Have you ever wondered, “What if today was your last day?” Would you do all those things that you wish to do; or live this day to the fullest; or tell someone that they’re the love of your life?
‘Kal Ho Naa Ho’ is a film that gives you the answers to all these questions. The film is an Indian Romantic-Comedy-Drama which came out in 2003 and is directed by Nikkhil Advani. It features Jaya Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Saif Ali Khan and Preity Zinta in the lead roles.

The film gained a lot of positive reviews from the audience and is one of the most classic films of Bollywood as well as Shah Rukh Khan’s career.

After seeing this film, it makes you realize that no matter what, there should always be positivity in our lives. The film teaches us that it is important for every person to face the battles and challenges that life puts us through. Without pain there us no joy, and without fighting our battles, we cannot win.
The film also throws light on the fact that we should live each day as our last. For a person to realize how important it is for him to enjoy the little things in life, this film is a must. Even on the worst days, there’s a possibility for happiness, and one must realize that in order to stay happy in life.
People tend to get angry more easily than getting happy. Today, we all are so busy making money and chasing after materialistic things that we don’t even have the time to stop and look at the good things in life. Whether it’s a father who dosesn’t have time for his family or a mother who is busy doing the daily work or the children who are too busy with their friends, none of us have time left for each other, and somewhere this makes us all grow apart from each other. Therefore, for us to value our lives, it is necessary that we understand the importance of those little moments in each day of our lives and start living for then rather than going after materialistic things.
