Seemingly proving the age old theory that men and women can never be platonic friends without complications, Anjali falls in love with Rahul, without his knowledge. Rahul then tells the poor girl that he's fallen for Tina (Rani Mukherji), and Anjali flees the college. The tale then cuts to a point in time years later, after Tina has unexpectedly died, leaving Rahul as a single parent, free to meet Anjali again. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

Kuch Kuch Hota Hai is a romance that stands out from the typical Hollywood love story -- paying attention to detail and character development in a way in which I've rarely seen before. Great melodies, especially the title song. Shahrukh Khan and Kajol are the best pairing in modern day's hero's and look wonderful together. I recommend this to anyone who wants to be swept away by a good story and great actors.

Great movie with an amazing story plot by Karan Johar. Great cast-Shahrukh Khan, Kajol, and Rani Mukherjee are all phenomenal!! Great love story about two college pals (Rahul and Anjali) who do just about everything together, until the principals's daughter (Tina) arrives and Rahul quickly falls in love with her. It is then, that Anjali also begins to realize her love for Rahul, but is suddenly too late to confess her love. Eight years after, Rahul loses Tina after childbirth and raises his daughter (named also Anjali) with his mother. On her 8th birthday, young Anjali realizes her mother's greatest wish to reunite both Rahul and Anjali. Fantastic music, sweet songs!! Definitely worthy.
