Shourya Sangam K3G is directed by Karan Johar and stars an unbeatable cast: Amithabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Sharhukh Khan, Kajol, Hrithik Roshan, and Kareena Kapoor. 6 stars should mean an awesome movie, right? Well, the answer is yes because there's stuff to love but unfortunately, also stuff that's just not that good. About the acting, out of the 6 leads, I only really liked 3 of the performances: SRK, Hrithik, and Jaya Bachchan. They really gave excellent performances, especially Hrithik Roshan. Amithabh, Kajol, and Kareena were pretty much overacting to the point of insanity for the entire movie and it got kind of irritating. I could tolerate Amithabh and Kajol's overacting, but by the time it got to Kareena Kapoor, I almost wanted to turn it off. I really mean that even though I really like this movie. Her introduction into the film was so ridiculously unnecessary and just cringe-worthy. The story is masterful. A father and son are estranged from each other and the younger son has to bring the family back together. I think Karan Johar handled this story excellently. The songs are really well handled, my favorite being "Bole Chudiyan." But there were so many songs that it felt like there were songs almost every 10 minutes. The comedy for the most part worked. There were tears about to come to my eyes in a couple of scenes. Also the movie is way too long. A lot of unnecessary scenes could have been cut out.I really enjoyed K3G. The 2 major problems I had with the film was the excessive overacting, especially Kareena Kapoor's, and the film's lengthy run time. That's why Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham gets a B.
akbalboa If i had an option of giving it negative vote,i would have gave it to this film.You cant count how many times a single character weeps in the movie.If You do not believe,try it.There over emotional acting by everybody in this movie.This movie also shows the racist nature by making fun of other cultures like they joked about Britishers.Family of Shah-Rukh khan lives in UK and his wife did not want that her children become like Britishers and learn about their culture.I want to ask that if they have so much problems with other cultures and other race people than why they were living in UK.Living in foreign country talking crap about that land which feeds you and your family.They should have gone to their own country.Too cheap thinking by director Karan Johar.He should be ashamed of him that what crap he made.Most cheapest of all,the British children singing the Indian patriotic song.The used all the cheap things which hurt many culture and races.Why people like this kind of crap.I feel ashamed that these kind of movies comes out of my own country.
Peter Young Karan Johar's Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham is one of the most ravishing, grandiose and melodramatic Hindi films ever made. It is incredibly unrestrained and stormy in its emotional quotient, and yet so watchable, enjoyable and at times even pleasurable, that you can't but applaud to this spectacular show. It is one of the few films where overacting seems superb acting and overly melodramatic proceedings, despite being very cheesy and occasionally clichéd, become quite bearable. It combines realism and surrealism, comedy and heavy melodrama in a very unique style, which makes for an altogether colourful picture which is fun to watch.The film is about relationships in family, about loving your parents and your family, about pride, values and regret. The well defined and written characters are used to create and present all these qualities. Even the least emotional scenes are accompanied by orchestrated violins, heavy piano and strikingly sad pictures on-screen. The film shows both the bright and dark sides of happy families, and while it never breaks new ground, never looks totally authentic, it is always entertaining in spite of its flaws. It depicts both the Indian traditional world and the western modern world and tries to bring them together in many instances.Some of the film's too emotional scenes could have been better edited and partly cut. The cinematography is good, the sets are extremely lavish, and the narrative is effectively laden with numerous songs and many memorable moments of comedy and drama. The comedy provides great relief and lightens the otherwise more-than-enough drama, and the music is extraordinary. My favourite song is "Suraj Hua Maddham", a greatly melodious number wonderfully performed by Sonu Nigam and Alka Yagnik and extremely beautifully shot across some breathtaking locations. Needless to say, the chemistry between the two leads, Shahrukh Khan and Kajol, is as electrifying as ever.Where acting goes, Amitabh Bachchan is restrained and displays well the hidden pain and the visible pride. Jaya Bachchan is superb as the subservient yet strong woman. Towards the end there is one very powerful scene in which she really stands out (you'll know which one). Shahrukh Khan in a typical, cynical and likable character, is great as always. Kajol utterly steals the show and proves her prowess as a gifted comedienne. She is hilarious in her comic scenes and equally shines in moments of drama. Her strong, charismatic presence is perhaps the best thing about this film. Farida Jalal provides excellent support. Hrithik and Kareena are unimpressive and inconsistent. Hrithik is over-expressive and far more emotional than required, and Kareena, while attractive and quite funny at times, badly overacts.All in all, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham has bits of everything: drama, melodrama, romance and comedy, all presented wholeheartedly in true Hindi-film style with lots of tears and lots of fun. It is an example of Bollywood entertainment at its grandest, and works as such. This is a movie to be seen with one's family. Go for it.
