Kuch Kuch Hota Hai exploded on the scene in 1998 with bubblegum colours, product placement, and a surprise guest star. It was a heady brew of catchy Bollywood tunes set in an impossibly hep fictional Indian college, and a love triangle with echoes of Archie, Betty, and Veronica. It attempted to bridge modernity and tradition, gender roles, love, marriage, and children—with different degrees of success. Or failure? Relive it with us and decide.
Rani Mukerji's NRI character singing "Jai Jagadeesh Hare" to prove Indianness, Kajol's "tomboy" look vis-a-vis attractiveness and suitability for matrimony, and the (impossible?) ideals set for love and marriage, and the role a young daughter has to shoulder. These are some of the talking points for which our boys are joined by FDFS' first guest, Ishani.
Enjoy the show.
