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.

"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!

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.

Terribly unfunny unromantic "romatic comedy"

This is not the kind of role one was expecting from Aish after she had been so careful in selecting her movie roles in the recent past. The role seemed tailor made for your generic teenybopper bollywood actress.. not the actress from Devdas, HDDCS and Chokher Bali amongst others.

Her costumes in some of the dances were shockingly bad.. She would do well to wear Indian costumes more than western ones,, she looks breathakingly gorgeous in the former and like any other bollywood actress in the latter.

Vivek looked good but the role was so annoyingly juvenile and smug that it wld be hard to imagine a girl falling for him!

Add to that, there was absolutely no chemistry between the lead players

Amitabh was incredibly annoying,, as was the whole orphanage plot line..

The writers of this movie need a crash-course with Linda Seger asap.. what a poorly written script.. ( and vivek oberoi was partly responsible for the writing.. expected better from you vivek!)

The less said about the direction the better..

This will go down as one of the most forgettable movies of the year..

And the most disappointing
