Karan Johar often reflects on his past work with a eye of scrutiny. While he has hits like `Kuch Kuch Hota Hai` and `Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham` to his credit, he has often said how he was not confident of the latter. The multi-starrer `K3G` was released in 2001, a year when Sunny Deol`s `Gadar: Ek Prem Katha` was considered a benchmark for commercial success.
Talking about the year of K3G`s release in an interview with Pinkvilla, Johar said, "I called up everybody (his distributors after the release of K3G), the Punjab distributor said, ‘Han, bahut badi hit hai par Gadar jaisi nahi hai` (Yes, it`s a very big hit, but not like Gadar) (laughs). So I said, ‘Theek hai bhaiya. Number 2 toh hai na. Wo main seh loonga. Par flop toh nahi hai na? (It`s okay. But it`s number 2, no? I can bear that. But it`s not a flop, right?).’ He said, ‘Kya bol rahe ho! Full shows ja rahe hain (What are you saying? All the shows are full).’ So I was like, ‘Thank God`,”
