Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Great for people who believe in big gestures and people who like their stories with a little heart-flutter. The chemistry carries it. Fans of Dil To Pagal Hai should feel right at home.
- The mood
- Funny with heart, romantic.
- The pace
- Takes its time with its characters, at 2 hr 23 min.

- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
Kashinath (Ajay Devgn) and Imli (Manisha Koirala) are childhood sweethearts and everyone expects them to marry. Then comes rich, wealthy, and sickly Anjali Chopra (Karisma Kapoor) into Kashinath's life, and then everything changes. Anjali gives up on her sickliness and becomes bold, thanks to Kashinath's care. Anjali falls in love with Kashinath, and boldly tells her dad, Manmohan Chopra (Dalip Tahil), that she will only marry Kashinath. But her dad wants her to wed Ajit (Avinash Wadhawan). Imli reveals her secret that she has heart disease, and if not treated, she will die. Kashinath, unaware of Anjali's affections must find the money to save his true love. What sacrifices will he have to make in order to achieve this?
