The out-of-the-ordinary all-time classic KABHI KABHIE was all about complex, interwoven and delicate human relations, and crisscrossed triangles. Its strength lay in controlled superlative performances by Amitabh Bachchan (Amit Malhotra), Shashi (in arguably one of his best roles ever as Vijay Khanna), Waheeda Rehman, Raakhee (Pooja), Rishi, and Neetu Singh. Poetic love, incomplete romance, blissful togetherness, and the wildness of youth were played against restrained feelings, unfulfilled desires, and the individual ego.

Kabhie Kabhie, a once-in-a-lifetime kind of movie, was the confluence of almost every human emotion, feeling, or desire. It could only be faulted for the lack of a convincing climax, or a little disjointedness. But every sequence and character in the movie were classics by themselves.
