Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai (2000)

I love this movie so much. I think I have seen it 6 times and every time is a new experience. First off, when reading the trivia I learned that Hrithik asked his father to choose someone new other than Shahrukh Khan. That was a smart move. Although I love SRK, he is famous already and sometimes it is boring to see the same faces over and over again. I'm glad Hrithik changed this father's mind. Second, this was a beautiful entrance in introduce two new stars. Hrithik did not over act like in Mujhse Dosti Karonge and he was quite entertaining in this movie. Amisha (surprise) did not overact that much either. She was smooth and didn't do her hyperventilating crying. She added substance into the movie so it would be quite entertaining and Hrithik can flex his muscles and vent his anger. She and her cousin (in the movie) were funny. The story line, cinematography, songs and directing were wonderful and appealing. Rakesh Roshan and (I think) Rajesh (with the songs) did amazing jobs, making the audience thirsty for the songs and newcomers Hrithik Roshan and Amisha Patel.

Fmovies: good movie .... great songs .. all in all a good movie to watch out for... .. thanks to the gr8 music that makes this movie more special débutant's did well.... but did he deserve BEST ACTOR AWARD .shahrukh khan the same yr did superb in Mohabatein

Kaho Na Pyaar hai is a launch pad for his son Hritik Roshan and he attempts a different feel in this film. One expected the usual love story but the film has many surprises.

Rohit is a poor orphan, living with his younger borther and making a living selling cars in a showroom. He is also an aspiring singer. His path crosses that of Sonia, a rich and pampered girl and before we know it, love has blossomed. However, Sonia's father will not accept Rohit and Rohit promises to make it big and then return for Sonia. However, there is a sub-plot to the film, and it is when Rohit witnesses the murder of a policeman that the film begins takes a different turn. To reveal any more would be giving the story away.

Sadly, the film suffers from an implausible storyline. In an effort to move away from the usual love story, Roshan has chosen a subject, which is too far-fetched. However, it does make for engrossing viewing even though one is left with a feeling at the end of the film that just does not quite gel.

Fine, it has a Hrithik Roshan, and he gives a fantastic first performance, but come on, this film contains too many clichés to be called totally great. Ancient story, usual romance, cheesy dialogues are the correct descriptions for this mediocre film. I had so many expectations from this film because I generally like Rakesh Roshan's films and because it had such a positive reception. Well, but this was actually Rakesh's first film in a list of films made to promote his baby Hrithik. I started watching the film. I waited and waited hoping it would get better, but nothing happened. This film was just another commercial film and it fell flat. A guy meets a girl, they fall in love, he is killed by some criminals, time goes by and she meets another guy who looks exactly like her dead boyfriend. An ordinary romance turns into a thriller, and this thriller does not stand either.

Of course, not everything is that bad. The music is nice, and Hrithik Roshan gives a very impressive debut performance. He is good looking, his expressions are correct, and he is convincing in the two roles, though he is far better as Rohit, the simple guy, because he was a bit unnatural in his first few scenes as Raj, the cool guy. Anyway, it is just a debut role - I think he deserved all the acclaim, although he certainly deserved to win all the awards he won for his performance in that year's gem Fiza (where he was much better) rather than this average flick. I think it goes without saying that without him this film would have been totally unwatchable. Amisha Patel is pretty average in her debut performance and it's quite obvious that her voice was dubbed in this film. All in all, Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai is a nice one-time watch thanks to Hrithik, but otherwise I rank it along with Raja Hindustani and to a lesser extent Hum Aapke Hain Koun as one of the most ridiculous films to have become huge blockbusters and won so many awards.

Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai fmovies. If you know how to suspend disbelief, you will enjoy this movie. It was my first Hindi movie and I saw it in India. It was GREAT!! I don't normally enjoy musicals, but this was an exception. The singing & dancing were terrific. The title song is a big hit in India. The movie didn't look much like the India I saw, but the cinematography was excellent, and the sound was Dolby Digital (Indians like their movies loud). I could follow the storyline even though I understand no Hindi. It helped that there was a smattering of english throughout the movie. I can't wait to see it again with subtitles. Apparently most Indian movies have the same plot, singing, and dancing, so if you have seen a lot of these movies, it may not excite you like it did me, but I thought it was a well made (slick comes to mind), well acted, and a well produced piece of "Bollywood". The producer introduced his son with this picture, and he has become the heartthrob of India. I'm not good at analyzing movies so I'll finish by just saying, I came out of the theater with a smile on my face, and a tune in my head. This movie was FUN!

A great fun movie. The story line is not exactly original, but the direction, editing and choreography more than make up for it. Newcomers Hritik and Ameesha look great. The movie is fast paced and sustains interest throughout. And Hritik really is the biggest draw. He is hunky, dances well and can act too. Just the right stuff for a Hollywood star.

The new year 2000 is almost over and looking back at the year on the Hindi film industry - it hasn't been hot at all. Only 1 Superhit so far, way back in January! The year will be remembered of course for the debut of an actor named Hrithik Roshan who was a nationwide phenomenon in India. And in a nation of 1 billion people - that is a HUGE phenomenon.

It was a case of a great looking guy who entertained people - good promotional advertising on the producers part and partly due to the dismal performance of the Khans' films that Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai did that well. Kuch Kuch Hota Hai is leagues better and it would be criminal to compare this film to DDLJ (ah...the shudder of perfection). It's not that good.

The plot is simple and nothing we haven't seen before folks.

On vacation in New Zealand, an emotionally upset Sonia laments over the loss of her boyfriend Rohit; rich girl, poor boy scenario. But there is something familiar about the yuppie rich kid Raj, whom she meets at a dance club - an excellent scene made only more powerful by Lucky Ali's music track. A fast pace and 2 plot twists keep the movie highly entertaining and above average fare. The film is a bit of a thriller but mainly an entertainer, and I'm happy it does it's job here. Love stories don't always need a moral - we just want to have a good time. ( No, I won't call 'Believe in Love' a moral)

Director Rakesh Roshan manages to showcase all of his son's talents in this film: body build, dancing moves, a range of emotions and a knack for acting - something most actors in the industry today, lack.

Amisha Patel isn't given a lot to do here and thankfully does it well. She is very easy on the eyes - but of course! This is of course Hrithik's movie - the one that shot him into the the pre-adolescent hearts of every girl in the country, and their mothers too! He's under the spotlight 24/7 and a role model to many adolescent boys.

Hrithik's made a great first impression, but in an industry as whimsical as ours where you're only as good as your next movie he needs to diversify his roles (if that's possible in our industry) and keep the hits coming. I've got my fingers crossed for this guy - please don't be a one hit wonder.
