If only she understood that a nice guy really loved her, if only she saw how much better for her he is, then she would pick him instead of the sexy “bad boy” who is tricking her with his sexiness. This isn’t just a female thing of course, the same fantasy informs the male idea of the “nice guy” versus the “bad boy”. It’s a great love triangle because it answers the secret self-respect saving argument of every girl who has ever had an unrequited crush, “if only things were fair, if only he saw clearly, he would pick me over her”. And then there is the pretty girl who has tricked him away with her prettiness.

There’s the girl who is friends with the boy, who really understands him, who “deserves” him and who he SHOULD be with. It’s a standard love triangle that shows up in everything from Jane Eyre to Taylor Swift songs. Rani “steals” Kajol’s man using her sexiness and prettiness. Kajol is the awkward tomboy who doesn’t get noticed. She is the pretty one, the sexy one, the flirty one. The surface image of Rani’s character makes her seem simple. Next most interesting character, Tina! Really it is the women who are original and new and different in this film, Shahrukh’s hero is good, but not quite so spectacular.
