When it came out in 1998, 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' shook up the movie industry and won the hearts of millions of people. With big names like Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Rani Mukerji, and Salman Khan in the cast, the movie became the biggest hit of the year. It had everything a movie fan could want: a beautiful score, bright colours, romance, college life, heartbreaks, friendships, drama, and a wide range of feelings.

But as time went on, fans and director Karan Johar realised that the popular line "Hum ek baar jeete hain, ek baar marte hain, and Pyaar...wo bhi ek hi baar hota hai" in 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' gave an unrealistic view of love. "We only live once, we only die once, and we only love once, too." Karan Johar cleverly made the movie look like a story about a second love, which fooled everyone.
Karan Mirchandani, a well-known thinker and Bollywood fan, has rethought 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' after all these years and found a murder case that was never solved. Can't think of any of these? Get ready, because this guy is about to give you the most mind-boggling plot change ever, one that will beat even Abbas-Mustan movies and outshine Karan Johar's. Read on to learn more about this interesting story set in an alternate world, which gives the events of the movie a new way to be understood.
Karan Mirchandani, who is known for his strong knowledge of Bollywood, looked at K2H2 '(Kuch Kuch Hota Hai)' in a new way. 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' did it before Knives Out!" was written in the text, which was a hint at what was about to be revealed. "My favourite murder mystery is actually Kuch Kuch Hota Hai," he said, setting the stage for his version. It's a great murder story that's disguised as a high school romance, but no one has figured out who did it. A girl gets eight letters from her mother, who died in a strange way, asking her to get her father and his high school lover together. Isn't that strange? Why would a mother send her daughter such letters?"
Karan went on to explain his idea by saying, "Because when Rahul and Anjali were in high school, they met Tina, who, unlike Rahul and Anjali, came from a wealthy family. They came up with a plan to ensure their future: Rahul would marry Tina, and then Tina would die mysteriously after a few years. Rahul would then receive all of Tina's money. Then, Rahul and Anjali could get married." The catch is that Rahul and Tina have a child. How could they get the child to follow the plan if she didn't know about it? By making her think it was her idea the whole time. They got her to believe that her mother had given her the job of bringing Rahul and Anjali together out of love. She replaced her dead mother with Anjali in her mind, and even though Tina's ghost tried to stop her, she was sure she had done it out of love. So, they got the money and made sure the daughter would help.
Netizens loved Karan Mirchandani's version of 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' and thought that he, not Karan Johar, was the one who gave it a new view. One person said, "That's a great idea. It's the only murder case in which the murderer is never found. Another user said, "From now on, I'll remember this movie as a murder mystery."

One user noticed that the idea reminded them of a talk between Joey and Phoebe in the famous TV show Friends. "They stole this plan from Phoebe of Friends," the user said. When Parzaan Dastur, the child actor who was famous for saying "Tussi Na Jaao" in the movie, joined the conversation and added his own twist to the story by saying, "Oh shit! They made me scared and I couldn't speak! I can't believe I was duped into helping them!"
Other comments also showed how funny it was. "Anurag Kashyap is directing KKHH," said one user, while another said, "Finally, a better explanation for that stupid movie." Benny Dayal, a singer, said, "This is basically Archie's story, except that Veronica dies and Archie becomes a father and ends up with Betty." A funny user joked, "After two days of constant Crime Patrol." Another comment said something like, "Half of this plot became the basis for Humraaz."

The best for last, one person thought, "WTF wow. I'm pretty sure Karan Johar will take this idea and use it to make a Netflix show." Another user made a joke about the movie by saying, "Salman bhai got sidelined again, it seems."
