Healthy entertainer

Nikhil Advani deserves all praises for telling the story without making it mushy and yet not compromising on the emotional quotient at the same time. Karan Johar-SRK combination works for the third time. (more)

Complete entertainer.

Kal Ho Naa Ho is good. It has plenty of touching moments, a generous dose of humour, great performances and good music. In short, it has all the sugarcoated ingredients of a typical Karan Johar film. (more)
