It was amazing to see the popularity of Bollywood films in the second youngest democracy which got its independence in 2000.
“Wow! So nice meaning…Indian movies most romantic.” I struggled for a romantic translation of the title and trying not to sound awkward I said, “Something, Something Happens…in Love.”
Once a young Timorese guy in a Superman T-shirt asked me during a workshop, “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. I have beautiful memories of East Timor and the number of times I was asked a variety of questions about ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’. He stamped on my passport and pushed it back through the tiny window with a smile, “Welcome to Timor-Leste!” Of course, I couldn’t tell the visa official all of that.
KUCH KUCH HOTA HAI KAJOL SERIES
I never saw him again, and that was perfectly okay, because the chapter of ‘Mayuri and the Series of Crushes’ had begun.
KUCH KUCH HOTA HAI KAJOL MOVIE
Soon, I experienced my first crush on an unknown guy with a dimpled smile and the songs from the movie played inside my head. I was coming to terms with puberty and this film happened. The songs played everywhere and chiffon sarees were a rage during the festive season. When it released, I was 11 years old and everyone in school either tried to dress up like Kajol’s Anjali or Rani Mukherjee’s Tina. Yes, yes I’ve watched! I LOVE that movie. “Oh, India… Kuch Kuch Hota Hai! You watched? You like?” he exclaimed with wild delight. and I am glad that I did not get into the story and just went ahead with the conviction of Karan, otherwise the film would have not been the way it came out,” he had said comparing the first draft and the final film.I clearly remember facing the serious official behind the visa-on-arrival desk and pushing my passport through the tiny window. So yes, I really did not understand the story when I signed in. In his strange way Karan, the man with many words tried to impress me with his crap story. “Karan came and narrated an utterly nonsense crap story to me which is certainly not the one that finally you people saw in the film. And the eight letters - one for each birthday - made no sense, either,” the director had said in the interview to Mid-Day.Īt an event in 2018 to celebrate 20 years of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Shah Rukh had called the film’s original story ‘utterly nonsensical’.
“You don’t know what Shah Rukh, or anyone else, does for a living in the movie. He had added that there was ‘no logic or backstory to the characters’. What made him endearing was his charm, his large heart and Shah Rukh’s personal charisma.” Whatever happened to him was because there were people pushing him - his dead wife’s spirit, his eight-year-old daughter, and Anjali herself. He’s a deeply confused character, doesn’t know what he wants and, really, didn’t do a lot much in the movie. Talking about Shah Rukh’s character, Karan had said in an interview in 2019, “Rahul doesn’t stand for very much. Its director, however, had taken an axe to it sometime ago, calling it the story of a ‘deeply confused character’ that was played by SRK. As Karan Johar’s debut film Kuch Kuch Hota Hai completes 22 years today – the Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol and Rani Mukerji film was released on Octo– there is an entire generation that counts it as iconic.
