For men and women, sort of like a generalised styling brief given to the costume departments.

Rhea is also casually dressed in low-cut tops with flimsy jackets, lots of beaded accessories and beachy waves that make her look unnecessarily informal.

It’s not even about just the women, even the men in the movie are overdressed. I forgot Arjun Rampal was in this movie, but let’s proceed. She’s even doing household chores like washing dishes in this outfit. We’re all in quarantine, does this make sense? I am a little shooketh.

Take this scene where Maya and Rishi are at home and Maya is seen with a full blow-out, eye-shadowed makeup lewks and a black slinky dress that she’s apparently wearing AT HOME. Is this Manish Malhotra? Round 2 As the story proceeds, we are shown more overdressed situations. Check out the lehenga we see Maya wearing-we agree she’s meant to be rich but this lehenga is next level. There’s Maya ( Rani Mukherji) and Rishi’s (Abhishek) wedding that is happening in the background and the iconic scene between Dev ( SRK) and Maya that happens here.

Preity Zinta a.k.a Rhea enters where she is seen wearing the most OTT outfit you can imagine, even for New York standards. A football game with a packed stadium, casual sexist banter between father and son ( quite literally, Amitabh and Abhishek Bachchan share the strangest relationship in the movie) From the first shot, there is a lot happening. We’re not discussing plotlines and problems because that would take another 100 years, which I am not willing to give. Since I wasted another weekday watching this crap, might as well start from the beginning. For me, it wasn’t Student Of The Year, it wasn’t Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, it was the golden Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna where everyone seemed to be dressed like they’ve got a fashion show to attend in 5 mins. However, even amongst his movies, there has to be one where the styling was just so extra, everyone needed to calm TF down. On Wednesday, Karan marked the film's 15th anniversary with a message on social media, in which he wrote, "A film that will always remain extremely special to me.Karan Johar always spends a lot of his production budget on styling, we all know that. Karan's last film as a feature film director was Ae Dil Hai Mushkil in 2016, but he recently announced that he'd be making a comeback with Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahaani, starring Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt. While some scenes in the film are very strong, and impactful, others are perhaps catering, which they shouldn't have."Īlso read: Karan Johar recalls signing all K3G stars within 24 hours: Shah Rukh Khan didn't read script, Kajol cried The result is that it has a neither here nor there feeling. It took away the intimacy and paved the way for the mainstream. Some parts were over-cast, some parts were opulent for no reason. I think I let many moments of that film down. Like if you read the screenplay of Kabhi Alvida, it's infinitely superior to the film.

The other thing is that I'd written the characters very differently and then stars stepped in, and I started adhering to star imagery and persona, over and above core content. Karan added, "The root of Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna was a relationship-based film it was an intimate film about two couples.

And I think I should've just been one person, with one solid conviction." So just like my sun sign, which is Gemini, I became two people. I think I tried to do two things I tried to do something fresh, and interesting, and ground-breaking, but halfway through I also got scared. And I think the mistakes in that film are entirely mine. I think Kabhi Alvida has some of my favourite moments, personally, as a filmmaker. He said, "I will always regret some things. The film, starring Shah Rukh Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Rani Mukerji, Preity Zinta and Amitabh Bachchan, told the stories of two married couples.Īt a press event in 2016, Karan Johar said that he got swayed from the 'core content' of the story when stars came on board, and he got distracted by upholding their onscreen images. Karan Johar's Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna celebrated its 15th anniversary on Wednesday.
