Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna

Poor Karan (Johar) received a lot of flak from his loyal audience. How could someone who has always made movies about family values, being together...etc, actually propagate any ema (extra-marital affair)
I beg to differ. Infact this, I thought, was one of his better movies, which called a spade a spade. A maturely handled ema. His mistake - how could he bring out in the open, a well practiced social taboo in the country. Is he nuts?!

The 2 most touching and unforgettable moments in the movie were, one, the old aging, winning horse, of Bollywood cinema lying helplessly on this death bed while delivering the dialogue "Mohabbat aur mauth, yeh dono hi bin bulaye mehmaan hain". Those soulful eyes convey every bit of emotion followed by "tum ussey chod do, kyonki tum ussey pyar nahin karti, aur tum ussey kisi aur ke pyar se door kar rahe ho"......how true!

The other, was when the betraying pair tell their respective spouse of their love interest. Their mates handle it in the most mature manner....no family drama or commotion (a la balaji telefilms). They accept it and move on. They are not shown as "demi Gods!"....nor are they shown as emotional wrecks.

A well told tale which says - "Live a relationship.....don't just survive it"
