हर दिल जो प्यार करेगा

It's one of my favorite Hindi movies of Rani Mukherjee, who is one of my most favorite actresses...It's remake of a Malayalam film named Chandralekha which is directed by Priyadarshan. I have watched the original as well. There are some changes in the Hindi version but the main story is the same. I love both Chandralekha and HDJPK. Here, Chandra's character is portrayed by Rani and Preity played the role of Lekha. The story, casts, songs everything are good...Actually, the story is okay but sometimes an ordinary piece can be such an extra-ordinary thing...All the songs are excellent...I like most 'Piya Piya' and 'Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega'...I love the duo of Rani and Preity so much...They set a major friendship goal...And the ending!!!...It can't be expressed in words...Shah Rukh and Salman are singing together the famous song from the Raj Kapoor's film Sangam...The 'Karan' and 'Arjun'!!!...This scene was not there in Chandralekha. That's why I love HDJPK's ending more.

I have to admit I have NOT seen the movie but I want to comment on it. The last comment really trashed the movie. I have seen several of the songs on the smashing EROS International DVD Chart Toppers and they are fantastic. Really hard driving music and dancing. Even if the rest of the movie would turn out to be garbage, these hot songs would be the magic mushrooms on top of the dung hill. Iwould buy or see this movie for the songs alone. But then its the music and dance that I love about Bollywood movies. And while we are at it - check out Chart Toppers - forty five songs - four hours of Indian MTV with no commercials. Char Tppers from Yas Raj films is another excellent Bollywood musical compilation.

Raju (Salman Khan) is a singer hoping to get a singing career.He goes to Bombay,stays with his friend,and tries to make things happen.But then one night,a car flies out of nowhere and lands on a railroad track,and the first thing he sees is bangles,which means she is a wife.Then he saves her (Pooja,played by the wonderful Rani Mukherjee) and is now labled as Pooja's husband.

One of Pooja's relatives Monty,does not believe that he is really Romi,who Pooja married,but Pooja's friends father befriends him so he doesnt get into trouble.Pooja is in a coma for a few days,and her sister-like friend Janvhi (Preity Zinta) comes from America to stay with her.Then Raj falls in love with her,and vice versa.Then Pooja gets out of a coma,and falls in love with Raj!But,a twist.......HAR DIL JO PYAR KAREGA (EVERY HEART THAT FALLS IN LOVE)

Rani Mukherjee is the saving grace of this film that only gets mature by the second half.It is very foolish and has no meaning.But the fact that it was a hit in India,makes you wonder.The songs are mostly boring and stupid,besides the title track and 'Piya,Piya'.Go see it if you can handle a movie that is a little better than Pootie Tang,which was just dumb.3 out of 5

Har Dil Jo Pyaar Karega has all the ingredients needed to make this movie a hit. A great cast as well as songs.

The movie starts out with Raj (Salman Khan) going to Mumbai from Goa hoping to make it big in the music industry. But he finds out that things aren't as easy as they seem to be and he ends up staying at his friend's place. One night, he witnesses an accident and ends up saving the life of Pooja (Rani Mukherjee). Her family thinks that Raj is Pooja's husband as she left home to marry the guy she loves. Raj is not given a chance to explain but then he realizes that this is the opportunity he's been waiting for because her family was very rich. Pooja ends up in a coma but she can hear and see whatever is going on. Pooja's best friend, Jhanvi (Preity Zinta) comes in from the US after hearing about her accident and she meets Raj. She falls for him but doesn't do anything because she thinks that Raj is Pooja's husband. After she finds out that it is not true, she starts to fall in love with him. In the meantime, Pooja has also started falling in love with Raj and when she wakes up from her coma, she identifies Raj as her husband although that is not true.

The rest of the story deals with how the situation is resolved and who finally gets Raj. It is a pretty good movie, but the first half was too long. There is only one song in there which I really like, and that is 'Piya Piya'. The acting done by both the actresses was excellent! As for Salman, he overdoes it in some scenes and he really should think about getting another dress designer for himself! But, other than that, it is a watchable movie. Fans of Rani and Preity should definitely watch this movie!

The movie is just a typical Indian film, nothing special about it. The only good parts, and the only parts I remember, were the special appearances by Shahrukh Khan. I'm not a huge fan of his, but his tiny, little 2 minute scenes stole the show.
