The 1994 romantic comedy starred Shah Rukh Khan, Deepak Tijori, Naseeruddin Shah and introduced Suchitra Krishnamurthy.

On Twitter, Shah Rukh shared his recollections from the film. He wrote, "At that stage…in that age…..raw….uncontrolled…craft still undefined….surrounded by the best cast & crew in India and a director who I miss every day! Taught me that sometimes you lose the moment….but win everything else…I am sure somewhere, some world Sunil did too !" The actor played the character of Sunil, an optimistic musician who is in love with Anna (Suchitra). Unfortunately, she doesn't love him back and instead prefers his friend Chris (Deepak).

In a 2006 interview on STAR Gold, Shah Rukh had shared why the coming-of-age film was so special to him. He had said, "According to me, I have been working for 16 to 17 years but this is one movie that will remain very close to my heart. At that time I was not a producer. But there is one wish that will remain unfulfilled that I wish I had made this movie."

He had added, "I would like to be like Sunil but I don't think I have the innocence and purity of Sunil. But Kundan has that quality of innocence and sweetness like [TV series] Wagle Ki Duniya. The never-say-die attitude that Kundan's character have is very enduring. He can bang his head on a wall and still say that I am going to win."

Written and directed by Kundan, the film's music was composed by Jatin - Lalit. At the 39th Filmfare Awards, Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa picked up two awards, for Best Film (Critics), and Best Actor (Critics) for Shah Rukh.
