Khushi is the love story of a girl, Khushi (Kareena Kapoor), and her college pal, Karan (Fardeen Khan). We´re shown the births of Karan and Khushi in two distinct parts of India, informed that they´re soul-mates per the Lord´s masterful plan, and are expected to wait for them to get together years and years later.Jump forward to the couple´s late teens, and they meet as friends through a series of divine coincidences at Bombay University. Problem is that Khushi is loathe to trust the male species, and neither soul is up for just admitting his/her true feelings for the other. And so ensues a two hour melange of fighting, bickering, jealousy and dreaming between the two apparent love birds.

These college-mates are in love but the girl`s father, who is too class-conscious, will not allow her to get married to the boy as he hails from a poor family. In the process of uniting the two college-pals, Khushi and Karan realise that their love for each other is not over. Finally, in a climax that`s meant to be nail-bitingly exciting, the two lovers (Khushi and Karan) unite in matrimony with the blessings of their parents.

The story´s not as boring as it might seem. There are plenty of poignant and thought-provoking quandaries the director puts our love-birds into. What also was the need of the drama was to show the assistance Khushi and Karan offer to get the two college-mates together and, in the process, how they fall in love over again. Fardeen has improved considerably in his acting skills since his disastrous "Prem Aggan" debut, but vocal and facial emoting? 

Not to say Kareena is much better. She infuses a lot of life into her character. Her dances are also superb. Johny Lever`s comedy track has no connection with the story. Neeraj Vora`s comedy track is truly terrible. Anup Soni and Radhika Menon, as the two college-pals in love, have no roles to talk about when they should`ve had roles next only to Fardeen and Kareena`s in importance. They are average. Radhika Chaudhary lends some sex appeal. Navin Nischol, Beena, Gargi Patel, Sharat Saxena and the rest pass muster.

Plenty of Suryah´s scenes are also somewhat contrived, his scripting is poor and his direction does not evoke emotions of any kind. He uses some unique aerial camera angles to bring life to Anu Malik´s mediocre song soundtrack, though his love for the zoom lens may be a bit excessive. Riding the wave of so-so-ness, Khushi´s unlikely to find long-term favour with most folks in the audience. There are parts that are good, parts that are bad, but in the grand scheme of things, there´s really little Khushi to be had.
