Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna
The Movie
You cannot imagine a bigger star cast than KANK. Top contemporary stars Shah Rukh Khan, Rani Mukherjee, Abhishekh Bachchan, and Amitabh Bachchan in one movie is any movie buff’s dream come true. And, you’ve got to thank Karan Johar to have made this dream possible for the crazy Bollywood movie fans.
The story is based on a bold and mature theme, and depicts the dilemma of married couples. SRK is married to Preity Z, and Abhishekh and Rani M portray the other not-so-happy married couple. Situations get tense when the married SRK falls in love with the married Rani.
Interesting Fact
Rumors have it that SRK’s daughter Suhana is making her film debut as a child artist, playing the role of a boy. SRK’s son Aryan made his debut earlier in another Karan Johar movie Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham.
Songs
What else can you expect of a Karan Johar movie – great songs! The songs from Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna have already made a big splash and are proving to be a hit with the teen brigade. Exquisitely composed, the seven songs from the album are an assortment of sad, slow, lilting, and some fabulously catchy songs.
Sung on screen by today’s top Bollywood stars, these songs are expected to have a mesmerizing effect on the viewer. Karan Johar is a master at touching the emotional chords of the masses. Renditions have been made by Alka Yagnik, Sonu Nigam, and Shafqat Amanat Ali (of the famous Pakistani band – Fuzon). The title song, “Kabhie Alvida Naa Kehna”, sung by Alka and Sonu, is slow and sad, and sets the tone of the movie.
The movie, like most Karan Johar movies, is rich in emotional content, melodrama, and larger-than-life portrayal of characters. It is a movie most movie buffs are waiting with baited breath to release, sometime in August.
[…] The war between the two titans is on, but a third guy seems to be their punching bag. Yes, Karan Johar the mediator between the warlords King Khan and Big B is at the receiving end. The audio of Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (KANK) was scheduled to release during the IIFA event, but SRK refused to attend. So, Karan Johar had to plan two audio releases - one in London to please SRK, and the other at Dubai. The Dubai event was attended by Big B and the entire cast. SRK was conspicuous by his absence. The diplomat in Karan has so far failed to get both the titans to call truce. […]
