Karan Johar describes 'Kal Ho Naa Ho' title track as an 'immortal melody'

Karan Johar described Shah Rukh Khan's Kal Ho Naa Ho title track as an "immortal melody."

Taking to his Instagram on Wednesday, May 8, the 51-year-old filmmaker shared a special video featuring the melancholic rendition of the Kal Ho Naa Ho title track as background music.

The clip includes poignant scenes from various films such as Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Shershaah, Kalank, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, and Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, among others.

Karan captioned the post, “A song in the @dharmamovies repertoire that will always be so personal to me for so many reasons…Will always be eternally grateful to Javedsaab SEL and Sonu for giving us this immortal melody…A song that is about hope… love … and loss…"

"As much a song for a broken heart as it is for hopeful romance … The inherent quality of this song to transcend a gamut of emotions makes it the “go to” audio soothing support … Emotions are universal and here are some moments from our movies that hopefully have struck a chord…," he added.

As soon as Karan shared the post, many fans flooded the comment section to express their thoughts.

One fan penned, “One of the most beautiful films that I love by Kajol and Shah Rukh Khan, the story of the film and its songs. For him, film songs have a big role in helping the film succeed or fail and choosing the appropriate singing voices for the character of the actors. When will we again see work that brings together the most beautiful people I love together again? We miss their inspiration.”

While another commented, “Love this song. All time favourite.”
