Love is in the air for the senior citizens as well.
Dramatic scenes where lovers lie to each other, their spouses. With the pretense of being 'friends' who want to 'help each other save their respective marriages', they are, of course, clearly on the road to a little some'n some'n.
#KABHI ALVIDA NAA KEHNA SCENES MOVIE#
Interestingly, rather than the sunny Rishi and Rhea falling for each other, the movie shows us the blossoming love between the depressed Maya and Dev. She is, like Rishi, in a bit of a lopsided relationship, as she's married to the man-shrew, Dev (Shah Rukh Khan), who, after a spectacular car accident early in the film which ends his dreams of becoming David Beckham, hobbles around like Gregory House, hating the world and himself. Meanwhile, Rhea (Preity Zinta) is a go-get-'em fashion magazine queen she's a sunny, successful businesswoman, a model for us all. Maya, however, is Frosty, Queen of Ice, and interminably dour. The story is this: Rishi (Abhishek Bachchan) is a happy-go-lucky guy who loves life and loves his wife, Maya (Rani Mukherjee). (For you at home keeping score, that makes Shah Rukh Khan - 5, PPCC - 0. well, it's not that overbearing), and Shah Rukh Khan's powers beat us again, for we cried. We were a little surprised then: the story is presented with sensitivity and a light, deft touch (rather than overbearing melodrama.

It was like having the Friends season finale, going on and on and on. Since we watched this movie in half-hour snatches throughout an otherwise busy but boring day, we would say it was digestible. The music climbs to a climax: Dev dodges into the train, sits, and then -Īdmittedly, you have to wait three hours and five minutes for this piece of conventional cinema gold. The camera zooms, we see Dev stop in his tracks while Maya asks someone for help. The camera swoops, we see Maya running while Dev hustles through the crowds. Quick! The train leaves in one minute, and if you don't catch him now, YOU'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO TELL HIM YOU LOVE HIM! (Mobile phones and Hallmark cards don't have quite the same effect.) Thanks to some tragic misunderstandings, Dev has actually seen Maya and is quickly limping away, trying to avoid her. With sweeping choral voices to accompany the slow-motion chase, Maya (Rani Mukherjee) races through the station, saree flowing behind, searching frantically for her love, Dev (Shah Rukh Khan). It was even already an hour earlier in this same movie. life itself.The best scene in the 3-hour soap opera, Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna ( Never Say Goodbye), is the classic train station finale. If you stick to it long enough, you will reach where you want to go.
