Kuch Kuch Hota Hai
I watched this for the second time tonight to see if my opinion changed over time, but I still find the ending unromantic and frustrating as all get out. Would it be possible for the hero to take a LESS active role in his happy ending? I doubt it. I looooove the dancing in the rain scene, and of course SRK/Kajol chemistry is amazing, but...
That stupid man did not bother to say one thing to her to stop her from leaving the camp, had to be dragged by his eight year old daughter to stop the wedding, found the bride standing on a balcony pining and said nothing, and then stood through the whole last scene crying silently while her overwhelmingly noble fiance hooked them up.
BBLLLLEEERRGGGH. I do not understand why people love this movie so much!

Fear. He's loved, lost and didn't believe himself deserving or capable even as his heart argued he might be wrong. Or that's my take- plus, it's BW they have to make you want to scream. LOL

You have some good points, but I loved KKHH. I think it was my third bwood film - and then I was really hooked.

I love that movie also. But I have to agree about how frustrating it was when he wasn't saying or doing anything there towards the end. But then again, that's the pull of the movie for me at the same time because you're just screaming at him on the tv (well me anyway-lol), and anxiously watching and waiting for SOMETHING to happen! And then again...it wouldn't be a bw movie if a wedding wasn't interrupted for the sake of love. lol

I knowwww, I just wanted him to EARN it. Salman Khan doing all the work for him seemed lame. At least a "Thank you" or something.

You're right - it violates storytelling 101. The hero should create his own outcome. It would have been a better story if he had. But even with that flaw, it still worked, at least for me.
