This is the good bit, as you recognize with sickening clarity those parental lectures about your plans for 'the future'. So we begin with a depiction of confusion, angst and general frustration over a world trying to pigeonhole a free spirit. We might call him names, but Karan is a sweet chap and like most college students, he is clueless about the rest of his life.

The film starts off one day in the life of a nimrod (Hrithik Roshan). In effect, there is no punch, no zing, no mood in particular that you're left with after the movie. Not least of all by the strange hairstyles.Īkhtar tries to do too much with three (yes, three) hours of reel, and ends up diluting the punch (punch intended). We went to meet it at the gate, hopefully, and were disappointed. Part of the reason for Dil Chahta Hai's major success was that it started off as just another film. Earlier nobody knew Javed Akhtar had a son who could make movies. On the whole, taken all around, it's better if the world expects nothing from you.
