First Bombay movie at Majestic Cinema
By Susitha R. Fernando
The first Hindi movie Kal Ho Naa Ho (Tomorrow may not be) will be screened at the Majestic cinema in Colombo with three shows from September 24 at 10.30 am, 3.00pm and 7.00pm.

The musical romantic starring Jaya Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Saif Ali Khan and Preity Zinta is by producer, Yash Johar of Kuch Kuch Ho Tha Hai and Kabi Kushi Kabi Gham fame. The film is directed by Nikhil Advani.

The film won the Best Actress award at the Indian International Film Festival held in Singapore for Preity Zinta and it won a majority of fourteen Film Fare awards including awards for Best Actress and Music Director at the last Film Fare festival.

For Naina Catherine Kapur (Preity Zinta), life is cold and grey as it 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.
