Summary: Yashovardhan and Nandini Raichand (Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan), a wealthy couple are steeped in family values and traditions. Their two sons, Rahul (Shah Rukh Khan) and Rohan (Hrithik Roshan) share a warm relationship with each other and their parents. Yet, beneath the surface things are not what they seem. Rahul is an adopted child, who feels irrevocably tied to feelings of gratitude towards the couple who took in an orphan like him. When he falls in love with Anjali (Kajol) a middle-class girl living with her sister Pooja (Kareena Kapoor) and dad (Alok Nath), Yashovardhan Raichand strongly disapproves. But for Nandini, love is the guiding force. Conflicts mar the serene atmosphere and a grief-stricken Rahul decides to leave home…..
Review: Although this was not a favorite, it was still an excellent film. It is beautifully done in every way. There are a few suggestive dance scenes and one of the characters wears skimpy clothing through the 2nd half of the film. This seems to be more of a "girly" film than one you'd watch with guys and girls, if only for the reason that the guys might get bored.

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
