Kuch Kuch Hota Hai - The Hidden Plot

We often read articles about hidden plots, secret characters and Easter eggs in Hollywood movies.
There are some plot points in movies that are so well covered up that you will always miss them.
Movies like The Matrix, Primer, Inception etc., the more you see them, the more you realize that you probably did not get it all right the first time.

Ever thought that even Bollywood has been secretly hiding plots, Easter eggs and links to other movies ?  The movie that you probably saw ten times but you never got the actual story because you never expected Bollywood to be that smart. Here is one such hidden plot explained and the movie under observation is none other than the SRK blockbuster "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai". A coming-of-age romance directed by Karan Johar as a debutante. Was it really a love story that we think it was ?

Here I present to you the secret plot in Kuch Kuch Hota hai that nobody ever got. Thanks to my Paarkhi Nazar and Nirma Super I have it all figured out for you.The plot has a secret link to another Shahrukh Khan movie. 

If you have not seen the movie please stop here because there are spoilers. [Aisa sab bade log likhte hain toh likh diya]

And if you are an ardent fan of the movie, then this might just ruin the movie for you forever.

The other movie that Kuch Kuch Hota hai has a secret link with is Baazigar. Does not make sense ? Keep reading till it does.

The protagonist Rahul in Kuch Kuch hota hai is none other than  the psycho serial killer Ajay from Baazigar. I know you genius people will say.."hey he died in the end". So did the killer in 'I know what you did last Summer' , Jon Snow in GOT and Mihir in KSBKBT. You know how it works.

The guy has no name, he never dies. The statement "Hum ek baar jeete hain..." is the biggest sarcasm in the movie. The movie defies the 'pyaar' and 'shaadi' part of it and secretley the 'life' part as well.

He becomes Ajay then Vikki in Baazigar and now he is Rahul in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. He always follows a pattern. He falls in love with one girl , gets bored with her and kills her. He then finds the next one and most of the time it is Kajol. 

He was a sloppy killer in Baazigar so he learns from his mistakes. The plot of Kuch Kuch Hota hai is nothing but his brilliantly crafted plan well executed.

He loves Kajol aka Anjali but then he is attracted towards the new girl in town, Rani Mukherji aka Tina. He decides to marry her for his father's wealth, exactly what he did in Baazigar. He has had enough protected sex with Tina till he gets bored and does his thing. Rani Mukherji becomes pregnant and is admitted to the hospital. For some reason doctors say that her life is in danger. He takes advantage of the situation and kills her on the hospital bed itself making it all look natural. You can actually see him kill Rani in one of the scenes but you won't realize. It has so cleverly been put there.

Don't believe ? ,check the ones below.

He raises his daughter well, gives her all the love but still makes her feel from time to time that she needs a mother. He cleverly names her Anjali .  He makes sure that the chit she picks in the extempore reads "Maa". It was not a coincidence and this gives him a chance to play his emotional card.

He is the one writing letters on behalf of Tina to their daughter and she thinks they were all written by her mother. I mean come on...how can somebody think so much into the future, Tina was no Oracle. When she is old enough to understand, he mentions in those letters about Anjali (Kajol). 

This was really a give away that it was not Tina but Rahul who wrote those letters else how could Tina be so accurate about everything that happened between Rahul and Anjali although she had not even arrived till that time. How could she be so vivid in her description of everything ?  Even the basketball moves, an entire song lyrics, the jokes...everything in the letter..how ?

Elementary Watson...Elementary !!!

Another point supporting the theory is the timing. Rahul always kept track of Anjali. He knew that she did not get married. How could Tina know that in future, after seven years of her death somebody who is almost her age will not get married. I mean, you have a seven year old child and you expect Anjali to stay unmarried till the time you ask your child to hook her dad up with Anjali ?

But still the question...Why did she wait ? The answer is, RAHUL, the psycho serial killer. Like he kills other people in Baazigar who try to foil his plan, he has been killing everybody who was trying to fall in love or get married to Anjali. But however he fails to kill Salmaan Khan because...Ok, tell me one movie where Salman Khan dies ? [Not the one in which he has AIDS because basically he cannot fight viruses. Perhaps he is planning a remake where he gets an Ant Man suit and kills the virus to survive AIDS.]

Rahul pays bribe to the pundit ji (you know how easy that is) who gives some illogical astrological  (both have logic..**high 5**) reason to delay the wedding. Rahul is the one behind the entire setup of the summer camp. His daughter plays to his tunes and goes to the summer camp and he just follows. 

Everything falls in place and they meet after all these years. He is successful in rekindling the love. He uses nostalgia (basket ball, same old song, the shooting star etc.) as a weapon to make her fall for him ( #YoRahulSoBrilliant).

But then Salmaan comes in to ruin it. Now,  Rahul could have proposed Anjali and it could have ended there as she was already in love with Rahul. But, if you remember what Rahul's philosophy is " Rahul ladkiyon ke peeche nahi bhaagta....ladkiya Rahul ke peeche aati hain". He attends their marriage and uses his acting skills to their best creating a scene that melts Anjali and  Salmaan's heart . Because Bhai was just Being Human. Finally , Rahul get's his second girl in the end completing his pattern.
