Nick Bradshaw Time Out 05/05/2015

See more Priyanka O @Velora Jun 5 Kuch Kuch Hota Hai is a movie that still feels special even after many years. The friendship, love story, and emotions are beautifully presented. Some scenes, especially the moments involving Anjali and Rahul's reunion, felt very emotional and memorable. The music is excellent, and the performances make the characters easy to connect with. A heartwarming film that remains enjoyable to watch even today.
