Sunil is a "loser." He fails his exams. He gets evicted from his room. He lies about owning a motorcycle. He tries to intercept Aana’s love letters. In any other film, he would be the comic relief or the villain. But Kundan Shah and SRK turn him into a mirror. He whispers, "God, I don't care if she
Sunil realizes that his happiness cannot come at the cost of Anna’s. He stops the wedding, not to object, but to fix the mess he created. He steps aside, heartbroken but dignified. The final scene, where he walks away down the railway tracks, is bittersweet. He hasn't won the girl, but he has won back his integrity. He meets a new girl on the train, symbolizing that life, indeed, goes on. Sunil is a "loser
At its core, Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa is a deconstruction of the classic “best friend vs. the cool guy” love triangle. Sunil (Shah Rukh Khan) is the lead singer of a fledgling band, a perpetual daydreamer who cannot hold a job or pass his exams. He is desperately in love with his childhood friend, Aana (Suchitra Krishnamoorthi), but Aana’s heart belongs to Chris (Deepak Tijori), a tall, handsome, and stable sailor. In any other film, Sunil would be the comic sidekick or the villainous obstacle. Here, he is the protagonist. The film refuses to reward his scheming; when Sunil lies to sabotage Chris, the lie backfires spectacularly. When he tries to look cool, he looks ridiculous. The brilliance of Shah Rukh Khan’s performance is that he makes Sunil’s desperation achingly real, yet never unlikeable. We cringe at his mistakes because we recognize a little of our own insecure adolescence in him.
