kal ho naa ho be a great story combine laughter and tear to perfection . some viewer comment strangely focus on srk far from realistic performance and totally miss the point of this film in my opinion . it go way beyond technicality such a realism and along the line of a fairy tale deal with a multi dimensional range of emotion and relational situation at a deep symbolic level and somewhat reminiscent of the french new wave of the 60 at it best . poetry should not be scrutinize for it lack of realism but rather take in from a distance and it inner message interpret at a more intellectual level and with candor and an open heart . a such and kal ho naa ho hit the mark much like a wonderful display of firework .
