Misery loves company and both these despondent people get together to find a solution to make their respective marriages work but find solace in each others company instead. Till fate, presumably quite tired of the gloom of the former and rants of the latter, decides to introduce one to the other. No amount of effort put in by their better halves (literally speaking) is enough to make the marriages of Maya and Dev work. He shares a great relationship with his flirtatious, fun-loving father Samarjit Talwar (Amitabh Bachchan has outdone himself) or “Sexy Sam” as he is known. Besides being obliged she isn’t strong enough to say “No” to the marriage and goes ahead with it despite all her misgivings and is fully aware of the fact that she doesn’t, nor ever will, love Abhishek.Ībhishek Bachchan plays Rishi Talwar, a successful, easy going, event manager who loves his wife to bits and does everything that he can, which includes bringing her flowers, paying her compliments, clowning around, indulging her Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders, among other things, to make her happy and see her smile. She marries Abhishek as an obligation, as she states at the very start because Abhishek and his Dad (Amitabh Bachchan) took her in and brought her up since she was a kid.
#Kabhi alvida naa kehna meaning how to
A repressed, confused, dissatisfied, nursery teacher who doesn’t know how to handle life’s bounties and finds ways to be miserable. That attitude seeps into all areas of his life, whether it is his relationship with his wife and child or with complete strangers. He resents every person he comes across because he resents himself the most. When a person doesn’t have anything else going for him, his ego takes over so is the case here too. Dev is an extremely cruel, cynical, and bitter person whose ego rules him. Just like his knee, he too never recovered fully from this incident/accident. A major league football player who had just signed a 5 million dollar contract when a freak accident smashed his knee, his dreams, and his self-esteem to smithereens.

She goes about doing just that and at the same time tries her best to keep her marriage alive in her own subtle way. At the same time not make him realize it. She is a strong woman who understands that she is the one who has to bring in the bread, butter, and caviar to the table, after her husband’s accident. A confident, successful magazine editor married to a bitter, cynical football coach, Dev. I am clueless about why people complained that the characters were half-baked or not fleshed out enough. Rishi (what-is-this-woman’s-problem) Talwar. Maya (I-don’t-know-what-I-want-but-crave-for-it-anyways) Rhea (I-refuse-to-be-apologetic-for-being-happy-and-successful) Saran.
#Kabhi alvida naa kehna meaning movie
I walked in to the movie with Vandana’s eight reasons and from the first scene itself I became part of the lives ofĭev (I-am-going-to-rain-on-everyone’s-parade)

Then I happened to read this wonderful review by fellow-Caferatian Vandana Vasudevan and I couldn’t wait to see it!! Nothing, not even Abhishek Bachchan as part of the cast, could change my decision. The bad press that ‘Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna’ ( KANK) got from Day 1 was the reason I preferred to give it a miss.
