Kabhi to Alvida Kehdo!

This should have been the title for Karan Johar's latest film. For me , this is one of the least awaited movies of the year, coz I have never been a man who likes cliches.

'Oh it was so much fun working with Karan- he is like my brother'

'Amit uncle makes it so comfortable in the shoots, that I feel I am at home'

'I get along with Rani just like I do with my sister'

'We are one big happy family -- plastic smile' Enough!!!!!!!!!!!

I hate the stereotyped starcast and the colors and the all-too-similar songs, tears, attire....
Yeah people! I am not a Karan Johar fan. I used to be - when I saw Kuch Kuch hota hai, but not anymore. Too much of honey is poison and too much of the same old Karan Johar formula is even worse. And to top it all - his haunting background music which reverberates throughout the movie Aaahh!!! Give me a god damn break.

Its also his self professed love for Shahrukh Khan - no puns intended :) - which makes the plot even more nauseating. Shahrukh has to be central, He has to be everyone's good son, he has to dance well, wear expensive clothes, sing well, run around trees and famous bridges across the world as elegantly as the most graceful ballet dancer ever born. All this is too much to take.

When will you grow up Mr. Johar and churn out something atleast a little different from the run of the mill crap that you have become so used to creating?

One of the movies which sets up nicely but is a disaster in the ending 20-25 minustes...actually I liked the story idea of spouses getting bugged with each other but it would have been so much better if they did not give up on the marriage and jump into something else ..That is the Indian difference to marriages ..I was wondering where the Title kabhi Alvida Na Kehna fitted in .. It would have fitted better if it was Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna to their own marriages ...
