Durga Singh (Raakhee) has two sons, Karan (Salman Khan) and Arjun (Shah Rukh Khan) that are the joy of her life. When they are murdered, she prays to Kali to reincarnate them, and restore them too her, so that they can take vengeance on her enemy. This is both a poignant story of a mother's love and faith, and an action packed tale of revenge. The music and choreography are average, but the costumes are spectacular. The fight scenes are well staged and exciting. The supporting cast is quite good. Khan and Khan are both great in their roles, and it is fun to see the superstars act together. (Though, in my opinion, seeing them together shows that Salman Khan is a superior fighter, dancer, and actor.) It's a solid movie overall, and will please fans of either Khan.

Reincarnation is the one word which can be used to describe Karan Arjun, a film which can easily be a fun watch for the entire family. It is about two brothers who are killed and their mother who expects to see them again for some reason and desperately prays for the day they come back. And her prayers get paid off when her children are reborn in different parts of the country and grow up looking the same as her dead kids. The film has some heartbreaking feel about it, but as a film, it is a bit overdone, melodramatic and cheesy. Yet, it never takes itself too seriously, so it somehow works despite being blown out of proportions. The film may particularly appeal to children - heroes and villains, fights and races, dialogue which does not have much sense, very caricaturish characters. Despite that, there are some emotions that somehow work for others, so I would call it a children's film which may appeal to the rest of the family. Salman Khan and Shahrukh Khan work very well together and give the film a certain appeal not warranted by the script. Salman is restrained as never before and Shahrukh is carefree and positive. Raakhee does well as the suffering mom and the moment of unity is such a familiar tear-causing scene that nothing else matters. Mamta and Kajol are hardly there, particularly Kajol, who is invisible. Rajesh Roshan's music is as always amazing, with "Yeh Bandhan" leading the list. All in all, go and try this wholesome Bollywood entertainment.

This film was absolutely brilliant The real reasons why the film was a blockbuster was because of the music, action scenes and chemistry of the two KhansThe film has Salman and Shah Rukh as two brothers killed by Amrish Puri Their mother Raakhee prays at a Kali Temple and the brothers are reborn in separate and later surface to kill Amrish PuriThe film has several references to KARZ (1980) like the hero being reincarnated, a mother who pines for her son, the villain that becomes really rich after the death of the hero, a Kali temple, the hero getting hallucinations, etcThe direction by Rakesh Roshan is brilliantly and leaves no piece left behind Surprisingly his son Hrithik Roshan also helped with the film as the assistant director Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan were paired for the first time and play their roles absolutely brilliantly and both of them share amazing chemistry together Mamta Kulkarni and Kajol ably support them and both of them are quite beautiful Amrish Puri is a menacing villain Raakhee is awesome Johny Lever is funny Ashok Saraf rocks all the way

Salman Khan's acting and films used to be good in the early 90's but not nowadays. I like a lot of Shah Rukh Khan's films so that is why I can say Karan Arjun is Salman's best film and not Shah Rukh's. I really liked the idea of the story about a mother's two sons killed and she prayed to faithfully ask for the return of her sons. A miracle takes place and they are both born again. The film was so heartfelt & emotional about relationships. The best scenes throughout the whole movie are when Salman was fighting for money to cure his father. Every actor was terrific in their own place but not Kajol she was a complete show-off and just can not act (sorry Kajol fans!). Mamta Kulkarni was also good for her small role also she is beautiful & cute, I really do like her but sadly she doe's not appear anymore. Directed by one of my most favourite directors Rakesh Roshan, his films always took Bollywood to a new level e.g. Koi Mil Gaya was the first Indian sci-fi & Krrish is the first superhero movie. Overall Karan Arjun is a very unforgettable film and I just recently bought it on DVD.
