Primarily because it doesn’t know why Rani relentlessly sobs and Shah Rukh goes gruff-gruff and all those designer marriages suck. But this time round, the rona-dhona becomes somebody else's business, the jolly good fella bits seem to be in short supply and the aam janata ends up feeling gypped. Naturally, we the aam janata couldn’t bear the agony of these bravehearts and broke down copiously, while the box office jingled. It was the viewer who'd do all the crying, sighing and tear jerking 'coz Shah Rukh chose to laugh while he died, Hrithik sashayed to bring his broken family together and Kajol played basketball to drive her dilemma - Salman or Shah Rukh - away. In all his earlier ventures, the characters would hardly need the tissues despite the heartbreak, heartache, heartburn. For unlike his earlier successful celluloid soap operas, the audience doesn’t get to shed any real tears even though the protagonists keep crying. No, this time, Karan Johar seems to have got the formula somewhat skewed.
