Review
KAL HO NAA HO is the story of Aman, Rohit and Naina's journey together. How they discover themselves, find the courage to love and come together to celebrate life is what the film is all about.
The first half of the enterprise abounds in light moments. Moments that bring about a smile recurrently, but the writer and director have cleverly injected drama in the goings-on in a subtle fashion.t is the second half that has its share of serious moments. The love triangle and the complexities of relationships, treated differently, keep the viewer glued to the screen. The culmination to the story which begins as the engagement song comes to an end takes the film to dizzier heights altogether. The climax is highly emotional and completely justified, in keeping with the story of the film. The end is pleasant, very family-oriented and will be identified by Indians everywhere, whether in India or on foreign soil. --platform47.com
With Kal Ho Naa Ho director Nikhil Advani makes an assured debut.The plot deals with the journey of three friends and how their lives get intertwined and change forever.One can't imagine the film without SRK. The actor delivers yet another towering performance that he can be proud of, when he looks back in life. The role gives him immense scope to exhibit a gamut of emotions and the actor carries not just his role, but the entire film on his firm shoulders. Preity Zinta has never looked so pretty, nor has she ever acted with such conviction. This film should consolidate her status as an actress of substance. Saif Ali Khan is a revelation. The actor manages to stand on his own despite towering performances by SRK and Preity.
On the whole, KAL HO NAA HO has all it takes to emerge victorious. --platform47.com
