Summer Binge alert: Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham is still the OG queen of comfort watches

Tired of today’s Bollywood? Then travel back to the good days of the OG’s—-Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham. You might have seen it once, twice or a million times, but that film hits you like a comfort food.

You know the dialogues; from Kajol's squeals to Farida Jalal's agonising over a headache. You know the songs, and you still know Hrithik Roshan’s steps by heart.

It’s the queen of summer binges and you can never go wrong with it. Do we even need to tell you the story? Fine, here’s a refresher: Rahul (Shah Rukh Khan) chooses love over legacy when he falls for the bubbly, big-hearted Anjali (Kajol), defying his father’s cold, rigid ideals. Years later, his younger brother Rohan (Hrithik) flies to London to reunite the family, under the really obvious cover of being their sister-in-law’s friend. Revel in some classic SRK snark that is honestly missing in today's Bollywood.

More importantly, relive the iconic days of Kareena Kapoor as ‘Poo’—a title that she has never been able to shake off, two decades later. Remember, this was one of the rare times overacting looked so good.

It’s fun. It’s dramatic. It’s peak Karan Johar. And if the crying gets too much? Fast-forward to the glam, the sass, or the matching Manish Malhotra fits. Just don’t question the geography of Delhi and London. If you’re over new Bollywood, this is your sign to go back to the era when every emotion was dialed up to eleven — and it somehow worked.
