Set against the superbly picturised Mahi ve, the film ends on a note that can be best described as clapworthy. It is time for the audience to discover that Aman is not what he seems.įull marks to director Nikhil Advani and producer Karan Johar for not letting the proceedings turn heavy. Post interval, it is time to bring out the tissues - an entire box of them in fact. Naina hates him at first sight, but can't help being overwhelmed by Aman's charm.Įven Rohit takes tips from Aman on how to be cool and influence people. Life is a song and dance till the interval. He zooms into Naina's neighbourhood singing Pretty woman and woos everyone in sight, including uppity Naina. He is Dale Carnegie-Jim Carrey-Richard Gere-Deepak Chopra all rolled into one. He is also a typical Gujarati, whose father (Satish Shah) runs a business called Dial A Dhokla.Įnter funny guy Aman, who turns out to be the proverbial angel in Naina's life. He is uncool with women but thinks he is cool. The only interesting person in Naina's life is buddy Rohit Patel (Saif Ali Khan). Together they are chaos.Įnough reason for Naina to turn into a boring, bespectacled spinster type who takes life too seriously. There is her mom Jennifer (Jaya Bachchan in jeans), who shares a love-hate relationship with her mother-in-law Sushma Seth (at her loudest Punjabi best). The characters in Naina's life are introduced with the same energy that Naina puts into her jog. The film kicks off with Manhattan resident Naina Catherine Kapur (Preity Zinta) narrating the story of her life over her daily morning jog. But on the whole, Kal Ho Naa Ho is as different as they come. Shah Rukh Khan's character (Aman) is largely inspired by Rajesh Khanna's happy-go-lucky charmer in Anand. For all those who want to know whether Kal Ho Naa Ho is a remake of Hrishikesh Mukherjee's Anand, the answer is yes.
