Kyun! Ho Gaya Na...

I was looking forward to seeing this movie when it first came out. I'm so glad i never watched it in Cinemas, i hate sleeping in cinemas. Vivek Oberoi was having a great career, with Great movies like Company, Saathiya, Road and Dum. His next film was a flop Kisna, but after that Kyun Ho gaya na marks the end of his good career. Starring opposite the very beautiful Aishwarya Rai, who he was dating. This is one hell of a boring film, with a lousy script. The twist of this film was utterly ridiculous. I cant understand why Amitabh bothered appearing in this lame movie. This film and Home delivery are Viveks worst movies of his good predicting career. Vivek delivers a unsatisfying performance and Aishwarya is only good for looking at. Aishwarya is no doubt one of the most overrated actresses in Bollywood. If you look carefully she never made any good films. Any actress that stars opposite Shah Rukh Khan have no worries, and don't tell me Devdas and Hum dil de chuke sanam were good films. This film bored all the way, don't waste your time.

wow! finally the hero of the movie is not a hero but a boy next door. i have completely identified with him. so i have enjoyed watching the movie completely.

from start to end not a single scene is boring. the first highlight of the film is the screen chemistry between vivek and ash which is further enhanced by their at-that-time real-life-chemistry. they are a real treat to watch on screen. unfortunately, they are split now. but, i guess, vivek is more suitable to ash than abhishek is(he is the current beau of ash as the rumor suggests).

The second highlight of the film is direction which is fantastically done by new comer samir.

all in all a good time pass movie if u like novelty. not a run-of-the-mill stuff.

If you're expecting an epic like Devdas, well, this movie will disappoint you. But if you're just looking for a nice romantic comedy to pass the time, then this movie will do just that. It's delightful and charming, and will pull on your heartstrings at the right times too. Aishwarya Rai is stunningly beautiful as usual and she gives her character, Diya the right amount of vulnerability. Vivek Oberoi is endearing throughout the whole film. The strongest part of the film is the beginning, in my opinion. It progresses the fastest and most of the comedy is found there. I found the second half of the movie to be a bit slower. But don't worry, it's not slow enough to make your interest wane. Also, as a bonus, Amitabh Bachchan makes his appearance in the second half. Although the second half slows down a bit like I mentioned, it does lead up very well to the ending. I don't understand some of the comments made that Vivek and Aishwarya have no chemistry because I thought they had it in spades. Where this film succeeds is through the characters. The movie makes you care for them, and when they're happy, you're happy, and when they're sad, you're heartbroken for them. I highly recommend this film.

I thought that the film would just turn out to be a love story like every other Bollywood movie e.g. a boy & girl are in love and their parents won't let them get married because one of them is rich and the other is poor but it turned out to be so different and interesting about a boy who believes in arrange marriage and a girl who believes in love marriage. The movie was so peaceful & heartfelt, it was about 3 hours and didn't seem that long and I really liked Amitabh Bachchan in the second half he was a very nice funny guy. I don't like most of Aishwarya Rai's films but Kyon! ho gaya na is her best film. Songs are terrific each song is better than the other and the soundtrack of the movie is one of my favourite in my CD collection. Overall it's a very beautiful film for all ages and it took love stories to a new level.

"Kyun! Ho Gaya Na..." is a very low rated film on IMDb--with a current overall rating of 4.4. I would never rate the film this low, but can understand some folks' displeasure with the movie. It feels like a couple different films pieced together and the chemistry between the two leads is sometime lacking.

As for the first portion of the film, it's very much what you'd expect from an Aishwarya Rai Bachchan movie--full of romance and a formula I've come to expect from her films. This formula involves a desire to choose one's mate, meeting and hating a man, falling for the man, some even that tears them apart and, ultimately, the pair meeting again and marrying. I've seen it so many times that the first half felt like a case of deja-vu.

The second portion is pretty strange--with a completely different pace and setting. In this second half, Amitabh Bachchan (later for become Rai's father-in-law) is such a dominating presence that if feels more like his film. Only at the very end does the big climax come and the man (Vivek Oberoi) comes to his senses and runs to his lady love. The end. The final result is long and meandering feels much more like a hodge-podge than a coherent movie. Because of this, the film is not among my favorites in the career of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. It also has a few bad moments--such as the ridiculous fireworks scene.

By the way, if you know who the chef Todd English is, look at the character Ishaan. He sure looks like an Indian version of this celebrity chef!
