I hated that movie… sexist tripe. SRK falls for the sexy Rani ignoring the tomboyish Kajol. It’s only when Kajol is domesticated and turned into another typical Hindi heroine… long hair, flowing sarees and full makeup that SRK notices her, and with Rani conveniently dead can now have his cake and eat it too. And why would Kajol be pining for him for 10 odd years? Blech. My girls will NOT be watching this.

LMAO I was wondering why Salman Khan disappeared too. I don’t think this is an awful idea. It’s for children. My future children might never appreciate my favorite Bwood movies from the 90s. But they can appreciate it if they see it in their own context. It’s sad to admit, but when DJ Suketu remixes songs from the 70s and 80s and then I listen to the original version…I understand what my parents are talking about when they miss their generations music. Without DJ Suketu, I might never listen to “Meri Nazar Mein Tu Hai” or “Bin Tere Sanam”. Same idea with this movie, IMO.

Karan Johar decided he wanted to remake KKHH almost exactly like the originalâ€¦but with animated dogs in the lead roles.

I keep waiting for someone to tell me this is an April Fools' joke....

Why? Dear god, why?

Is it me, or are Indian movies morphing into 4-hour long episodes of Saved By The Bell?

I personally think it is great that Bollywood is willing to experiment. There are lot of great and experimental movies coming out from Bollywood these days. And for all SRK, Karan Johar bashers, his movies rake lot more money abroad than in India. So before criticizing film makers, South Asians in US should look at themselves who endorse or watch such movies instead of good Bollywood cinema.

"I think its a good idea for Bollywood to venture into different types of films and supposedly "western" medias (i.e. cartoons in this case.)"

This is not Bollywood "venturing" into cartoons-- there is already a feature-length Bollywood cartoon that came out in 2005-- "Hanuman" as well as a sequal "Hanuman Returns" in 2007.

Marketing genius! And after seeing what’s out there for the filler entertainment for kids, it’s not really that bad a crime against cinema. What better way to escape the ravages of time for aging stars too?

SRI is fugly. I'm a gay man and have never found him attractive. Rather than promoting lead toxic skin cream lightners, he could go to Tehran and have some rhinoplasty done.

I find this remake cute. Bollywood is commercial, not the home of fine art and world class cinema; so I'm not surprised. During the 1980s and 1990s, the Chinese government patronized Fifth Generation cinema which produced world class cinema both loved by Chinese audiences and Western critics. When I want fantasy, Bollywood will suffice. When I want quality cinema from Asia, I look to Iran and China.

What about being a Psycho? Anjaam or Darr

Definitely. He actually did Don some justice.

Regarding Bollywood- serious innovation is desperately needed. And I don't mean more skin, more "exotic" (re: Miami) locales, or more music. Cultural crossover is one thing- cheap, routine plagiarizing is another.
