Look What's Happened Now

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.

The much hyped Kyun Ho Gaya Na, surely disappoints. Then main flaw in this film is the dull storyline. There are a few touching moments in this film, but there aren't strong enough to stay with you even after the film has ended. Kyun Ho Gaya Na, lacks emotional content. And even, the comedy is not really funny. For any love story its important that the on screen chemistry between the hero and the heroine is just right. Sadly, there is absolutely no romantic chemistry between the real life lovers Ash and Vivek. Music is quite good, especially Pyaar mein, No no and Aao na which have been picturized well. The remaining songs could have easily been cut out. Cinematography top notch, the film looks gorgeous. Aishwarya Rai doesn't look the part of Dia and her performance is disappointing. Vivek O'beroi is excellent. He not only looks, but also plays the part of Arjun effortlessly. Vivek's performance comes out as natural and breezy. Om Puri is good as always, Rati Agnihotri seem to getting a lot of mother role lately and she plays them extremely well. Tinu Anand is fine in a small role, Amitabh Bachchan is annoying. Sorry to say that but, an actor of his caliber shouldn't play such mediocre characters. His performance looks fake and childish. Sunil Shetty is adequate. Unfortunately, Kyun Ho Gaya Na doesn't live up to expectations. Apart from Vivek's acting, a few good songs and the fantastic visuals nothing else is appealing about this film. 6/10.

"Comantic romedies", as I once called them by mistake, are not my favorite sort of movies, but nevertheless I've hit upon instances I like a lot. Well, "Kyun! Ho gaya na..." is definitely not one of those. The story is one of thirteen in a dozen and unfolds itself without any significant surprises. Already at the very start of the film you know how it is going to end, and that the road towards that end will be tortuous. But then, that is inherent to the genre. Whether such a movie is nice or not, depends pretty much on things like humor, acting, chemistry between the actors and the like. Unfortunately, when it comes to these, KHGN turns out to be a major disappointment.

The best memories I have about it are the roles of Om Puri and Amitabh Bachchan. With both gentlemen, you are in for a real treat. Most important in romantic comedies, however, is chemistry between the protagonists, in this case Vivek Oberoi and Aishwarya Rai, and unfortunately, that is precisely what KHGN completely lacks. I don't think Vivek is to be blamed for that. He does whatever he can, playing the kind of light-hearted, immature joker we've seen him playing before, too, and generally manages well. Aishwarya, on the other hand, is deeply disappointing. I've seen her playing way below her possibilities in other movies as well, but in KHGN her acting is downright embarrassing. If there is anything at all she manages to convey with this role, it must be something like: "God, what evil have I done to Thee to deserve playing in this movie". I'm curious why. Laziness? Arrogance ("I am the Queen of Bollywood, and whatever I do, I am a mega star anyway")? Deep roots in old Bollywood traditions ("Hurry up folks, in twenty minutes I have to be at the next set")? Trouble in her real-life relationship with co-star Vivek Oberoi? Hard to tell. But one thing is for sure: this horrible performance of hers is enough to destroy an entire movie, including the good work of the other actors. A few more of these sub-standard performances, and no director will ever be willing to work with her - queen or no queen. Besides, Aishwarya is not exactly the logical choice for the role of a young girl of less than average beauty, the type of girl boys tend to neglect.

I should add that the movie is way too long for such a thin tale. During most of these 170 minutes I found myself bored or almost falling asleep. Not even because the tempo is slow, but because there is constantly too much of the same thing. Of the entire footage, no more than 100, perhaps 120 minutes is usable, and the rest can quietly be removed: it would undoubtedly make the movie more bearable.

A great asset of KHGN is the music. In my opinion, the score would have deserved a much better movie than this one.

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.

The movie is good, not so different from any other Bolly movie, but this time the male (vivek) is a guy who believes in arr-mar. And the girl (Ash) in Pyar (love-marr).

Big B comes in the second half of the movie, and even then not much of him is seen.

2 special app. by SS and DM (don't want to reveal full names).

Great songs and music.

Overall its worth watching, little comedy little RONA-DONA (drama).

Great cast and acting by many...

Watch it at your own risk.... (i do recommend it)
