Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa

When Kundan Shah released this movie, few thought it could match his other cult classic Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron. In my estimation, it does! While JBDY ended sadly (perhaps reflecting the cynicism of the common man in those times), KBKN has a bitter-sweet happy ending.

This is a simple boy-loves-girl-but-she-loves-somebody-else story, but the treatment, the characters, the side jokes, etc are all awesome! Shah Rukh shines as a simple star, before he reached superstar status where every movie of his has to be larger than life. Other characters like Deepak Tijori, Naseerudin Shah, Ashutosh Gowarikar, etc are sketched out extremely well! 

Even SRK himself considers this the movie closest to his heart : http://www.glamsham.com/movies/scoops/06/nov/

those were the days when srk was not king khan, he could play a character normally in a movie (unlike today where the character plays srk aka self-proclaimed king khan)... THE best performance of srk, pure, unadulterated and very much enjoyable... songs are awesome, great performances by srk, naseer, anjan shrivastav, suchitra... 

story goes like this, sunil (srk) is a happy go lucky guy who is not so good at studies, very good at music... good at heart but does not mind lying a bit here and there... and when he lies there is no stopping him... he is part of a music band and loves ana (suchitra krishnamurthy) but oops she loves chris (deepak tijori)... story moves with sunil goofing up big time but doing fine later... 

overall movie is a must watch for any bollywood lover...
