Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Kal Ho Naa Ho
In this Indian film, Aman Mathur comes to US for treatment for his heart problem. Naina Catherine Kapur is his uncle's neighbour, and soon, she is his neighbor. As time passes, they start connecting to each other. Naina starts to enjoy Aman, unlike their first few days together, when she found his habits irritating.

Suddenly, Naina falls in love with Aman. But Aman is too good-hearted to let his friend lose her second husband. He acts like his doctor is his wife, and Naina is easily fooled into believing this. Heartbroken, Naina runs back home, sadder than ever.

Rohit Patel, Naina's best friend, falls in love with the transformed Naina, who has changed due to Aman and his ways. Will Naina marry Rohit, or will she find out the truth and still marry Aman?
