Product Description DVD special features:Anamorphic Widescreen Presentation Optional English Subtitles 5.1 Dolby Digital Sound Digitally re-mastered from the original film .co.uk Review The 2001 romantic Bollywood drama Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham ("Happiness and Tears") proved to be even more successful than Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, the highest-grossing Indian film of all time and one which was also directed by Karan Johar. Starring veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan and wife Jaya, this tells the story of an Indian family who live in palatial comfort but who are riven when the eldest, adopted son Rahul marries Anjali (Kajol) a feisty and attractive woman but whose "lower breeding" causes his father to disapprove of her. Breaking his mother's heart, Rahul moves to Britain with Anjali before younger brother Rohan tries to go after him and end 10 years of estrangement to reunite the family.Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham is packed with contemporary trappings and production values but is in every way a traditional and generic Hindi movie. Those new to Bollywood might be disconcerted by some of the fashion statements or the mixture of drawn-out, lachrymose melodrama and slightly overplayed comedy-romantic interplay between Rahul and Anjali. There are also some scenes around Leicester Square and Westminster that are almost insulting in their stereotyping of hot, swinging London. However, K3G--as it has become affectionately known--is a riot of joyful colour, music and choreography (an embarrassing version of "It's Raining Men" is an exception). This is not a crossover movie, perhaps but a sumptuous treat for Bollywood fans.On the DVD: an anamorphic widescreen presentation with impeccable definition. However there are no special features, apart from subtitles. --David Stubbs

All the top Bollywood Stars in one film - though subtitles a bit sketchy
SRK, Kajol, Amitabh Buchan (and his real life wife), Hrithik Roshan all could carry a film on their own but all together in one film is amazing. (Also Rani Mukerji from previous films) The chemistry, classic story creates cinema gold refining on earlier films in which the cast were also together!

A film not to be missed.
As usual Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol burn the silver screen with their onscreen chemistry. I deeply regret they not being married in real life as I truly feel they were made for each. Since their first film together, I have enjoyed all their pairings and they have given me so much happiness and joy each time I watch their films. I do hope they come together in many more films and wish them every success for the future. I thank Karan Johar who is an excellent director and filmmaker for bringing together.

Really enjoyable film
I saw this film a few years ago at a friend's house. I'd never seen a Bollywood film before but found that I thoroughly enjoyed this one. I've just recently bought it for my mother for her birthday, as she's said she'd like to see more Bollywood films and I thought this would be a good place to start! :) My favourite part was seeing how they portrayed London - a lot less grey and rainy than in real life!

Modern Indian cinema film
I selected this rating, because I like Indian cinema and decided, that this film with his actors casting will represents status of modern indian cinema. My expectations about film were slightly higher, than what I actualy saw in the film, but actors play compensates for some scenario flaws like too much stereotipes in behaviour of indians in Engalnd and little bit more than usual Indian nationalism in some moments. Finally I can recommend this film to fans of Mr. Bachchan and Cajol, but the film is not too unforgettable.

Some annoyingly cheesy sequences in the London bit but a great movie nonetheless with cracking performances from SRK and the totally gorgeous Kajol . One of my favourite Bollywood films, I’d give it 8.5 out of 10 and say yes get it

Great start for new Bollywood lovers
I just am crazy about these stories and love the dancing. Yes, of course the acting is sometimes over the top. But, SRK is so charming and he makes you forget about all the other really crazy people dancing around in the world, just for a couple hours.
