If one doesn't know already (as it has been thrown down our throats), Khushi (the film) is expected to bring khushi for everyone involved in the project. For actors Kareena Kapoor and Fardeen Khan it is one they are hoping to succeed. For producer Boney Kapoor, whose last year consisted of only one success, Company, Khushi´s outcome is something important. Half of their job is done already, as music director Anu Malik is already experiencing the ´happiness´ with his soundtrack being quite well received. So this writer will save you the rest of the information on how Kareena Kapoor, this being her hardest film yet, has already been drowned out, this being only the second weekend of the year and move on to what Khushi, a re-make of a southern hit, is all about. 

Directed by S.J. Suryah, who has also written the script and screenplay, Khushi is without a hesitation, a love story. However, as constantly babbled, the treatment of a love story can out and out change the aura of a film. With that said, the pre-release screenings of the film have garnered just that positive outcome. Aside from style, the film is said to have been laced with the groovingly symbolic picturizations which underlie the emotions of the main leads Karan (Fardeen Khan), and Khushi (Kareena Kapoor). For one, "Tere Bina" has been adjudged one of the best choreographed songs of 2003. Not only are several moods interlarded with a variety of intrinsic colors but the song itself has been on the charts since the soundtrack released. 

These two youthful college students born far apart are brought together with the simple ideal that "they were destined to meet". Naturally we are forced to believe this since - despite original plans - these two students end up studying together at Mumbai students. Karan originally wanted to study elsewhere, and Khushi did as well, must convince her father that she is not ready for marriage. Obviously, by forces beyond their control. There they first meet  and like any two normally beautiful people would do, they snub each other with their arrogance. Their two friends, however, Priya and Vicky hope to change this. Karan and Priya are placed in a situation which has them helping their friends. This situation, as fate would have it, brings them closer than they ever expected. 

This experience allows them to explore each other but in every step they continue to insist that they do not have feelings for each other. Their similarity in characters are what distances them. Khushi, being the light of life for her family has always been a kind hearted but strong girl who is truly fun at heart. Karan is no different. Unfortunately, the time comes when they must part and must accept that they must choose to either be together or not and come to terms with their feelings for each other. To do this they must get over the flaws in their characters, their obstinacy and egos, together. Khushi is the experience described between these two lover destined to be.
