14 years of Kal Ho Naa Ho: 10 reasons why it will still make you cry

“Aaj… Aaj ek hasi aur baant loon… Aaj ek dua aur maang loon… Aaj ek aansoo aur pee loon… Aaj ek zindagi aur jee loon… Aaj ek sapna aur dekh loon… Aaj… Kya pata kal ho naa ho!” You need to LIVE to love and LOVE to have a life, Kal Ho Naa Ho is not just a movie it is a therapy and this iconic film hits a milestone as it completes 14 golden years today. A movie that subtly celebrates heartbreak and instils the belief of living one moment at a time and to the fullest, Kal Ho Naa Ho is that inspiration you need to brighten up your day whenever you’re facing the blues. Aman, Naina, Rohit, (Shah Rukh Khan, Preity Zinta and Saif Ali Khan respectively) weren’t just characters they were all of us combined. The situations, circumstances, feelings, the highs and lows, the love and the separation, this movie reflects and walks you through the parts of life that we all have faced or are facing. The scenes are carried out with utmost perfection which makes you smile through the pain and helplessness, sewed beautifully with the soulful music and background score of the film which stays with you long after the movie is over. Every scene is a learning, every scene adds a new layer to your own personality, to your character. Even the smallest characters or the cameos provide such a heavy effect, in fact, they are the ones who actually give away the plot. Be it Sonali Bendre’s character that reveals to the audience that Aman is diagnosed with cancer or Sanjay Kapoor’s conversation with Naina and Rohit that Aman is on the verge of losing his life, every artist had an equally important role to play.

Listed below are the 10 scenes that break your heart with a smile, one beat at a time.

Diary Scene

Every hopeless romantic’s go-to scene; because we all want that one person to love us beyond life and Aman was that person to Naina. His vulnerability, helplessness and misery were conveyed all through his eyes and we don’t think a scene like that can be ever recreated.

“Naina kaash mein tumhe bataa sakta, mein tumhe kitna chahta hoon. I love you, I love you very very much Naina. Main aankhein band karta hoon toh tumhe dekhta hoon, aankhein kholta hoon toh tumhe dekhna chahta hoon. Tum paas nahin hoti toh tumhe charon taraf mehsoos karta hoon. Har pal har ghadi har waqt mere naina mere Naina ko doondhte hain. Ise pyar kaho, paagalpan ya mere dil ki dhadkan. Mere liye ek hi baat hai. Pyaar toh bahut log karte hain, lekin mere jaisa pyar koi nahin kar sakta, kyonki kisi ke paas tum jo nahin ho. Main tumhe bhool nahin sakta Naina. Main tumhe bhoolna hi nahin chahta. Tum meri ho, main tumhe zindagi bhar pyar karoonga. Marte dam tak pyar karoonga aur uske baad bhi.”
