😕 The only thing I find tolerable about Karan Johar's films are the starpower and great performances from Kajol in the major blockbusters he has directed (Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kabhie Khushi Kabhie Gham, and My Name Is Khan). Even the most recent film he produced, We Are Family, Kajol was the one who walked away with the appreciation and critical acclaim.

The bottom line is that without Kajol, Karan Johar's films would have fallen flat. His films without Kajol (Kal No Nal Ho and Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna) were not that big of hits to fall in the same category as Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kabhie Khushi Kabhie Gham, and My Name Is Khan. With Kajol, his films are tolerable and she makes them watchable despite the same "rhona dhona" over and over again.
What else is so special about Karan Johar's films? Nothing that I can see except Kajol!

I don't know why. There are more competent directors out there! But, I agree with you that he is overrated! 😕

Karan Johar's movies are OTT, loud, and can be annoying, but they connect to the viewers. Both of my grandmas are majorly in love with K3G and it's STILL their fav movie. They get so happy when it comes on. It's funny😆
And Karan definitely thinks VERY highly of Kajol. I think he thinks she's lucky for him, which is why Kajol has made an appearence in most of his movies in some way or the other.
But KANK was such a disaster that it couldn't be saved by anybody..thank God Kajol said no to that movie😆
And I don't remember very well, but KHNH was a huge hit right? It was the second biggest hit right after KMG right?
