Karan Johar's early Dharma baby, 'Kal Ho Naa Ho' directed by Nikkhil Advani, has real emotions, beautiful performances delivered by Preity Zinta, Saif Ali Khan and especially the excellently vulnerable Shahrukh Khan. It also has a script that's beautifully stitched.

But the directorial craft is laboured and the story-telling is too glossy and incompetent. It's passable, forgettable entertainment at best, with good songs and good performances, and little else.
2.5/5.
