Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham..., commonly referred to as K3G, is a Bollywood family drama film directed by Karan Johar, released in 2001. The movie boasts of a star-studded cast including Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Hrithik Roshan and Kareena Kapoor. The film is set in the upper-class society of London during the 1990s.

The story revolves around the Raichand family, who are an extremely wealthy and influential family in London. Yashvardhan Raichand (Amitabh Bachchan) is the patriarch of the family, who has raised his two sons, Rahul (Shah Rukh Khan) and Rohan (Hrithik Roshan), with a strict set of values and principles. Rahul is the elder son who is the heir to the family business and Rohan is the younger one, who is studying in a university in India.

Rahul meets and falls in love with a middle-class girl named Anjali (Kajol) while studying at university. However, when Yashvardhan learns of their relationship, he opposes it and Rahul, in turn, leaves his home to marry Anjali. This creates a rift between Rahul and his family, and they cut off all ties with each other. Rahul and Anjali move to Delhi and start their own family.

Years later, Rohan moves to London and realizes the extent of the estrangement between his family and his brother. He decides to reunite them and sets out to find Rahul. However, it is not an easy task since Rahul has become successful in his own right and is living contentedly with his wife and son. Rohan's determination to reunite his family eventually pays off, but not without its own set of challenges.

Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham... is a movie that captures the bonds between family members, the traditions that they cherish, and the sacrifices that they make for one another. Along with its strong cast, the film is also well-known for its mesmerizing music composed by Jatin-Lalit, with lyrics by Sameer. The songs "Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham", "Bole Chudiyan", and "Suraj Hua Maddham" became massive hits and continue to be popular even today.

One of the most outstanding features of the movie is its lavish production design. The sets are grand and the costumes are extravagant, truly befitting the status of the Raichand family. The overall cinematography is also remarkable, with beautifully executed aerial shots of London, making the film visually stunning.

The film's director, Karan Johar, unapologetically delivers a story that is unabashedly emotional, and often criticized for being too sappy or melodramatic.
