Other potential actors like Satish Shah, Manoj Joshi, Mukesh Tiwari, Navneet Nishan, Lilette Dubey and Vijay Raaz are wasted due to poorly defined roles. Like her debut film LOVE AAJ KAL (with Saif Ali Khan), Giselle has very less dialogues to utter and emotes mostly through her expressions here also. She may not possess good looks but has a bright chance ahead. Zoa Morani makes a convincing debut, looks confident and performs impeccably.
Ali Fazal (who was last seen in 3 IDIOTS)and, Satajeet Dubey play their part well. Even without the support of the established or known or seasoned actors, the cast of the film performs splendidly. Must say Roshan has spent enough time in shaping up the characters, right casting and working on the acting skills of his fresh actors. Roshan's ALWAYS KABHI KABHI truly stands out for its engaging performances and characterization. Even the promotional track picturised on Shahrukh Khan won't be of any help to the film as it lacks appeal.
Also, too many songs and their abrupt emergence in the narrative acts as a deterrent to make the film interesting. Cinematography by Fuwad Khan is fine.įor any youthful and, romantic film music has to be melodious enough to have an impact but ALWAYS KABHI KABHI fails in that aspect. However, the dialogues and one-liners have a youth flavor and do impress at some points. The dramatic incidents and the twists and turns in each of the characters' life are tasteless and don't leave any impact. The storyline is recycled and predictable. While the first half has light moments, the graph escalates towards the second half and drags. Roshan starts off with a campus love story and masti but ends up conveying messages to all the parents out there and aims bridge the gap between the two generations. Despite of different sequences, the film is clean and neat and attempts to be fun-filled. While some sequences like Nandini's pregnancy have been dealt mildly thean Taariq mistaken for suicide attempt is taken too seriously. Roshan's direction appears drifting and the kind of treatment given to the film also fluctuates to a great deal. ALWAYS KABHI KABHI repeats what has been told earlier and doesn't offer anything new. He has blend in all the ingredients what is required to make a so-called teenage film - following your heart and chase your dreams, parents pressure, campus life, crushes, friendship, love, hero-heroine flirt, hang outs, career, generation gap, youngsters in trouble because of corrupts police, blah blah.

Taariq (Satyajeet Dubey), Sam's best friend and confidante, the ever charming, studious, knowledgeable[ lad carries a dream (rather the pressure by his father) to get admission in a reputed college like MIT.
