It said - very loudly so - that men always choose feminine 'graceful' girls as opposed to fun-loving ones.
It told me, you have to swap athleisure wears for those chiffons, and your short unruly hair, for the beautiful long mane to be worthy of a man's love. Kuch Kuch Hota Hai was one of those many films, which drilled in my head, a very skewed idea of how Indian femininity and beauty should be.

As the film moved forward, I realized Rahul would choose her over Anjali (Kajol) the moment he sees her, and she would be everything he wants in a girl - a super hot yet sanskari Bharatiya nari, who can croon Raghu Pati Raghav and wear beautiful pastel salwar-suits as opposed to Anjali who didn't know how to use make-up, and defeated him in basketball matches regularly. Therefore, when I first saw Tina (Rani Mukerji) in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, make a sweeping, head-turning entrance in college, with her beautiful silky straight hair, wearing a gorgeous yellow mini skirt, I yearned to be her. It was a frustrating nickname to deal with, and a rather uninspiring one too, given how every girl with curly hair must have heard that analogy at some point or another, but it stung me nonetheless. More importantly, they were the reason why boys in my school bullied me and call me 'Maggi noodles'. I had still not figured out how to handle those curls - they were disobedient, and always refused to be neatly tied into a braid, or come together in submission, within the hold of a scrunchy. As I watched my small round face staring back from the hand mirror, I finally realised how terribly disappointed I was with my headful of black unruly curls.

However, when I did finally go home after the movie that night, the first thing I did was to pick up a hand mirror and examine my face. I wanted to try on my mother's chiffon sari when she leaves for work the following Saturday, and I wanted to dance to Koi Mil Gaya next year, on Teachers' Day. I wanted to try the air-piano that Shah Rukh played in the film, and slow waltz with my bolster pillow. I consumed the film voraciously, making mental notes of all the things I wanted to try in real life after I go home, and was alone in my room, where no one could see me and judge me for trying those things. I hungrily took in everything from Karan Johar's magical, cool urban world - the clothing (way before the athleisure trend started, this film made workout clothes look cool), the strange elaborate hand-claps-and-nose-touch greetings that Anjali (Kajol) and Rahul (Shah Rukh Khan) exchanged (something that instantly became a trend among my friends), the fun college scene, the song-and-dance numbers.literally everything. Another anticipated project from the production house is Madhuri Dixit’s Finding Anamika, which will make her digital debut.The first time I watched Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, I was 10-year-old and too afraid to blink, because I didn't want to miss even a tiny second of the film. The film was released worldwide on November 5 on Netflix.
Now, Dharma Productions and Dharmatic Entertainment are all set to present a refreshing story of a couple who deal with a long-distance marriage in Meenakshi Sundareshwar, which also stars Abhimanyu Dassani alongside Sanya Malhotra. It goes without saying that they have created a solid base and have emerged as a brand that rests well not just in cinemas but also in the digital space. The audience has come to like the fresher content made by Karan Johar led company. Not only that but, there has been a visible strength seen in Dharma Productions’ digital outings like Janhvi Kapoor starrer Gunjan Saxena – The Kargil Girl or this year’s blockbuster on Amazon Prime Video Shershaah starring Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani.
