Haso Gao Mushkurao...Kya Pata?

Today is this classic movie, Kal Ho Na Ho's 8th anniversary. I just finished watching some of my favorite parts and songs from it. Now my heart is like floating within because it must be filled with so much tears...

Released in 2003, on this date, November 28th, it touched so many hearts with its simple and meaningful story about living life to the fullest...I remember having seen a person who had just come out from the theater after watching this, suggesting to bring of a box of tissues with you. That is definitely right. Today, after 8 years, the last few scenes still make me teary-eyed. Even after watching this movie over 20 times already, the emotions have remained the same, it's not like well you know what will happen. With this film, in spite of knowing what's going to happen, you still feel for the character(s).

The story of Kal Ho Na Ho is pretty touchy, of course coated with beautiful music and nearly nice punchy comedy. I can definitely relate to it, I'm sure many of you can relate to it as well.

I have this issue with watching the last scene, meaning the hospital scene. So it's been a few years since I actually watched the full movie until today...meaning I did watch the end of it today. I guess I have become brave enough to watch the last part without shedding a single tear...yeah, had to hold back my tears because I don't cry in front of anyone.

It released in Diwali with another movie Janasheen...which definitely bombed. Hello? Has anyone been able to win against Shah Rukh Khan by releasing their movie on the same day? I don't think so...

Well, coming back to Kal Ho Na Ho, there was one thing which I didn't like...the comedy. Sometimes it was over the top and a little too loud. What I love about the film? Everything else. I especially loved the dialogues written by Niranjan Iyengar. I listen to the title track every single day nowadays....I don't know why but my day doesn't seem complete without listening to it. The Heartbeat instrumental is also amazing as hell. I could listen to it all day and night long.

I remember in 2003 when the movie released, it was being compared to an old movie called Anand. Well...what to do? Every movie of Shah Rukh's is always compared to other movies. But the fact is people, many of us will remember Kal Ho Na Ho more than Anand.

My friends: laugh, sing, smile...who knows? Kal ho na ho...
