Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham... (Hindi: कभी ख़ुशी कभी ग़म... translation: Sometimes Happiness, Sometimes Sadness) is a Bollywood film released in India and countries with large NRI populations on 14 December 2001.
It features Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Shahrukh Khan, Kajol, Hrithik Roshan, Kareena Kapoor and Rani Mukerji in a guest appearance. It is director Karan Johar's second movie (after Kuch Kuch Hota Hai). This is the fifth movie to star Shahrukh Khan and Kajol - this movie along with their others was praised for their on-screen chemistry.
Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham... was the highest grossing Indian film in the overseas market until 2006, when its record was broken by Johar's third film, Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna. It climbed up to 3rd place in the British box office within two weeks of release, and maintained its place for over 3 weeks. It got to 32nd place at the American box office, opening there 4 January 2002.[3] The film was the first Bollywood feature to see a theatrical release in Germany (with German subtitles, a dubbed version was produced too).

 

Story

Yashvardhan "Yash" Raichand (Amitabh Bachchan) is a rich businessman, living with his loving wife Nandini (Jaya Bachchan) and two sons, Rahul and Rohan. Rahul is adopted whilst Rohan is their biological son. Rahul feels indebted to his parents when he finds out at the age of eight that he is adopted. Yash expects both of his sons to abide by the traditions of their family - this includes going to boarding school and having arranged marriages. As an adult, Rahul (Shahrukh Khan) returns home after studying abroad for many years. He promises his father that, no matter what happens, he shall abide by the family's traditions.However, Rahul soon comes across Anjali (Kajol) and instantly falls for her. After they spend some time together, Anjali too falls for him but feels that their relationship has no future, as she is from a working class background whereas he is from a rich family. Yash decides to get his friend's daughter Naina (Rani Mukherji), whom he sees as a very suitable girl, married to Rahul. However, Naina encourages Rahul to follow his heart when she comes to know that he loves another woman. Rahul informs his father that he is in love with Anjali and intends to marry her. But Yash is enraged and hurt by this news. Rahul promises to break off with Anjali. He goes to tell her that he cannot marry her, but is shocked to discover that her father (Alok Nath) has suddenly died. Rahul cannot bear to see Anjali living alone and decides to marry her, at once, without his father's permission. Yash is very upset and says that the reason for Rahul's action is that he is not of Raichand blood. He throws Rahul out of the house, saying he no longer considers him his son. Nandini and Rahul share a tearful goodbye. Nandini also sends Rahul's nanny Sayeeda (Farida Jalal) so that Rahul can always feel a mother's love. Before leaving, Rahul visits Rohan who is in boarding school and advises him on what to do when he wishes to achieve something in life. He requests that Rohan never asks why he left or where he went.
Ten years later, a grown-up Rohan (Hrithik Roshan) learns from his grandmothers, Achala Sachdev (Yash's mother) and Sushma Seth (Nandini's mother), the fact that Rahul was adopted and also the reason why he left. Rohan sees the pain of the broken family; he vows to bring Rahul and Anjali back. He finds out from Sayeeda's daughter that Rahul had moved to London with Anjali and her little sister Pooja. Rohan tells his parents that he intends to do his MBA in London, which they agree to let him do. In London, Rahul and Anjali have become wealthy. They are raising a son named Krish. Rohan enrols into King's College where a grown-up Pooja (Kareena Kapoor) is also a student. Rohan and Pooja meet and he tells her that he has come to take his brother and sister-in-law back to their rightful places in their home in India. Pooja agrees to help Rohan take Rahul and Anjali back. Pooja informs Rahul that Rohan is her friend's cousin who has come from India to study and needs a place to stay. Rahul reluctantly agrees to let the young man stay, not knowing who he really is. Rohan reminds the family of how much they miss India. At a school function, Rohan asks Krish to perform the Indian National Anthem. When Krish informs everybody about this, Rahul discovers Rohan's true identity (Rohan uses the exact same words of advice that Rahul had spoken to him ten years ago). Rohan tries to persuade his brother to come home - he says that Nandini loves Rahul the most and always will. Rahul refuses as he still believes that Yash does not love him. Pooja, however, feels sure that Rahul will go back home. She encourages Rohan to invite his parents over to London and get them to meet Rahul. Nandini and Rahul share a happy reunion. But Rahul still refuses to talk to his father. Yash finds out the truth and is furious with Rohan. Yash's mother is on her death bed and her last wish is for her funeral pyre to be lit by Yash, Rahul and Rohan together. They all travel back to India for the funeral, but Rahul and Yash do not speak with one another.
Nandini tells Yash, for the first time in ten years, that she believes he was wrong in cutting off ties with Rahul. Rohan talks sense into Rahul and makes him realize just how much Yash and Nandini really love him. Rahul and Yash meet again. Yash expresses his guilt for disowning his elder son and also says that Rahul was foolish for believing his father did not love him. Rohan and Pooja get married and the family also have a belated celebration of Rahul and Anjali's wedding. The credits comes up with a family portrait.

Cast

Production

The film brings back the Kuch Kuch Hota Hai star cast consisting of Shahrukh Khan, Kajol and Rani Mukerji.
The second half of the film is set principally in London, and many scenes were filmed there. The film was also shot in places like Egypt, Bicester Village Shopping Centre (on DVD's deleted scenes), Blenheim Palace (King's College in the film), Bluewater Shopping Centre (the mall), Bond St., Kingsway Rd., Covent Garden, British Museum, Butler's Wharf, Heathrow Airport, Leicester Square, Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Piccadilly Circus, Stowe School, The Strand and Waddesdon Manor.
The "e" added to the second Kabhi in the title was mainly because the director, Karan Johar believes in numerology. Shahrukh Khan's son, Aryan Khan plays the young Rahul in the opening credits of the movie.
Abhishek Bachchan initially had a cameo in this movie but it was later cut out. Karan Johar mentioned in the Deleted Scenes DVD that the legendary actress Waheeda Rahman was to play Amitabh Bachchan's mother in the film. A few scenes were shot but her husband died and Waheeda Rahman was forced to opt out. In 2005 the movie was released on DVD in Poland as Czasem słońce, czasem deszcz (Sometimes sun, sometimes rain).
