And such a finale was expected to meet with a mixed response. It was quite bold of Johar to end his film on this note, with Dev and Maya bidding a heart-breaking goodbye to Riya and Rishi and embracing their love for each other. But unlike most of the other Hindi films, KANK remains one of those rare examples of a film dealing with the issue of extra-marital relationships where the husband and the wife do not reunite in the end. When Dev and Maya meet, they realize they are drawn to each other as they both are trapped in failed marriages, and they both are thwarted by guilt in the end as they are the ones who have wronged their partners. Her marriage is a victim of her indifference and callousness. On the other hand is Maya (Rani Mukerji), who agrees to marry her childhood friend Rishi (Abhishek Bachchan) as she’s indebted to his family for treating her as their own after her parents’ death.

A tragic accident that abruptly ends his thunderous football career has left him infuriated and his wife’s constantly rising success and popularity has made him insecure. Dev (Shah Rukh Khan) can’t muster up the courage to admit his marriage with his wife Riya (Preity Zinta) is on the rocks. Watch the trailer of Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna, one of Karan Johars Best Work it date, Starring ShahRukh Khan, Preity Zinta, Rani Mukherji, Abhishek Bachchan. It was a film that depicted the life of two married couples. Student Of The Year ends with a montage of Sidharth Malhotra and Varun Dhawan finally brushing aside their enmities and embracing friendship, but how many felt for the dean of their college, Yogendra Vashishth?Īnd we don’t think anyone can forget the heart-breaking climax of his last directorial Ae Dil Hai Mushkil!

If you see his directorial debut, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, we all were elated when Rahul and Anjali united after eight years, but did anyone bother to even peep inside the broken heart of poor Aman? Except for Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham and My Name Is Khan, all his films have unhappy endings. Johar seems to have been hurt in love in his earlier days. Karan Johar’s Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna could be described as a bold film, despite the mixed reactions it garnered upon the time of its release.
#MOVIE KABHI ALVIDA NAA KEHNA MOVIE#
I had reservations about this movie at first because most of the reviews I saw were more focused on the star cast and NYC location than the substance of the movie. Its very much different from the conventional Bollywood cinema. But bold, in Cinema’s language, would suggest something never explored before on the celluloid or exploring something unexpected. Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (KANK) is quite a thought provoking movie.

We often misinterpret the meaning of the word bold with erotica or nudity within the cinematic spectrum. Never say goodbye), also abbreviated as KANK, is a 2006 Indian Hindi-language musical romantic drama film written and directed by Karan Johar and produced by his mother Hiroo Yash Johar, in her debut, under the Dharma Productions banner.
