Kabhi Alvidaa Naa Kehna

2 unhappy couples(SRK-Priety, Abhishek-Rani). 1 from each find solace in another's company. So u have 1 new bond. Here u don't find a strong reason(according to Indian perspective) for the new bond formation.

Here's the reason: Rani is confused about her love for Abhishek even before marriage and her impotency only adds fuel to the confusion. Also, she doesn't feel Abhishek to be mature enough for her. SRK feels low when his career ends abruptly and priety zooming past him in career.

And so, u have 1 new bond from the 2 unhappy couples. Having watched closer, some scenes(may be the entire plot) bring a sense of dejavu, especially the one in which Abhishhttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt0376541/ek confronts Rani about her sex life. Nothing great about acting, music, direction, screenplay. Just ok. In fact, first half an hour is boring. I wasn't sure if I could complete the movie. From then, u have 2 good scenes comes and pat follows a mediocre scene till the end

U have big stars and comes the big moolah from crowds especially NRIs for it's close NRI sensibilities. Indian crowds are split in reaction. If the same plot/theme comes from 'vishesh films', it would have a better reach. Never in your wild dreams do u expect this from KJ-SRK combo who earlier gave us the 'happily ever after' endings/movies. If u want to enjoy the movie, don't be judgemental and for the movie long time, think/live [u r] in NewYork.
