GERMAN ORCHESTRA PLAYS ‘KUCH KUCH HOTA HAI’ IN BERLIN
It’s a well-loved Bollywood classic that you can safely say after listening to, that kuch kuch hota hai. No matter that those words exactly are its actual lyrics!
Well, this past fortnight, many of you must have said that too after the Stuttgart Chamber Orchestra gave a rendition of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai
And guess who was in the audience listening? None other than Karan Johar, who directed the film of the same name in 1998 which launched his Bollywood career. It starred Kajol, Rani Mukherjee and Shah Rukh Khan and became a runaway hit.
Karan said he felt honoured and excited after listening to the German chamber orchestra.
He was representing Indian cinema at the prestigious Berlin International Film Festival.
The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting in partnership with the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) was participating in the European Film Market from February 16-18 in Berlin. The Indian delegation, which also consisted of filmmakers like Jahnu Barua and Shaji Karun, was led by Karan.
Going Back To Hindi Medium
Homi Adajania will be directing the sequel to Hindi Medium with actor Irrfan Khan playing the lead.
The filmmaker says the film’s story is very “amusing yet emotional”.
