Grab your tissues, King Johar is back with all his legion. His mission seems to push the biggest tear jerker of the year,
‘Baghban’, on the second slot. His weapon is obviously Shah Rukh Khan, the ailing but perky protagonist, who lights up everyone's life.
His strategy in the movie is to trudge the tried and tested path of yesteryear's hit 'Anand' but with the contemporary look.
Set in the backdrop of New York neighbourhood, Kal Ho na Ho takes the look at this half Punjabi, half catholic family of Kapurs.
Priety Zinta is Naina Catherine Kapur, who shoulders the responsibility of her little sister and brother apart from her
mother, Jennifer Kapur (Jaya Bachchan) and great grandmother.
As you must have guesses it by now, she is a no nonsense girl, who has a very few
time for fun and games. Enter vivacious Aman Mathur (Shah Rukh Khan), the man who loves life to the core.
Aman, an incorrigible optimist, can read the unhappiness writ large on Naina's face. So, he decides to make a few changes in her life.
To accomplish this tough task, he even ropes in his friend Dr. Rohit (Saif Ali Khan).
But everything is not hunky-dory with Aman either. He is ailing with the fatal disease.
What will happen to Naina? Will she be able to take one more blow? Weighing heavily on it's emotional quotient, Kal Ho Na Ho promises you
a heart wrenching love tale.
Directed by Nikhil-Advani, the film has music by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and lyrics by Javed Akhtar.
