Shah Rukh Khan’s beloved romantic-drama Kal Ho Naa Ho is making a comeback to theatres on November 15, as confirmed by the makers. The film, written by Karan Johar and directed by Nikkhil Advani, originally premiered on November 28, 2003, and quickly became the highest-grossing Hindi film of the year. Alongside Shah Rukh, the film stars Saif Ali Khan and Preity Zinta in pivotal roles.
The re-release announcement was accompanied by a new poster featuring Shah Rukh, Saif, and Preity, with a line from the title track of the film – “Har pal yahan jee bhar jiyo” (Live every moment with a lot of heart). In their social media caption, the makers hinted at the joy the re-release would bring, with the message, “’Laal ab sabke dil ka haal hai’, hone wala ab kamaal hai!” (Everyone’s heart has turned red and it is going to be a lot of fun now).
The film’s plot revolves around Naina (Preity) and Aman (Shah Rukh), who fall in love, but Aman hides his feelings due to a life-altering secret. Instead, he sets Naina up with her best friend, Rohit (Saif), creating a heartwarming yet bittersweet love triangle.
Produced by Yash Johar, Kal Ho Naa Ho featured memorable music by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy and lyrics by Javed Akhtar, making it a film that resonates even years after its release. The re-release promises to offer fans a chance to relive the emotional journey of the characters on the big screen once more.
