This week we are taking it back to a favorite movie of mine. When I say taking it back, I mean way back. Let's travel in time, back to 2003 to a classic Bollywood movie, Kal Ho Na Ho.
Unfortunately I couldn't find a trailer that has English Subtitles, but I found one of my favorite scenes from the film. Kal Ho Na Ho is about a young woman, Naina, who often pessimistic and cynical about the world. She lives with her Mother, her two younger siblings, and her very traditional Grandmother. Her grandmother and mother are constantly at odds, with different opinions in traditions, religion, and philosophy, but what mother-in-law daughter-in-law pair do get along? Her Grandmother has made it her mission to find a good, normal, plain, Punjabi husband for her, which Naina continues to dismiss. Just when Naina thought her life couldn't get anymore hectic, in comes Aman, a positive and bubbly guy, totally the opposite of Naina. He completely turns her world upside down, but for the good.
Kal Ho Na Ho means Tomorrow May Never Come. Although it sounds like a sorrowful movie, the movie focuses on living your life to the fullest, never hesitant what you really want to do in life, and don't waste your time dwelling on the past because, tomorrow may never come.
This movie is such a great family movie, filled with the perfect amount of laughter, love, and sadness. Even though it is shot in 2003, the cinematography is great, showing beautiful shots of the New York streets, and displaying the colorful, both literally and figuratively, sides of Indian weddings. What I liked most about the movie is that it kept you in suspense as well, whenever drama occurred it always kept you on the edge of your seat, wondering what will happen next.
My favorite part of this movie however, and this goes for all Bollywood movies to be honest, is the soundtrack. Bollywood movies are know for having fun and happy musical number throughout the movie, and this movie does not fail to provide that. The cinematography shines best during the songs because there is constant movement, yet it does a good job of not making the audience dizzy
I rate this movie a 5 out of 5 for being a really good romantic comedy because it is the perfect package of all the elements a rom-com has. I take every opportunity I have to re-watch this movie, and I probably will tonight, after I upload this post. If you would like to watch it, order it here from Amazon.
