Where to watch: Kuch Kuch Hota Hai is streaming on Netflix. And Kuch Kuch Hota Hai is nothing if not a timeless story about friends.* “Pyar dosti hai,” Rahul declares early on: Love is friendship. Despite being famous for its love triangle, the movie never pits Anjali and Tina against each other, instead depicting a beautiful friendship between the two women as well as their respective relationships to Rahul. Khan and Kajol’s chemistry captivates throughout, from their Gap-clad days of college teasing to the unfathomable sexual tension of the gazebo scene.
Through her letters, Tina tasks her daughter with tracking down Anjali and reuniting the friends as lovers, once and for all. Little Anjali grows up reading letters from her late mother, and she learns about her father’s old friend - his first love.
The friends become estranged before Tina dies, leaving behind a daughter, also named Anjali in honor of their old friend. Rahul (Shah Rukh Khan) and Anjali (Kajol) are college besties until Rahul falls in love with Tina (Rani Mukherji) and Anjali realizes her true feelings for him. Karan Johar’s directorial debut became an instant Bollywood classic when it hit theaters in 1998.
