Kuch Kuch Hota Hai Anjali, tum nahi samjhogi!
Karan Johar’s directorial debut Kuch Kuch Hota Hai that starred one of our favourite trios – Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol and Rani Mukherji – has completed 20 long years today! The film gave us the iconic dialogue, pyaar dosti hai and dance movies with Koi Mil Gaya.
Today, on its 20th anniversary, we revisit the film and look at all the mistakes in the film like the biggest irony ever – Rahul touches our heart when he says, “Hum ek baar jeete hain, ek baar marte hai, shaadi bhi ek hee baar hoti hai, aur pyaar… pyaar bhi ek hee baar hota hai.” But he ends up falling in love twice and also marrying twice. Rahul is a cheater, he is a cheater. CHEATER!
1. Flawed Basketball Rules
Did Rahul and Anjali dribble the ball at all? It’s like they played more rugby than basketball on the court.
2. Anjali Knows How Tina Looks Without Having Met Her Ever
Facebook wasn’t there back then, right? Then how?
3. When Did Tina Come Back From London?
Tina’s dad says that she’s coming back from London the same day, but Tina says she came back from London a day before. Communication deficit!
4. The Magical Skateboard
The time when Rahul and Tina bumped into each other, everything in Tina’s hand fell on the floor. Rahul kept his skateboard behind Tina but when he got up, he took the skateboard from the front. It’s magic.
5. Rahul, Anjali And Tina Slay On Stage Without Any Rehearsal
The trio composes a song and comes up with lyrics on the spot and give a spectacular performance on stage because of Bollywood!
6. Clean Stage In The Song Koi Mil Gaya
Remember how Rahul and Anjali’s bad lip syncing earned them rotten tomatoes from the audience? Then how did the trio dance on a clean stage moments later?
7. Rahul Is Our Desi Flash
Rahul ran too far from the platform when he was asking Anjali to stop and get off the train. But in the very next shot, he is seen on the platform with Tina standing behind him holding the iconic red dupatta. How did he get back so fast?
8. Tina Doesn’t Look Like She’s Dying
The doctor tells Rahul that Tina has severe internal bleeding and is in a very critical condition, but she looks just fine when she’s holding her baby girl in her arms talking to her mother-in-law.
9. No One Shows Up At Tina’s Pyre
Neither her own father? That’s strange and disturbing.
10. The Birthday Letters
Tina wrote eight letters for her newborn, Anjali. Anjali is shown reading the last one on her 8th birthday, which means she read one every birthday. HOW? I could barely talk when I was one.
11. Tina Was Psychic
Tina predicted that Anjali will be waiting and available for Rahul eight years later. How did she know that?
12. Tina Is Omnipresent!
Tina writes about instances that didn’t even happen in front of her in great detail in her letters to her daughter Anjali. How?
13. Little Anjali Has About 6 Clocks In Her Room
Because one clock alone wouldn’t tell the right time, no?
14. An 8-Year-Old Anjali Goes To Meet Her Dad Alone Without Being Accompanied By An Adult
Are 8-year-olds really that smart? They can travel in local trains alone and arrange for cabs? Wow!
15. The Shape-Shifting Engagement Ring
The ring that Aman gives to Anjali was first shown as a ring with AUM. Later, it changed to a diamond-studded ring between shots and then later to something else. Magic!
16. Rahul Is Our Desi Flash 2.0
It takes about 25 hours to reach from Mumbai to Shimla via train. But Rahul reaches the summer camp before the morning prayers. WOW!
17. Banners In No Time
Anjali challenges Rahul for a basketball match at the summer camp. How did the kids at the camp make so many banners with Rahul and Anjali’s names on them in five minutes?
18. Mysterious Location Of The Basketball Court
Remember the basketball match where Rahul challenges Anjali at the summer camp? In one of the shots, we can see grass on both sides of the basketball court. In the other shot, a waterbody appears on the side of the court out of nowhere.
19. The Little Girl On Rahul’s Lap
There was no kid sitting on Rahul’s lap when Anjali was enacting a movie during Dumb Charades. In a millisecond, a little girl wearing a red sweatshirt is seen sitting on Rahul’s lap. WHAT?
20. Aman Is No Less Of A Magician
Aman knew exactly where to find Anjali after she blindly runs off into the woods from the summer camp. Or was he following her? Your guess is as good as ours.
