20 years of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai at IFFM 2019 I Karan Johar I Rajeev Masand

At the tenth edition of the #IndianFilmFestivalofMelbourne in August, filmmaker #KaranJohar took a trip down memory lane to revisit his debut film #KuchKuchHotaHai, which recently completed 20 years. The filmmaker sat down with Rajeev Masand to share as-yet-unknown details and secrets from the making of the blockbuster.

[@sanchigulati2599]

I wonder if Karan Johar knows that people love him, and that twitter trolls r not his audience. He obvsly has a huge audience of his own.... people want to watch him hear him

[@saisresthdas1519]

U spoke my mind

[@sujatamahapatra9274]

Sp true..

[@shraddhakale6569]

Seriously I agree

[@vilearninglife4723]

Absolutely agree.

[@poulomibhattacharya315]

The transition from short hair to long hair, or from tomboy to saari didn't make Rahul fall for Anjali, though it may appear to be so. Remember that scene where Rahul reminiscences, jhalli thhi meri anjali. Also how he practiced basketball for 8 years, he missed her always : "jab mujhe mere dost ki zarurat thhi tum toh thhi hi nahi". He loved her always, he just couldn't realize it then as she was always an integral part of his life, Tina walks in, and he got attracted. The station scene when Anjali left also speaks a lot, not only did Tina but also the audience could read the pain in Rahul's eyes. The transition of Anjali speaks about the yrs she went through instead and worked on herself, how she thinks he could have liked her. Again its a no brainer, but love makes ppl do crazy things. You may call it stereotyped, outdated, too cliche or whatever, but those who have loved this classic will love it forever. Tumne sirf ussi se pyaar kiya hai, jab se tumne pyaar ko samjha hai pyaar ko jaana hai!!! P.S- I love Karan's honesty here!!

[@sharmichakraborty]

Poulomi Bhattacharya Now that’s a lovely way of understanding the characters.

[@kavyapatel19]

SOMEBODY REALLY REALLY NEEDED TO SAY THIS OUT!!!!! TOTALLY AGREEDDDD YES 🙌🏻

[@palashdesai5993]

His oratory skills are off the charts!! A lot to learn from... let's enjoy this one of kind personality before it's too late!

[@kalyaniyadav]

Karan Johar is real, I have always felt like hearing his thought, sometimes he goes ahead of himself, but he is such a delight, real and authentic guy.. accepting of himself and strangely of all criticisms, opinions..I cant fathom the thought of him being disliked..I dont see a reason why the man gets the slack or trolled..he manages to keep himself alive in a true sense, he knows his light is more than the darkness that might surround him..all love and cheers to you Karan Johar!!

[@shivanisinghal3531]

Mature Karan roasting young Karan is my favorite part

[@shivnathlongani]

Karan is so well mannered and so articulate in his speech. He is so misunderstood most of the time. But he is a really talented man.

[@ghostgirlhifi2380]

I don't care what people say about Karan... if you're reading this Karan I love you only because you are what you are...you never pretend..cheers mate!

[@passionspotatoes9182]

LOVED this interview Rajeev. Karan is a pleasure to listen to, so candid, so real, one of a kind!

[@shuchibatra2290]

I agree..

[@GeorgeTudu]

Making a blockbuster as your first film that people still love 20 years later and that too at the age of 25! I wonder how that must feel like. One thing Karan does better than making movies is talking, such an interesting personality.

[@canttouchthis5735]

There's nothing like a Rajeev Masand interview. Definitely my fix. ♥️😃🎉

[@vilearninglife4723]

I think Rahul saying pyaar ek hi baar hota hai and shadi ek hi baar karte hain and doing it twice was what made "love" so special for me. Love is this, it challenges your own beliefs, it makes you question everything that you believed to be true, it breaks you, shakes you and yet is the most soothing feeling ever. It's a pain that is soft to touch. It's anger that comes from heart. It's that tear that cleanses your eyes.

[@aksharaayyar6796]

Love watching Karan Johar interviews, especially this one. He is so self aware and forthcoming about sharing his experiences... and entertaining too!

[@positivelyhappymom3238]

I think salman still does the same. signing the film without hearing the script and leave it to the destiny

Karan is really fun to listen to. The interview is one hour long and you still end up wanting more.

[@Sal0123]

Admire the way Karan talks. So organic and natural

[@yogeshmishra3320]

We can hate Karan for many reasons, but we simply can't deny that he made some of best of Bollywood, he has certainly enough to inspire people.

[@TejaVL]

We can never hate him.. he is an amazing guy and straight forward

[@CLAPTRAPEntertainment]

Why would you hate someone without a reason ?

[@redcosmoss]

why hate him ?

[@PankajGupta-dv7en]

Why you hate him????

[@yogeshmishra3320]

I don't hate him as such but he certainly has this stigma of only promoting star kids and people with influence, I feel he can do better there.

[@KirtiSays]

Omg I love watching Karan interviews...he’s so candid and fun. I would’ve watched even if this interview was another hour or two.

[@handsomeheart2000]

Love the gift of gab of Karan Johar, he us a pro at Language and quick witty natural replies.

[@SRDhain]

This was a great interview. Karan's on point at around 37 minutes where he talks about managing the artistic processes; making art without compromise is a tough gig. Thank you for sharing this, Rajeev.

I now a lot of people don't like Karan or his films, but he is SO interesting to listen to.

[@joyouslife09]

So true, none other than Rani could have played Tina better..she's short in height but she's a powerhouse of talent and her entire filmography proves that! ❤️

[@daddyissues_india]

Agree.... Rani is a powerhouse of performance..... she's short-height but as an actress she stands as tall as Rekha and sridevi ji.....

[@sidharthanayak1064]

That is why Karan approached Rani at the last 🤣 And Rani was doing flop film till She finally got Chalte Chalte (by betraying her friend)

[@lipikamit]

Absolutely one of the most versatile actors is Rani. Continues to make some interesting choices even now like Mardaani.

Hi Rajeev, please do a "25 years of Hum Aapke Hain Koun" video, as well. Needless to say, HAHK is one of the most, if not *the* most, iconic movies of the '90s, alongside DDLJ, and hence, is worthy of a 25-year celebration.

Wht more should I say abt “ The Karan Johar “ he speaks from the bottom of his heart alws , very real and touches every body’s heart. Only thing which cms in my mind is -why do a group of people hate him, no matters wht all good things he does, he gets targeted very soon in-fact first .. instead of acceptance, faith , he gets criticism first ..see the comment box full of appreciation but when the real test time comes, suddenly wht happens ??..I wish the coming new year 2021 totally changes his life 🦋🙏 He , his children , Mumma gets complete love , blessings from the Universe.. no negativity dares to come closer .Be Pure, Fair Minded (in professional & personal life) Vibe High and create your own new world 🌎 KARAN 🙏
