K3G has some fine writing, etched-out characters, textured moments and, at least in the first half, a well-paced screenplay.

The film literally lives up to its name-making you laugh and cry alternately. The narrative is interspersed with sumptuous song-'n-dance items that appear with rhythmic precision.

A well made film, with some magical moments (hilarious and weepy) and possibly the world's best looking family!

It makes total sense why Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham has become a classic.

Beneath all the primadonna flair, though, you could tell that Kapoor Khan got the brief. She oozed context...

3.5/4

The [sappy] tagline, 'It's all about loving your parents,' hardly does Johar's skillful, delicate balancing act any justice.

It’s Bollywood perfection. The sentiment, the themes, the tenderness with which the themes are dealt with, the feeling of NRIs towards India living abroad. It’s an emotional roller coaster that I’ve seen over 50 times and every time there is something new I get from it. My recommendation is that if you’re introducing someone to Bollywood, it’s not the one to start with but if they get to it, they’ll be sold hook line and sinker.

It's a classic for a reason. It is the quintessential Bollywood romance-drama, keeping you entertained throughout and getting you emotional when needed.
