Another teenage flick,dealing with themes of best friends forever,youthful angst,parental expectations,and peer pressure. Bollywoods occasional dalliance with urban teens is now looking as if its here to stay,but Always Kabhi Kabhi is not exactly the best proponent of that genre,always looking as if its trying too hard,only very kabhi kabhi finding its voice.
Coming from a brand new director,and fresh faces,this film should have felt newer,but this is stuff weve seen before. We know that this is a Shah Rukh Khan production because he shows up for an item number as the end credits roll. That doesnt do anything for the film either.
