Karan Johar may be second attempt i think so, wow great screenplay and wonderful characters almost big stars in one home. Mother and Children love emotional scenes so beautiful. Mostly movie is moving with one family and few other characters. Sharukh and Kajol they proved again they are best jodi of bollywood. Their chemistry,fun making scenes absolutely fantastic. Hats off to Music director, lovely music mesmerize bgm and classic songs to audience.Karan Johar always took in his film Shrukh and Kajol jodi to show best couple,pair on screen it proved every time. His story narration is slow but its great to sit 3.30 hrs in theater. Finally movie is a small happy family and small misunderstands... a beautiful ending.

I have personally watched several movies that I haven't enjoyed, but this movie made its mark. This is by far the worst cinema Bollywood has ever delivered. Overacting is business as usual for Karan Johar movies. But I don't blame the director as people who like this movie are stupid.

K3G is directed by Karan Johar and stars an unbeatable cast: Amithabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Sharhukh Khan, Kajol, Hrithik Roshan, and Kareena Kapoor. 6 stars should mean an awesome movie, right? Well, the answer is yes because there's stuff to love but unfortunately, also stuff that's just not that good. About the acting, out of the 6 leads, I only really liked 3 of the performances: SRK, Hrithik, and Jaya Bachchan. They really gave excellent performances, especially Hrithik Roshan. Amithabh, Kajol, and Kareena were pretty much overacting to the point of insanity for the entire movie and it got kind of irritating. I could tolerate Amithabh and Kajol's overacting, but by the time it got to Kareena Kapoor, I almost wanted to turn it off. I really mean that even though I really like this movie. Her introduction into the film was so ridiculously unnecessary and just cringe-worthy. The story is masterful. A father and son are estranged from each other and the younger son has to bring the family back together. I think Karan Johar handled this story excellently. The songs are really well handled, my favorite being "Bole Chudiyan." But there were so many songs that it felt like there were songs almost every 10 minutes. The comedy for the most part worked. There were tears about to come to my eyes in a couple of scenes. Also the movie is way too long. A lot of unnecessary scenes could have been cut out.I really enjoyed K3G. The 2 major problems I had with the film was the excessive overacting, especially Kareena Kapoor's, and the film's lengthy run time. That's why Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham gets a B.

Read the other reviews, and you will get a sense of how beautiful this film is, how beautiful its actors, how delightful its dance sequences.However, at the end, the cold-blooded, willful, sexist, bullying father reconciles with his son by first *blaming* *him* for obeying him when he threw him out and then by *again* *blaming* *him*, this time for feeling hurt when his father hurt him. Only after this does he apologize.This scene occurs not long after another scene in which one of the father's indirect victims whimpers that her life is worthless without having a father or father-in-law to submit to. She has a loving husband, a loving child, a loving sister, a loving mother, but she ignores all that to consider her life worthless because she has no father-in-law *to* *submit* *to*.These scenes leave such a bad taste that most people will never be able to stomach watching the film a second time. The few who do watch it again will probably imitate a friend of mine, who watches it but always shuts off the DVD just before the final scenes and pretends they occur in a less morally distasteful fashion.Of course, I have one acquaintance (not a friend) who enjoys the film because he thinks it is a father's right to be cold-blooded, willful, sexist, and bullying, and he dislikes the ending because he doesn't think the father should have apologized at all. So some people may actually enjoy the ending, I guess.
