She is a delight to watch, and does not falter, even in the comic scenes with Shahrukh. Kareena Kapoor is appropriately cast and is also excellent in the role of Poo. She is pure magic and fills the screen with bubbly enthusiasm and sheer excitement whenever she is in frame. Kajol is brilliant, and this is probably her best role/performance of her career. The scene where she stands up to Amitabh is brilliantly executed, as is the scene where ShahRukh meets her in the shopping mall in London. Jaya Bachan is very good as the wife, with the amazing ability to sense her son. Some scenes, I thought, were a little demeaning to him, and should have been done more tastefully.
Amitabh Bachan plays the patriach and is fairly good in the role, although he has done it before and is starting to stereotype him. Kudos to the director, who despite the small flaws in the script, steers the viewer away from it, and engrosses you in the myriad of artistic explosions on the screen. The storyline is cliched and has been done many times before, but NEVER has it been packaged in such a powerful way.
You cannot help but weep or cry at various scenes, even though you see them coming a mile away.
Karan Johar is a master at extracting the exact emotion that he wants from the viewer. Dazzling costumes, magnificent buildings, glitzy cars, tons of emotions. This movie is truly a work of art, with the emphasis on art.
