“Zindagi mein agar kuch banna ho, kuch haasil karna ho, kuch jeetna ho … toh hamesha dil ki suno … aur agar dil bhi koi jawab na de toh aankhen band karke apni maa aur papa ka naam lo … phir dekhna har manzil paar kar jaoge, har mushkil aasaan ho jayegi … jeet tumhari hogi, sirf tumhari.”
Remember this iconic dialogue Shah Rukh Khan said in Kabhi Khushi Khabhie Gham? I bet you do.
It was in the year 2001 when ace director Karan Johar blessed us with a gem, K3G! A movie that taught us how to love our parents, love our country and love our partners even if it’s against our parents’ will. LOL!
On a serious note, K3G gave us wardrobe goals, icon dialogues, peppy song and well, Poo! The film completed 17 years today and looks like our K3G hangover will never get over! We learnt how to be self-confident from Poo because, kaun yeh jisne dubaara mudke mujhe nahi dekha? We still find ourselves quoting dialogues and impersonating the characters from the film. Is that the power of a good film or the power of the Raichands?
Karan Johar took to his Instagram to share a video reminising moments from Kabhi Khushi Khabhie Gham to celebrate 17 years in the industry.
Today, we thought was the perfect day to revisit it to see if it was really that perfect? But nobody’s really perfect. We managed to find some mistakes that would probably have gone unnoticed back then. Read on to find out!
1. Delhi Looked A Lot Like The UK, No?
The Raichands were a rich family staying in Delhi, but how come every time they stepped out of their house and it looked like they were in Scotland? Magic!
2. School Uniforms In College
Which undergrad college in or around Delhi has school uniforms? Karan Johar Public School!
3. No Mud On Your Shoes If You’re Hrithik Roshan
Hrithik aka Rohan was playing a cricket match for over one hour, but his shoes had no dirt on it? I want such shoes, too!
4. Third Eye To Watch TV?
Amitabh Bachchan’s office has a television which is placed right behind his hair. I wonder how he watched it?
5. Flirting > Brother
Shah Rukh (Rahul) keeps flirting with Kajol (Anjali) even after his little brother Rohan comes running to him seeking his help. “Bhaiya, mere peeche gunde pade hain,” warrants some attention, doesn’t it?
6. Valleys Near Chandni Chowk?
You can see valleys in the backdrop while Kajol claims that she’s roaming around in Chandni Chowk market. Some intern screwed up at the editing table.
7. Case Of The Moving Vase
Kajol ends up breaking a prestigious flower vase even though she was miles away from it in the scene before it. Did she have a magical braid?
8. Guess Who? Hint: Pronoun
Amitabh Bachchan asks son Shah Rukh to get married to ‘that’ girl as ‘she’ will be a perfect fit in the family and ‘she’ loves him too much. But who’s she? You never know and neither does SRK!
9. BAAP Of All Body Transformations
Hrithik transformed into the most handsome boy in 10 years. Puberty hit him like a truck. I am not sure if you’d want to watch the road when you cross it now. Haha!
10. FindAFriend.com
Screw Facebook! FindAFriend.com can help you find anyone on the globe and also get their address. But don’t tell the stalkers, please.
11. There’s Wind Lashing Against Poo’s Hair Even In Her Bedroom
How are these people able to control the weather inside their bedroom? Not fair!
12. The Magical Jacket
Poo leaves the house without a jacket and in the very next scene, she steps out of her house wearing one. That Jacket is her version of Batmobile. It comes automatically when you need it.
13. Love At First Ignorance?
Who falls madly in love with someone only and only because they royally ignored you? Poo and friends dedicate a whole song to Hrithik and well, the entire college joins in.
14. Bollywood Logic 101: Screw Road Safety
Is there no traffic police in London? Rohan and Rahul NEVER wear seatbelts.
15. Tongue Twisters Work Better Than Almonds
Poo recognises Rohan after 10 long years because he could recite a tongue twister? Please learn Chandu Ke Chacha if you’re going to meet a friend after a long time.
16. Poo Is Reverse Cinderella
Remember the scene where Poo wears a red crop top and red pants teamed with a pair of different footwear? Looks like Poo is Cinderella in reverse. Cinderella loses her shoe at a party, but Poo manages to find her matching pair at the party.
17. Boarding School Skills Be Damned
Rohan went to a boarding school but never learnt to tie his shoelaces? All he did was transform into a hot shot! Wow!
Nonetheless, the movie was amazing! Keh diya na? Bas, keh diya.
