Only got through a third of the movie, but I think I've seen enough. K3G's got nothing special to offer to the table content wise. It's simply another regressive emotional potboiler with a dreary excess of "feel-good" songs sprinkled in between. A strong emphasis on family values is placed, but it feels too forced and didactic, which will easily bore the audience. SRK and Kajol overact as usual, and the rest of the actors are strictly average. The cinematography is impressive, but that's gonna be a given since Karan Johar is at the helm. The movie drags at a snail's pace, and I simply could not absorb the fakeness and disconnectedness that this movie possessed from reality. I understand that these kinds of movies are supposed to serve as "escapes", but I'm pretty sure that the same core message this movie harps about could easily be conveyed within a more realistically shot and scripted movie. I may have lost a few brain cells watching this movie, but at least I know to avoid such sorts of emotional potboilers in the future.

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.

KKKG is a typical Shah Rukh Khan romantic film. Rich and lavish lifestyles, good locations, expensive and fancy costumes, cheesy dialogues, some overacting, and nice music. I honestly don't see why people like KKKG so much, it's really overrated actually.First of all, the story is similar to what we have seen from SRK many times before: A man going against his peers or society because of love. I mean, the story was stupid, predictable, and cliché filled. SRK promises Amitabh that he'll marry whoever Amitabh chooses, but then has to end up falling in love with Kajol, the one person Amitabh does not want him to marry. This problem is made into a big deal and SRK leaves the home. We've seen SRK get into romantic trouble many times before. And when Hrithik came in and started saying all these dumb lines about family togetherness it made it even more cheesy. The performances in this film bugged me. SRK was the same as he is 95% of the time, the same overacting romantic who gets annoying to me. Kajol got irritating as the loud Punjabi woman, Kareena Kapoor's character was dumb and annoying, Jaya Bhaduri did alright in her little role without much talking, Hrithik, who is a talented actor; he even got a bit annoying, but he did pretty well in emotional scenes. Amitabh stood out the most because of his intensity; even in his small role. One thing I also didn't like was how they made Amitabh's character seem so bad, just like in Mohabbatein (which also sucked).The one thing I did like in this movie were the songs. But that's really about it. Karan Johar is honestly one of the most overrated people in Bollywood along with Shah Rukh Khan. Now I know SRK can do good at times, but in films like these (which are most of his films) he gets annoying. Only watch this film if you are a romantic or a SRK fan.

In many ways this is very typical Bollywood. Boy meets girl. Boy fall in love with girl. Boy upsets family. Boy and girl are cast out, etc, etc. In that respect it is cast from the same mould as thousands of other Bollywood films over the decades. However, on the flip site, it has a cast that can pull this off in style. For a variety of reasons each cast member plays their part superbly from Shah Rukh Khan, who is rarely anything buy excellent, through to Kajol and Kareena Kapoor who both sizzle beautifully each time they are on screen. Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bhaduri are superb as the parents, and even Hrithik Roshan manages to be much more than just some male eye candy for the ladies. The whole family values thing is well worked and there are many messages about pride and brotherly love that will resonate with all ages. In short, if you're looking for a great film for all the family to watch then you can't go far wrong with this one.
