s pressure, the couple quarreled very often. Though the girl
loved the guy deeply, she always asked him: “How deep is your love for me?”
As the guy is not good with his words, this often caused the girl to be very
upset. With that & the family’s pressure, the girl often vents her anger on
him. As for him, he only endured it in silence.

After a couple of years, the guy finally graduated & decided to further his
studies overseas. Before leaving, he proposed to the girl:

“I’m not very good with words. But all I know is that I love you. If you
allow me, I will take care of you for the rest of my life. As
for your family, I’ll try my best to talk them round. Will you marry me?”
The girl agreed, & with the guy’s determination, the family finally gave in
& agreed to let them get married. So before he left, they got engaged. The
girl went out to the working society, whereas the guy was overseas,
continuing his studies. They sent their love through emails & phone calls.
Though it was hard, but both never thought of giving up.

One day, while the girl was on her way to work, she was knocked down by a
car that lost control. when she woke up, she saw her parents
beside her bed. She realized that she was badly injured. Seeing her mum
crying, she wanted to comfort her. But she realized that all
that could come out of her mouth was just a sigh. she had lost her voice….

The doctor says that the impact on her brain has caused her to lose her
voice. Listening to her parents’ comfort, but with nothing
coming out from her, she broke down. During the stay in hospital, besides
silence cry,..it’s still just silence cry that accompanied her.
Upon reaching home, everything seems to be the same. Except for the ringing
tone of the phone. Which pierced into her heart every time it rang. She does
not wish to let the guy know & not wanting to be a burden to him, she wrote
a letter to him saying that she does not wish to wait any longer.

With that, she sent the ring back to him. In return, the guy sent millions &
millions of reply, countless of phonecalls,.. all the
girl could do, besides crying, is still crying…. The parents decided to
move away, hoping that she could eventually forget everything & be happy.

With a new environment, the girl learns sign language & started a new life.
Telling herself everyday that she must forget the guy. One
day, her friend came & told her that he’s back. She asked her friend not to
let him know what happened to her. Since then, there wasn’t anymore news of
him.

A year has passed & her friend came with an envelope, containing a
invitation card for the guy’s wedding. The girl was shattered. When
she open the letter, she saw her name in it instead. When she was about to
ask her friend what’s going on, she saw the guy standing
in front of her.

He used sign language to tell her “I’ve spent a year to learn sign language.
Just to let you know that I’ve not forgotten our promise.
Let me have the chance to be your voice. I Love You.” With that, he slipped
the ring back into her finger. The girl finally smiled.

Oh, how I’d like to see someone start a hunger strike to get all Karan johar, Adita Chopra, Sooraj Barjatya and Subhash Ghai movies banned (though Ghai has supported good flms like Iqbal, he himself still makes same kind of shit). Heck, if no one does it, I am gonna do it myself. I hope you all will support me !

Look guys here’s the real plot:

-Avoiding screen names:

SRK and Rani were lovers and parted ways. SRK got married to Urmila. Rani married Abhi. now that leaves Preity and Arjun and Amitabh..right…so let me guess…SRK and Rani affairs starts. So logically, Urmila and Abhi will be FREE by the end…so they got to have something…or someone…and Abhi should get a big heroine after all…so he jumps on with Preity (Lucky guy, first Rani then Preity..wow)…actually SRK is luckier (first Urmila and Rani)…and Urmila settles for Arjun…hmmmm..hot bodies….so that leaves Amitabh..actually KajoL and John are doing cameo…but they make a pair anyway…but Amitabh Uncle is still alone…Can Jaya-aunty or HemaJI play a cameo…Karan..you can do it boy…still in post-production…But just in case Amitabh plays Rani’s husband where will that leave SRK and Abhi….or….whats the point in having Preity and Urmila…(here we go again)…!!!!
30/05/2006shah rukh khan say:

hi guys am shah rukh khan…….i hate this movie….plz dont watch it cause karan din’t give me enough money…..so plz don’t watch the movie…..go n watch aatma…i am promoting it….or alag…..my friend chintu special appearance…..srk…
30/05/2006angel say:

u guys are sick. there is NO urmila and nor marriage between amithab and rani. it’s just SRK-Preity and ABHI-Rani case. just wait and watch this is gonna be the biggest hit of the year and u ll have to eat ur words.

7/06/2006Ruhin say:

While I agree with you in that Karan Johar’s movies are ridiculous for the most part, I fear you’re missing the point here – you’re getting your info from IMDB COMMENTS , for God’s sake! These comments are caricatures in themselves, have no connection to reality and are made by stupid, bored people who have nothing better to do than concoct strange stories regarding the upcoming Karan Johar/SRK film. Make fun of the comments, by all means, but they can hardly be used in connection with the actual movie. For that, there is plenty of material in KJ’s older movies (*cough* K3G *cough*).
By the by, I am actually looking forward to KANK, though my enthusiasm was somewhat dampened on learning that the story and screenplay have been written by the same woman who wrote them for Fanaa. Still KJ’s movies always have entertainment value, even if it’s not in the way he meant.

Suyog,
Although I have never met you (nor do I have any intentions), I do think I have some ideas about the kind of person you are:
1. You really have NO LIFE!!
2. You are someone who loves to comment on others, but have no impressive credentials of your own.
3. You are a bloody bigot and should say alvida to the civilized world soon.

15/06/2006Greatbong say:

Suyog,

Read this gem. And though I am in a state of utter confusion, the cadence of that Jai Varma and Shalini Sharma will stay with me for a long time. And of course, the comment from Sanaa (No 74)—-I hope to see her on RTDM soon.

From the trailers, it seemed to be like “Closer”—the sets and the way the dialogues were spoken just seemed very similar. Of course the story may be different….
16/06/2006Sarah say:

OK!

everybody u got it all wrong i’ll tell u…
there NO URMILA!!!
yes srk is married to preity and yes i do think they have a kid
NO rani is not married to amitabh but shes married to ABHISHEK
and no srk is not in a double role there is only one of him
and vim dont worry because kirron kher is in the film too so she mite go with amitabhji
17/06/2006Supremus say:

@greatbong: Thanks for stopping by buddy – hehehe – I like this #74 commentor myself. Obviously I have no life as she says hehehe!

@Sarah: whatever you say, SRK is married to Abhishek

18/07/2006Lovely say:

I am not sure who the writer of this is, but I think it is singularly the most asinine piece of drivel that I have ever read. Even to write a tongue-in-cheek piece, one needs to do a little reasearch and get the facts right. Clearly the writer has not done any preparatory work. Besides, the article has not an iota of wit, irony, or humour. I would strongly advise this writer to brush up creative writing skills.

I applaud those in this audience who have actually had the fortitude to read the whole thing. I had a whole afternoon off with no work and I could not go through more than one paragraph in detail!

21/07/2006Sonali say:

Hey!!!:)
After listenin to the song Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna, i don’t think this movie is going to be superhit cuz i know it’s gonna be super hit. There is no doubt. Karan Johar is the best. His movies always goes hit. There is always SRK in it. I think the ending should be that SRK and Rani marry each other since they make a perfect pair in the film indusatry. And Abhishek and Priety can marry each other. Well i m looking forward to the best movie this year which is Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna:D (L) The only thing i would say is that
All The Best–Karan Johar!!!

Suyog

What a post. I was eagerly waiting for this movie and after reading your post my interest in this movie has increased by leaps and bounds. My fingers are itching to write a review on KANK. It’s been a long time since i have ripped off a movie. But what if the movie really turns out to be good?. Wishful thinking?

Amitabh has written a letter to Karan Johar praising the movie (another letter to SRK praising his performance). Fair enough. But why inform the media about this personal letter. This is PR work by AB at its worst.

The posters of KANK could be mistaken as an ad. for a fashion house/apparels.

12/08/2006Desi Movie Fan say:

Watched the movie yesterday. As usual Amitabh rules . Abhishekh has also done very well ( Very natural acting ) .Preity and Rani are great. The story is absolutely rubbish .There are only few distinct dialogues , others are only repetitions. The first 30Mins is like a breeze of fresh air … and till the intermission the story is just ok , I think mr karan johar could have limited the movie till the first half . The second half is absolutely unbearable.
The most important thing is its time shahrukh should retire.
12/08/2006Saher say:

Absolutely RUBBISH movie…

Please do not waste your time and money on this stupid movie.

Wish I would have read it before I saw the movie.
Karan has really disappointed this time. How can he even think of a pathetic story like this. What he wanted to prove by this. I think Karan you need a long break, I thought u were growing up.. but guess u are stil a kid.

Whoever u may be , but i am sorry to say that u need to broaden ur mental horizon n see the movie again n try to be more positive in approach. U will find the movie to an extreme thought-provoking n help u to understand that parallel lines may meet to a distant point . bye n take care
24/08/2006Janki say:

In order to see this movie, you have to be open-minded. Just like if u went to see Brokeback Mountain. You need a more open view of things…how things can turn out and such. I think as the generations go on, the more open-minded people become.

But anyway, good movie.
