Shahrukh Khan is not where he is today without a reason. He is one of the most natural and talented actors Indian cinema has seen. Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa is a true example of his ability to create a character so simple yet so memorable. Though such films do not always work out commercially for him, Khan is always at his very best in roles like this, where he plays the ordinary and simple middle-class guys, who are romantic and witty, generous and lighthearted, vulnerable and yet ever so optimistic. That's what represents Sunil, a character so real and so easy to relate to. He badly loves a girl who does not love him the way he would want her to, he is an average student, and most of his efforts to find romance are unsuccessful. Sunil is partly a comic, partly a tragic character, and Khan injects it with so much energy, realism and passion that you don't really feel it is an actor playing a part. That's what makes this character unforgettable and this performance an all-time great.

Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa is actually about what life is. Sometimes you get something, sometimes you don't; sometimes it hurts, but in the end, you learn to come to terms with it. Kundan Shah's direction is outstanding. He brilliantly portrays all the aspects of Sunil's life, if it's his relationships, his love, his hope or despair. The dialogues are well-written and the film is realistic throughout. The music is beautiful and all the songs are absolutely spot on. Though the film belongs to Shahrukh Khan, the entire supporting cast is fantastic, and every actor, from the pretty Suchitra Krishnamoorthi to the ever-great Naseeruddin Shah, does a fine job. Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa is surely an underrated gem. It is a film that will at least partly remind one of oneself and generally has bits every person can relate to. It is a film that I can watch over and over again, and still be excited, saddened and encouraged. It is a film that teaches you how to look at life differently, how to take things as they come and despite the pain, be able to recover with a smile.

Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa is the story of Sunil (Shahrukh Khan), the girl he loves, Anna (Suchitra Krishnamurty) and the guy she loves, Chris (Deepak Tijori). Sunil, realizing the budding relationship between Anna and Chris decides to take things into his own hands by trying to create rifts between the two and taking advantage of the situations to woo Anna himself. Supporting these three are Sunil's family, his musical friends (look a little closer and you'll see Ashutosh Gowarikar among them) and also the local Father (Naseeruddin Shah) who acts as Sunil's mentor.

This may sound like a very simple and typical love triangle, which it is. What makes it different is Sunil. His character is one that is rarely seen in Indian cinema, yet not unfamiliar to us because we've met hundreds of Sunils in our lifetime. We ourselves might be a Sunil. He is that real. He has no great physical strength (Shahrukh in 93? puny!), or great intelligence (he failed the same class several times)or great wealth (his father is a mechanic). He is a regular Joe trying to get the girl he loves.

Sunil happens to be Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa's greatest asset. We see everything and everyone through his eyes which makes his world real to us. The things he does are things we might do when in love. What he ultimately does in the end might reflect on who many of us really are on the inside: simple people who love their family and friends.

A lot of people believe Shahrukh Khan became an actor with Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaayenge in '95. The truth is that he was well on his way to becoming a legend in Indian cinema with this movie. He IS Sunil. He breathes life into the role making it much more than just a character in a story, he brings Sunil to life, he brings Sunil to us. He is brilliant. Just watch the film.

of all shahrukh khan movies this is by far the best. the story itself is not original, but the ambiance that it creates is definitely distinct from any other movie. it is truly a shame that people did not enjoy shahrukh khans best performance to date. unlike all of the other characters he portrays in his movies you can make a connection to one he plays in this one. funny how people love it when shahrukh over acts and dont recognize true art when they see it. it is very discouraging to see films like this one not doing well with the main stream audience. it means that the film-makers will go back to their "formula" movies.

the songs of this movie were really spell binding. the music was a throw back to the 70's kishore kumar era, with a touch of its own uniqueness. kumar sanu voice sounds really great, and comparable to kishore's voice. all in all, the comedy, the drama, the music, and the surprise ending make this movie really exceptional.

There are only very few actors who can play the ordinary man with extraordinary talent and skills. Shahrukh Khan is one such actor. While he is more known for his larger than life films (such as 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge', 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai', 'Devdas' etc) it is in roles such as Sunil, Raju (of 'Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman') or Rahul (of 'Yes Boss') that I prefer him most. 'Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa' is one of his greatest achievements and among his most underrated films. He beautifully brings Sunil to life and had I not been aware that I was watching a movie, I wouldn't have known that Khan was acting.

For me, Sunil is one of the most unique and memorable characters in Hindi cinema yet he is so easily recognizable. He's not the son of a millionaire, not an A-grade student, not popular with women. He's vibrant. He's talented. He's carefree. He lies. He IS just a regular guy. One that you must have known sometime somewhere. I see a lot of myself in Sunil. His despair for Anna's love, his passion for music, his indifference towards his academic failure, have all been displayed with gusto by Mr. Khan.

Kundan Shah's direction is outstanding. He keeps everything including execution, story, props and setting, simple and that's what makes 'Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa' so easy to relate to. His portrayal of Sunil's relationships with the people in his life that includes his family, his band members, the girl he loves, a priest and his boss is very real and down to earth. Thankfully, nothing is sugarcoated. Shah stays focused and does it all with a very subtle approach. Even the brother sister relationship which was given very little screen time, flourishes beautifully on screen and, in my opinion, it is one of the best depiction of a sibling relationship.

The background score flows very well with the film and the songs are great. My favourites include the ballad 'Sachchi Yeh Kahani Hai' and the soulful 'Ae Kaash Ke Hum', both of which have been beautifully visualized. Actually all the songs are nicely picturized including the funny 'Kyun Na Hum' and 'Anna Mere Pyar', the sad 'Woh To Hai Albela' and the romantic 'Deewana Dil Deewana'.

Though 'Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa' is Shahrukh Khan's film, most of the supporting cast is very effective. Naseeruddin Shah as the priest/Sunil's confidant is totally awesome. Tiku Talsania and Goga Kapoor are hilarious. Of Sunil's friend Kurush Deboo stands out. However, Suchitra Krishnamurty and Deepak Tijori are merely okay.

In a nutshell, 'Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa' is one of my all-time favourite films. It's one of the rarest of its kind, truly a gem of a movie.

Best Shahrukh Khan movie (swades follows closely) till date. This movie was shot during his pre-Baazigar days and you can see rawness in his acting. Even Shahrukh admits that this is his best film. He played the role of Sunil to a T. Though the character had negative shades it was loved by all. It was also Kundan's Hindi film after a long time (the first being Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron). He brought many actors of Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron like Naseer, Satish Shah, Ravi Baswani into this film. The songs were also amazing. Among the best Jatin Lalit albums. Songs like Ae Kaash Ke Hum, Deewana Dil Deewana are still remembered for its freshness.

The movie was released at the time when SRK had begun his steps towards stardom. This is by far his best performance to date. The story is very simple and entertaining. Kundan Shah does a good job in direction. A simple love triangle melded with hummable numbers and some comedy makes the movie superb.

The support cast have done proper justice to their job. Whether it's Deepak or Naseerudin or Anjan or Ashutosh. But the charm of the movie is the débutante Suchitra who plays her role of Ana as beautifully as she is in looks.

And above all, SRK with his lifetime best role. Critics of SRK should watch this movie as SRK gives a Baadshah performance even though he plays the role of a simple Town guy. His act as Sunil, so simple but yet so convincing. One feels as SRK is playing their role, when he talks, when he fancies Ana, when he laughs and even when he cries. It all seems so natural. My rating - 9/10

Shah Rukh Khan has mentioned in a interview (Koffee with Karan), his Best movie he made is Kabhie Haan Kabhie Naa. I Believe this is a great Movie, not his Best, but completely underrated. For the first time in Bollywood, i finally saw a change, a movie about a guy who loves the girl dearly, but has to realise she loves someone else, but he is not ready to accept this. The movie is very heart warming and light hearted with a mix of comedy and romance. Shah Rukh Khan delivers a Fantastic Performance of his career. This movie ranks among His Greatest Movies. Others include Dilwale Dulhania Lejayenge (Being the Best), Kabhie Khushi Kabhie Gham, Kuch Kuch hota hai, Baazigar, Chaahat, Darr, Anjaam, Kal ho na ho etc. Deepak Tijori suits in a small role as usual like in Sadak, Jo jeeta wohi Sikandar and Khiladi. The actress is unknown and long forgotten. The movie is a Big Time entertainer..

Missing out this movie is like missing to pick a diamond among other polished/cut crystals. It is a very special film. Rare coming together of several veteran actors and creative people. Its a rare mix of unusual flavors.

Kundan Shah's previous film 'Jaane bhi do yaaron' is considered one of the best comedies made in Hindi films. And then this happened.

I think no one on earth can do this character better than Shahrukh. This role is meant for Shahrukh, I don't think the greatest of actors could have played it better.

The thing I like about this, it has several scenes which on the surface appear funny.. but kind of captures rare moments that everyone can relate too..

Like Sunil fidgeting about the exam results, like feeling guilty while facing the consequences of a lie, like Sunil fumbling to express his love for Anna to her parents, like moments of jealously when Sunil realizes that he is losing his girl to an apparently better looking friend, like trying desperately correct a situation that has gone all wrong ...

Its impossible to not 'feel' for the character, while on the surface its the usual flamboyant Shahrukh playing it.. I end of watching it with a smile on the face while strong feeling connected to what is happening on screen.

It captures heartache and pangs of jealously beautifully, not the dramatic in exaggerated way made with an intent to make you cry. I guess some people do not relate to the movie because they do not have a Sunil inside them - the average, bumbling, problem kid who always messes up and wishes things weren't the way they are...

Being such huge fans of 'Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron' I still remember the excitement when we (some friends and I) went to watch this movie. It was after a gap of 10 years that Kundan Shah had come out with a movie and we couldn't wait to watch it. Though we found 'Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naan' to be OK but were disappointed as it was nothing like 'Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron'. But I give credit to Kundan Shah for his judgment on not trying to repeat 'Jaane Bhi Do Yaron' again because it is difficult to recreate magic.

Caught 'Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naan' on cable couple of years later and since this time I knew what to expect, I quite enjoyed the film. I watched it again and this time I enjoyed it more. That's the thing about this movie; it grows on you. It's like a friendly face in the neighborhood that the more you see the more you like. Now I consider this as one of my favorite movies that I can watch from any point and enjoy it.

It's the story of youth with all its elements; the unrequited love, the ambition to do something different, the generation gap etc. But it is the characters and situations that are so real and so delightful that you can identify with most of them from your own personal life. The humor is subtle and will make you smile and at the most chuckle. Performance wise everyone does a fine job. Jatin Lalit's music is melodious and pleasant, but I must admit that I have a bias against Kumar Sanu's voice so I would have preferred someone else to sing the songs.

You'll hear it once and obviously you know why this is not just mine but Shahrukh khan's favourite movie (no it's not because he's in it, even though he makes it look good) and here is why.

Sunil (Shahrukh Khan) is a musician yet a failure at life as he never passes his grades and usually lies. His father labels him as good for nothing. Among Sunil's friends-cum-band members Chris (Deepak Tijori), Imran (Ashutosh Gowariker), Tony (Aditya Lakhia) and Yezdi (Kurush Deboo), Sunil is in love with Anna (Suchitra Krishnamurthy) for a very long time and always dream to tell his feelings towards her and marry her. However, Anna is in love with Chris as Chris is in love with Anna. Whenever the two get closer, Sunil is in despair and causes tensions between them just so they can separate. He also seeks help from Father Braganza (Naseeruddin Shah), Anthony (Goga Kapoor), Patel (Tiku Talsania) and his sister. However, sometimes it leads to him depression of envy as he wishes he could be like Chris (being wealthy and rich)

May be a typical story however what makes it so interesting is Sunil. He's not wealthy, doesn't possess much money, never passes his grades, his passion for music and his love for Anna. You relate a lot of people like Sunil as you come across life. I relate myself with Sunil as well as most people. This is not your average "boy-conquers-the- world", chivalrousness related, and your typical "falling in love and getting married in the end" type of movie. This movie explains a lot of realism and true concepts of people as it is still known nowadays. Hats off to Kundan Shah for bringing real life of people in a movie so excellently directed.

Direction by Kundan Shah is just excellent as well as the story and screenplay. However let's not forget the performances.

Deepak Tijori is likable as Chris as he portrays his character excellently. Suchitra Krishnamurty is beautiful as Anna and really shows her performance brilliant. Naseeruddin Shah is great! The rest of the cast is simply amazing including Ashutosh Gowariker.

But this movie belongs to Shahrukh Khan. Who else could perform Sunil than the King Khan himself? His physique, his expressions and dialogues really brought the realism in the movie.

Music is just amazing as well! Ae Kaash and Deewana are the best songs in my opinion. The rest are worth listening too.

Overall, best SRK movie and do not miss it!

I like the story concept - basically it's one sided love. And I like the acting especially SRK is awesome! What I don't like is the ending. Too rush!

Some movies never age, time does not cast a patina of dullness on them. Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa is one such film. The story is so simple you cannot describe what it is all about. Yet the emotions the movie invokes are so profound it turns into a huge deal. Sunil (Shahrukh Khan) is a college kid with only two desires - that he win the love of Anna (Suchitra Krishnamurthy) and that he become a successful musician. Anna love Chris (Deepak Tijori) who is a fellow band member. BTW - do not forget to watch out for Imran (Ashutosh Gowarikar), one of the other band members! Sunil makes every attempt to win Anna, some attempts are above board, others are less than ethical. Father Briganza (Naseeruddin Shah) is his compass and keeps trying to set him back on the right path. Does Sunil succeed in winning his heart's desire? Does he remain an immature young man or does he complete his journey into manhood? Can and should every human being be judged by the same yardstick? The movie answers these questions while providing us with valuable lessons about life...

Shahrukh is astounding in the role of Sunil. If you do not see yourself in Sunil then you will certainly see a friend or sibling. He is childish, spoilt, loving, mature, conniving, naive, generous, vulnerable, tragic - he runs the gamut of emotions one experienced in the yo-yo phase of youth and you feel for Sunil and identify with him at every turn. This is clearly one of the defining roles in the career of an actor who is now a mega-star. Suchitra does a fine job as the bubbly Anna, Deepak Tijori is good as the other guy, Naseer Shah is brilliant - but do we expect any less? However, this film belongs to Shahrukh and according to him remains one of his most favorite roles.

Jatin Lalit provide excellent music that grows on you quietly. Deewana Dil Deewana, Kyun Na Ham Mil Ke Pyara Kare, Anna Tere Pyar Ko, Sacchi Yeh Kahani Hai Sun Lo Meri Jaan, Woh To Hai Albela are all very pleasing numbers, but THE song of the film is Ai Kash Ke Hum Hosh Mein Aane Na Paayen. It is exquisite in composition, execution, and in the emotions expressed by the lead pair.

Kundan Shah directs with a deft hand and produces a film that will tug at your heartstrings and remind you of that age of angst we all go through when life is beautiful yet every moment could be an extreme of emotions - extreme joy, extreme pain.

This movie is a keeper and worth many a repeat watch.

According to IMDB, Shah Rukh Khan reportedly said that this was his favorite film in which he acted. I am sure much of it was because he was young and this film helped to make him a breakout star. But when you watch it today, it's obvious he made many, many better and more timeless films.

"Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa" is a romantic comedy where Khan plays a VERY different sort of character. Instead of being his usual suave and self-assured character, here he's a bit of a goofball...VERY clumsy and not especially confident nor bright.

The story concerns Sunil (Khan) and his unrequited love for Anna (Suchitra Krishnamoorthi). This mostly seemed to be because he adores her but is afraid to tell her. But he also is a weasel as he works hard to keep his friend and bandmate from romancing Anna. He's not much of a friend. When this ruse is discovered, it tears the band apart....and they kick him out of the group. Now, friendless, you wonder if Sunil has any chance at a happy ending.

The style is pure 1990s comedy. When I sat that, I mean it has the usual cliches (such as people tripping or having accidents because it's wacky) and the music is very much like 1990s Indian music...with that tinny, canned sound that disappeared by 2000. In other words, the film lacks the sophistication and excellent technical qualities that later made Indian films the equal to Hollywood's in quality. I am not a fan of these earlier broad comedies....and it's probably since I am an American and never grew up with this style film. Instead, I didn't start watching Indian flicks until about 2000....and I really came to have high expectations for the country's films.

So is it worth seeing? Perhaps....especially if you love these older style comedies. But for folks not familiar with the country's films or Shah Rukh Khan, I suggest you instead try some of his newer films first. Now I noticed that most of the reviewers adored it...and I know I am the oddball here. Chances are they grew up with this style film and it really appealed to them....which is certainly understandable. I just found it a bit underwhelming...especially when I think of SRK in such brilliant films as "My Name is Khan", "Hey Ram", "Billu" or "Om Shanti Om" (among others).

I have watched this movie over 20 times. But i don't think that it's a GREAT movie. It's just a fairly good movie. Simple, to the point, slightly comedic, slightly romantic, slightly heart-warming. But I have watched it over 20 times. The reason is Shahrukh Khan.

This was Shahrukh before Baazigar, before Darr and more importantly, before DDLJ. This was Shahrukh Khan raw. This was him before the audiences found him lovable and adored him. This was him before he was able to floor girls with just a look and a smile. This was SRK before he became a star.

As said by another reader, SRK breathes life into the character of Sunil. Sunil is a guy we all know, we all are. He is the common man. He has weaknesses, he isn't rich, or particularly handsome and he's sometimes willing to go the wrong way to achieve something.

The movie is filled with ridiculous situations (the Chinese theme bar!!!) and characters (Anthony Gomez) but SRK fights it all and shines through. I recommend this movie to all people who watch SRK today and say that he keeps doing the same kind of roles. It is a brilliant performance.

First goes to Swades..

Okay my review is too short, but you get the point

Shah Rukh Khan became an artist in this movie as he reached the pinnacle of his field with his sheer talent and acting prowess. I think there cannot be a greater achievement in the career of a true artist. But somewhere along the way (after he ganged up with the Chopras and the Johars), Shah Rukh lost the artist in him and he now remains just a personality.

"Kabhi Haan Kabhi Na" reminds me how I loved Shah Rukh once upon a time. It seems so far ago back now. As Sunil in KHKN, he was simply amazing. You laugh, you cry, you cheer for him and you get upset at his follies. But you know he is true at heart and this is what is reflected throughout the movie too, it is truly a heartfelt effort. The simple story with beautiful Goa as a background was so splendid, it felt like we were actually looking into the lives of real people.

Kudos to Kundan Shah. An ACE again after "Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron". But he seems to have vanished again. Come back Shah Rukh, come back Kundan, let's see the magic again!

All in all an entertaining film, while not so complex that subtitles are needed for those not overly proficient in Hindi. SRK is in his blustery talk-his-way-out-of-everything mood here, chasing after an Anna who looks 14 and is entirely silly -- her playback singer isn't all that great. The rivalry between him and Chris is actually well done and sincere-sounding, a rarity for Bollywood. Kind of throws you off that Udit Narayan's singing for Chris in this movie, if you've gotten used to thinking of that as SRK's voice. Father Braganza is a great character, showing interreligious cameraderie and not set up as a comedic figure (unlike Catholic priests in several other movies, both Indian and American). Goa's beauty shines through the whole thing and makes any story seem believable, even this one.

From the very start, Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa positions itself as an underdog romance. Sunil (Shah Rukh Khan) is messy, insecure, and flawed - but his relentless passion for Anna makes you believe he might just win her in the end.

The film invests us in his longing, his small victories, and his struggles against Chris. Every lie he tells, every plan he hatches - while frustrating - keeps you hooked because you expect him to learn, grow, and eventually be rewarded with the one thing his heart beats for: Anna's love.

The entire narrative feels designed to build toward that payoff. We watch Sunil humiliate himself, try too hard, fall, rise, and fall again. Naturally, as viewers, we root for him to finally shed his childish lies, confess sincerely, and get the girl.

But instead of this emotional reward, the film abruptly flips. Anna marries Chris, Sunil smiles through heartbreak, and then - as if to "make it okay" - a random girl shows up at the end as his supposed consolation prize.

This ending is not bittersweet; it's hollow. It erases all the investment the audience made in Sunil's struggle. After watching him pour his soul into winning Anna, what we get is a shrug and a last-minute distraction, almost as if the writers didn't know how to resolve his arc.

Broken Promise of Storytelling: The film trains you to believe in Sunil's journey, only to pull the rug at the last moment.

Anna's Role Feels Passive: Instead of making a bold choice between Chris and Sunil, she is reduced to a prize handed over to Chris without any depth.

The "Replacement Girl" Ending: Instead of giving Sunil growth or closure, the film throws in a random new love interest. It feels lazy, almost insulting.

If Sunil had finally confessed truthfully and Anna chose him, the story would have felt like a complete arc of redemption. It would have rewarded his emotional vulnerability and made his lies, mistakes, and suffering feel worthwhile.

Even if Anna rejected him, a more grounded, bittersweet ending (without the consolation-girl cop-out) would have been more powerful than the awkward finale we got.

Watched SHAH RUKH KHAN's, the King of Bollywood's, the King of Acting, the Badshah of Bollywood's favorite Kabhi Haa Kabhi Naa .. SHAH RUKH KHAN lives life in to the role of Sunil.. the role was just meant for him to be honest..

i wish i would have words to describe how AMAZING he acted in the movie, i don't think i have ever seen any beautiful character, Acting than this... as much as we thank SRK for such movie that will be less i feel, he was out of the world as a Sunil..

To be honest even we have to agree that KHKN is the cutest, bestest movie ever i've made in Bollywood actually in this world..

SHAH RUKH KHAN proved in KHKN that how GREATEST, AMAZING ACTOR he is, even if he would have just made KHKN in career still i would consider him world's best actor ever , because of the AWESOMENESS KHKN has.. wish KHKN would have 10 more parts.. SRK is no doubt the best Bollywood actor Indian Cinema has ever Seen..

Shah Rukh Khan is the superstar of today who started his acting career from TV serials and once getting the right break, climbed to the sky of wealth and fame just like a fairytale. He has many super-duper hit movies to his credit. However today I am reviewing the movie starring him which I like the most and which has a special place in a corner of my heart. This movie is Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa (1994).

Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa (sometimes yes, sometimes no) is the story of a youth with a heart of gold. He is Sunil (Shah Rukh Khan) who has neither any interest in the automobile repair business of his father (Anjan Srivastav) nor in his studies. He is interested in music and devotes maximum time in the activities of the theatre group of his friends. He is very close to a priest Father Briganza (Nasiruddin Shah) who understands him and always shows him the right path. However he keeps on bearing with the scoldings of his father in his home.

But his heart and his life are brightened by the love in his heart for Aana (Suchitra Krishnamoorthy), a Christian girl. Sunil finds that Chris (Deepak Tijori), a rich youth is his rival for Aana's love. The tug of war between Sunil and Chris keeps on going with Aana being in the position of the rope. However in the end, Sunil comes to know that Aana and Chris genuinely love each other. Now it's not difficult for the audience to guess what our hero with a heart of gold is expected to do.

This movie is directed by Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro (1983) fame Kundan Shah who has cast the heroes of that movie, i.e., Nasiruddin Shah and Ravi Baaswani in this movie also. I consider this movie as his best work after JBDY and perhaps the last good work done by him. This is a beautiful movie with lots of touching moments. The mood of the movie remains light for the most part of it but it's not a regular comedy all the same. It's an emotional movie. A saga of a youth whose pluses are ignored by his father, who is error-prone but contains an ocean of sublime feelings in his heart, who is ready to sacrifice his love for the sake of the love of his life only but who is still strong enough to move on in life after that.

Whenever I watch this movie, it makes me weep at many places. The scene of Sunil's arranging false marks-sheet to satisfy his father but admitting it in the middle of the party thrown by his father to celebrate his success, is highly touching and reminds us of an episode from the life of Mahatma Gandhi, the Father of the Nation of India. And then follows the song - Woh To Hai Albela which I am ready to listen to and see on the screen for 'n' number of times without getting bored or tired.

The theatre-play in which a gangster's life-tragedy is presented on the screen (from his point-of-view) is also damn impressive. And the ending scene in which Sunil becomes the Best Man in the wedding of Aana and Chris and the wedding ring is slipped from his hand. The ending scene in which Juhi Chawla (in a guest appearance) comes across Sunil in the style similar to that of the heroine who has gone out of his life, is so amusing that this style of presentation (with some high-profile heroine delivering a guest appearance in the ending scene of the movie) was later copied in many Hindi movies.

Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa is full of entertainment. There is not a single boring moment in the movie. The script-writers (Kundan Shah and Pankaj Advani) have done a splendid job. The story is told in such a way that the viewers starts relating to and getting associated with the hero and keeps on flowing with him in the stream of events as if they were happening to himself only. The filmmaker is able to create such a passion in the viewer through his storytelling that the viewer smiles with the hero and weeps with him as well.

The movie does not boast of high production value and the complete milieu renders an air of simplicity but that is a huge plus point of the movie because it helps the audience in relating to the characters especially the hero. Technically everything is in order. The grip of the narrative remains so tight on the audience that the length of the movie is never felt.

Music by Jatin Lalit is admirable. In fact, during the nineties, they composed damn good music for many SRK movies. The best song, in my view, is Woh To Hai Albela in the voice of Kumar Sanu, Devki Pandit etc. Another song that stands out is also in the voice of Kumar Sanu only - Aye Kaash Ki Ab Hosh Mein Hum Aane Na Paayen.

I can't imagine any other actor in the role of Sunil. SRK has lived this role and made it thoroughly reliable. He is the heart and soul of this movie. Undoubtedly one of his best performances it is. Suchitra Krishnamoorthy has done well as somewhat naive and ambivalent Aana. Nasiruddin Shah has done the role of a different flavour this time and he is also very impressive.

Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa is a movie which has become an inseparable part of my heart. It lacks naturalness at many places because mainly it's been made for the purpose of entertainment in the form of a romantic comedy with a little dose of sentiments. Hence over the top things are there. If not for them, I would have considered this extra-ordinary movie as worthy of five stars.

I am surprised that a movie like this having so less rating. This movie deserves more than 8+ Rating. Truely Masterpiece from SRK, One of The Best of SHAH RUKH KHAN.
