Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express Karan Johar's debut, starring Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol and Rani Mukherji, turned future Bollywood romances firmly towards a shiny GAP aesthetic. Aug 17, 2021 Full Review Nick Bradshaw Time Out For well over two hours the film is hectically entertaining, its performances, camerawork, storytelling and extensive musical numbers all energetically colourful. May 5, 2015 Full Review Katherine Singh Refinery29 Years pass and the pair reconnect, but you’ll have to watch the film for all the juicy details. This movie features a ton of funky (and sometimes cringe-inducing) '90s fashion. Oct 4, 2022 Full Review Film4 There are no prizes for guessing exactly how the film concludes, but all that really matters is that we enjoy getting there. May 15, 2015 Full Review David Parkinson Radio Times Karan Johar's directorial debut was much hyped before its release, but it offers little to distinguish it from the average Bollywood melodrama. Rated: 2/5 May 5, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews

Serena K My fav childhood movie alongside K3G and Kaho naa pyaar hai <3 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/03/24 Full Review Muntha Hanif M The first half was great and depressing. But the child ruined it all. 1. she went to the mothers house and tould, her daugther Should marry her father. 2. she was reading the quran and praying, even though shes a hindu. Thats an disrespect to there religeon, just because she her to get married with the father 3. she went to summer camp even if the father didnt allow her. So terrible plot and an anoying cast. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/21/24 Full Review Lilly B This movie changed my life. SO GOOD! And the music is absolutely amazing. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/24 Full Review Meydiana R Excellent This is the movie that introduced me to the wonderful world of Indian Cinema. I was 6 years old when I first saw Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and I instantly fell in love with it. I have since lost count of the number of times that I have watched it. This was director Karan Johar's debut movie. Talk about starting of with a bang. This movie is perfection. It lives up to it's tag line. They'll make you laugh..They'll make you cry...They'll even make you fall in love. It made me do all of these things. The songs are wonderful. The acting was fantastic. I love Kajol in this movie. She steals the show. I heard that Twinkle Khanna was actually considered as the first choice to play Anjali. That would have been the biggest mistake as I can't envision anyone else playing the role of Anjali besides Kajol. Shah Rukh Khan was also good. He was less irritating back then. His performance actually had some soul behind it. Rani was the perfect choice for Tina. Looking back at this movie now the only aspect that seems a bit redundant is the choreography. But you can't blame Farah Khan as things like dance moves revolutionizes with time. On a whole this is a beautiful piece of cinema and all I can say to Karan Johar and his entire cast and crew is thank. Thank you for making Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and giving me and the world one of the greatest stories ever told.
