A classic romantic comedy replete with good performances, lilting melodies, warm memorable scenes… KHKN is as fun and cozy as it gets in the movies. And with that, Eye for India screens its first Shah Rukh Khan. |

Over time, it steadily acquired a cult following on VHS and Television until it spun itself into a bonafide legend. A absurd, outrageously comical tale of two down-on-their-luck photographers who get embroiled with mercenary builders, corrupt cops, an apathetic municipality and the sell-out press, JBDY ever after over two decades since it’s release still rings potent, true and very very very very very funny. |

The film opens with them about to commit the act when they’re interrupted and are forced to postpone their deaths by six hours. What happens in this gratuitous period of six hours is the subject matter of the film. Without any flashbacks, the film brings out the essence of their lives which has led them to this decision. It explores all their joys and sorrows, and mainly, their zest for life even when the death is virtually knocking at their door. They shouldn’t have died. None of these girls should have ever died. How these tragedies can be avoided is the hope and vision of this film. |
