About this movie

This is the story of Rahul (Shah Rukh Khan) and Anjali (Kajol) who studied in St. Xavier's College. Anjali being a tomboy got along very well with Rahul and the other boys - Rahul being her best friend. Being so close to each other, Rahul and Anjali would have probably fallen in love, however the reasons why this did not happen was because they were having a very good time being best buddies and then Tina (Rani Mukerjee) the Principal's daughter came into their lives. For Anjali, Tina was a third member of their gang, however, for Rahul - his life was never the same - he fell in love with her.
Anjali was finally beginning to fall in love with Rahul, and when she gathers courage to tell Rahul about her feelings, Rahul informs Anjali in his usual friendly manner, that he was falling in love with Tina, totally oblivious of his best friends' feelings for him. Broken hearted Anjali decides to leave the college mid-term making up an excuse. It is at this point that Tina having always suspected Anjali's true feelings for Rahul realizes why she was actually leaving.
The film revolves around the story being narrated to Little Anjali (Sana Saeed), Rahul and Tina's eight year old daughter through the letters her mother has left for her when she died due to complications at child birth. Tina tells her daughter to fulfill her dream to bring back her father and Anjali together - best friends who would have eventually fallen in love and who have not seen each other for the past nine years.

The film begins with Rahul (Shah Rukh Khan) mourning his wife Tina (Rani Mukerji). Tina has left letters for her daughter, Anjali (Sana Saeed), the last of which tells the story of how Tina accidentally came in between Rahul and his college best friend, also named Anjali, and asks young Anjali to try to find the adult Anjali (Kajol) and bring her and Rahul together. When they meet again, Anjali and Rahul have immediate attraction, but Anjali is already engaged to Aman (Salman Khan). The plot of this sweet film is enjoyable, if predictable, and while the musical numbers weren't exceptional, they were still good. The story is divided into two parts: college life and adult life. Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol do a wonderful job playing both college students and mature adults. Kajol's emotional acting was also good. Sana Saeed, in her first role, was the life of the movie, though. Overall, while I don't see why it has become a classic, it is an example of Bollywood at it's best.
