Anish Misra Kabhi Haa Kabhi Naa is a film co-written and directed by Kundan Shah. I saw this film because many people recommended to me that it is a good film. And yes it is. No because of SRK. But because of the way the story is written.Plot: Sunil Falls in love with Anna. But Anna loves Chris. So who will Ann's be? Story and Direction: At first the story looked to me as a romantic comedy. No, but it has some elements of drama too. It is mostly centered around Sunil and his love for Anna. It is very beautifully shown that how he cares for Anna. Then we have Chris who too loves and cares for Anna.But still I feel for the Sunil character. The supporting characters like Father Briganza, Don Anthony, Sunil's band, etc... are all etched out very nicely . I never felt a dull moment in the film. Even those who feel for Sunil, there is a surprise package in the last scene. For which all credibility goes to Kundan Shah.Performances: Shah Rukh Khan does an excellent job as Sunil. He impressed me quite a lot. Deepak Tijori was also great. I didn't expect him to do that good. Suchitra Krishnamoorthy as the heroine was OK. (But since the film was about Sunil more so I could actually forgive that). Naseeruddin Shah was in quite a different role that showed how versatile an actor he is. Even Goga Kapoor stepped out of his villainous role (known for Raavan character), which was commendable. The rest of the supporting actors also fitted the bill perfectly.Music: Jatin-Lalit has composed the music. and they have done a wonderful job. 'Deewana Main Deewana' and 'Woh to Hai Albela' were some of my favorites. Even the background score (maybe done by the same music duo) was also great. I got a little disappointed in the song 'Sachi Yeh Kahani Hai' because it was a straight rip off of the Boney M song 'Ma Baker'. Even the lyrics too sounded the same.Favorite scene: I guess it would be the very first one. It was a comedy of errors and a nice dream sequence.Verdict: I enjoyed this film a lot. One number would be lessened from my side, as of the song I mentioned before and Suchitra Krishnamoorthy too.I would give the film a 9/10.

CriticGirl91 The simplicity of this film is laudable. The beauty of the film is in the perspective that it takes. The entire film is from the viewpoint of the naughty rather than the nice hero.So, Deepak Tijori plays our typical all goody hero, while SRK is a little bit of a selfish and deceptive person with a heart of gold. It is the story of a simpleton, who lives in a dream world of his own. His dreams are often shattered, but he is admirable for his ability to bounce back after every disappointment. Even when he loses his biggest dream, he shows his large heartedness by keeping his love before himself.The entire feel of the movie is sincere, a slice of life with no attempts to thrill you. There are no superheroes or villains in the film, just everyday people like you and me. And not to forget, the wonderful music of the film. Probably the best of the nineties- with my favorite heart touching Ae Kash Ke Hum.Then why my mediocre rating for this one? Simply because of SRK's acting. He is as superficial and over-the- top as he is today. He is much better suited as the villain. A good actor in his place would have taken this film to the next level. Nevertheless, a one time watch.

nomanali77 I have watched this movie over 20 times. But i don't think that it's a GREAT movie. It's just a fairly good movie. Simple, to the point, slightly comedic, slightly romantic, slightly heart-warming. But I have watched it over 20 times. The reason is Shahrukh Khan.This was Shahrukh before Baazigar, before Darr and more importantly, before DDLJ. This was Shahrukh Khan raw. This was him before the audiences found him lovable and adored him. This was him before he was able to floor girls with just a look and a smile. This was SRK before he became a star.As said by another reader, SRK breathes life into the character of Sunil. Sunil is a guy we all know, we all are. He is the common man. He has weaknesses, he isn't rich, or particularly handsome and he's sometimes willing to go the wrong way to achieve something.The movie is filled with ridiculous situations (the Chinese theme bar!!!) and characters (Anthony Gomez) but SRK fights it all and shines through. I recommend this movie to all people who watch SRK today and say that he keeps doing the same kind of roles. It is a brilliant performance.

manoj agrawal Being such huge fans of 'Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron' I still remember the excitement when we (some friends and I) went to watch this movie. It was after a gap of 10 years that Kundan Shah had come out with a movie and we couldn't wait to watch it. Though we found 'Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naan' to be OK but were disappointed as it was nothing like 'Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron'. But I give credit to Kundan Shah for his judgment on not trying to repeat 'Jaane Bhi Do Yaron' again because it is difficult to recreate magic.Caught 'Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naan' on cable couple of years later and since this time I knew what to expect, I quite enjoyed the film. I watched it again and this time I enjoyed it more. That's the thing about this movie; it grows on you. It's like a friendly face in the neighborhood that the more you see the more you like. Now I consider this as one of my favorite movies that I can watch from any point and enjoy it.It's the story of youth with all its elements; the unrequited love, the ambition to do something different, the generation gap etc. But it is the characters and situations that are so real and so delightful that you can identify with most of them from your own personal life. The humor is subtle and will make you smile and at the most chuckle. Performance wise everyone does a fine job. Jatin Lalit's music is melodious and pleasant, but I must admit that I have a bias against Kumar Sanu's voice so I would have preferred someone else to sing the songs.
