has been ever since a family tragedy shook her world. She falls
into a mess with constant bickering in her half Punjabi, half catholic
household and her grandmothers temper. Having to look after her
little sister and brother and help her mother (Jaya Bachchan) deal
with the family’s financial troubles - Naina has no time for
things like parties, fun or herself... she is twenty three. She
is serious, she is boring.
Enter
Aman Mathur (Shah Rukh Khan) like a whiff of fresh air, he moves
into their tiny Indian neighbourhood to take it over; helping others
resolve their problems, face life’s little challenges, Aman
has all the answers. Much to Naina’s irritation, he insists
on interfering in her life too...
Aman
pushes Naina into doing things she would never dream of doing. He
nags her till she learns to smile. He conspires with friend Rohit
(Saif Ali Khan), and eligible manhattan bachelor to help find her
happiness.
Kal
Ho Naa Ho is the story of Aman, Rohit and Naina’s journey
together; how they discover themselves, find the courage to love
and come together to celebrate life. |
