The glossy, sentimental, cotton candy family drama has always been a mainstay for the Yash Raj camp - and of the Indian film industry itself. Directed and produced by Karan Johar, K3G is Johar's magnificent follow-up to his 1998 classic, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.
Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham is the story of a family which holds tradition with utmost importance...and this causes familial rifts and fractures the once khushi family, leading them to years of ghum. Although the sets and wealth, though beautiful, clearly lack conviction or any sense of reality, the heart of the film rests with Johar's portrayal of Indian culture. The viewer notes that in a world where (metaphorically) families live in castles, dance in Egypt, and return home by private helicopter - the mellennia-old Indian, specifically Hindu, culture still prevails in determining an individual's identity and perspective on the world. And in an era of Indian commercial boom, Johar's K3G shows that Indian culture must not consequentially suffer a bust.
Once again, most great films also feature great music - this time composed by the duo Jatin-Lalit. Notable tracks include Suraj Hua Maddham, Bole Chudiyaan, Yeh Ladki Haai Allah.
