Comments:
Again Shahrukh's acting shines through the screen. He fulfilled his role to the fullest. Nobody could've done it better.
Kajol and Shahrukh both have a great talent in acting and combined are a super acting bomb. BOOM BOOM.
Both on-screen and off-screen they make a beautiful couple. Adding to the whole romance part. It's a really cute and touching story. Recommended for the whole family :)
There's an up coming remake of this film by the name of "Koochie koochie hota hai"
It's a tad different. This time it's not humans playing the roles, it's ANIMALS!
Being released Summer 2010 :)
Congrats Karan Johar :D
