Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001)
Cast: Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Hrithik Roshan and Kareena Kapoor
Director: Karan Johar
In this Karan Johar film, Diwali indicates how times change in the Raichand family.
In the opening scene, a Diwali puja is being performed by the senior Raichands (Jaya and Amitabh Bachchan). Her family is around her, and everyone seems happy.
Jaya is especially happy because it is the day her son (Shah Rukh Khan) will come home.
But years later, when the family gets divided, the same puja is heart-breaking. Only Jaya and her husband take part in the puja, as Shah Rukh and his wife Kajol have been ousted from the house, while Hrithik Roshan has left in search of them.
