I myself did not know until I was re-watching my favorite Hollywood rom-com of all time, Sleepless in Seattle. IРІР‚в„ўm actually not sure to what extent people are aware that Mann is a remake. Btw, train stations is a big theme in the original too. Since this aspect did not exist in Falling in Love, and also because the chemistry of Shahrukh and Rani can never match a Robert and Meryl duo (if it had been Shahrukh and Kajol, maybe), the Hollywood version fairs a little better. I think the audience made a connection with these characters and that is why there was such outrage when they were cheated on, as we naturally felt that they deserved better. I think where Karan went wrong with KANK is that he also gave us a deep insight into the personalities of the spousesРІР‚вЂњ Riya and Rishi, played by Preity and Abhishek respectively. I do love KANK, and have never succumbed to the pressures of mainstream conservative viewers who bashed it relentless for portraying infidelity. I was lucky enough to realize this when the film was aired on television some years ago. To give it its due, it is not a scene-by-scene copy but takes its entire premise from the 1984 Hollywood film Falling in Lovewhich stars legendary Robert De Niro and Meryl Streep. Few people know that Karan JoharРІР‚в„ўs Shahrukh and Rani starrer KANK is also a copy.
