Karan Johar · 2001
Sometimes Happiness Sometimes Sadness (2001) is a Hindi-language family drama directed by Karan Johar, following the Raichand family across Delhi, London, and Cairo. When adopted son Rahul marries outside his class, his father Yash disowns him, triggering a decade-long estrangement. His younger brother Rohan engineers a reunion, culminating in public apology and dual weddings. Anchored by performances from Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, and Kajol, the film uses music, costume, and ritual to explore inheritance, visibility, and the slow labour of belonging.
