Yash Raj's films are sentimental. They're emotional. They're dramatic. They're romantic. They're about love, life and relationships. Kal Ho Naa Ho is the latest endeavor and it is no different than any other Yash Raj film. It follows the usual formula and is quite successful at it.
SPOILER
The story goes something like this... Saif Ali Khan falls in love with his best friend Preity Zinta. Preity falls in love with her new neighbour Shah Rukh Khan. SRK loves her, but plays cupid for her and SAK, because he's... dying. For SRK Kal Ho Naa Ho, literally.
The story is quite moving. SRK gives a wonderful performance as usual. SAK plays the playboy who finally finds his true love as he has so many times before. And Preity is the love interest who gets sandwiched in. Kal Ho Naa Ho follows the formula and is executed beautifully. Apart from a few flaws, such as the ease of SRK's qurbani and Preity's acceptance of this qurbani, it's a lovely tale with lovely songs and lovely cameos from Rani and Kajol.
****/5 stars
