Karan Johar’s directorial debut was released alongside David Dhawan’s Bade Miyan Chote Miyan on October 16, 1998. I was enchanted by Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’s virgin language, colours, textures. I saw the film twice in the same week. I don’t think Karan has directed a better film than Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. Except, maybe, My Name Is Khan. Kajol-Shah Rukh’s chemistry was so removed from what lead pairs generally share. But the real star of the show were the two kids Sana Saeed and Parzan Dastur as Anjali and the silent Sardarji. Karan, it is 26 years of his debut
