You've almost been trolled. Every poster I've seen for this film says
"Kal Ho Naa Ho". The Devnagri script says the same thing, as far as I
can make out.

By the way, this film looks crap. I saw the preview for it before
Baghban in some multiplex in Bombay. It looks like any other love
triangle, stitched up as "The greatest story ever told". I'm going to
do my level best to avoid it. As if Shah Rukh wasn't enough, it also
features Preity Zinta, who I'll never ever be able to watch in a film
again, after "Armaan". It'll probably appeal to the lowest common
denominator here, like villagers from Ahmedabad. Me, I'll probably
take my grandmother to "Wah Wah Ramji" before watching such a hopeless
film.

And the level of antagonism towards Shah Rukh in India is amazing.
Universally, people say he can't emote and acts like a mahabore. This
isn't just my family. I was stopped at some lights in Bandra on
Sunday. A beggar without an arm asked me for some cash. I asked him
what he thought of Shah Rukh. The response cracked me up: "Oos aadmi
ko acting nahin aata hain" or something of the sort. (My Hindi is very
crap.) I gave the guy 10 rupees. Even the beggars for whom Shah Rukh
targets his acting hate him.

Baghban was not bad. Story was a little different. Hema looks great
from the front - like a young girl, better than in "Sholay". From the
side, you can tell that she's grown a bit older - her neck is kind of
flabby, as happens with old women. Nothing a bit of liposuction
couldn't fix.  Salman is very weird in the film - his role is
downright creepy.

Cheers,
