This is one of the most adorable movies ever made. The story may not be extremely original and some of the songs may not be great but the overall effect is sure to leave you smiling. Don't expect a deep art film or edge of the seat thriller this is a feel good movie with romance comedy and a little action. and even if you don't like the movie you will have to love the guy. This dude is gonna conqueor bollywood. Watch this great movie free of vulgarity and violence often filling the screen.and u will love kaho naa... pyaar hai
After reading about Hrithik Roshan, Bollywood's hottest movie star in GQ magazine, I was truly amazed at his popularity in his native India. I later watched the dvd release of KNPH, Hrithik Roshan's first hit movie. Directed by his father, this spirited romp is actually a made-to-order showcase for his handsome and talented son. Suffice to say that this film would have been very average, save for Hrithik Roshan who carries the entire production on his able shoulders. His charm and intense style are certainly enough to catch the interest of most any movie-goer.
Much of the movie is devoted to loving shots of Hrithik in various poses, and I'm certain that the female audiences in Mumbai were swooning in the crowded aisles each time he sang and danced. Much of what occurs on screen looks like a Hindi pop music video made for even pre-teenage audiences. A good comparison would be to the old movies of Elvis Presley! This may have had a bit more realism and action than those, but the entire proceedings focus on Hrithik's singing, dancing, and posing in a way that glamorizes him to that extent. It's obvious that multi-talented Hrithik Roshan could make it big in the U.S. if he so desires. That's the one thing that I will certainly remember out of this somewhat shallow, but lighthearted and colorful movie.

Catchy songs, great dancing, beautiful locations, decent story with a touch of "Vertigo (1958)" and the debut of Hrithik Roshan, Bollywood's (Hollywood's?) next superstar. Not to be missed if you are into commercial Indian films, if not, worth a try anyway. Attention! This movie can be addictive. Consume with moderation, now that the DVD is out. :-)
Rohit(hrithik) dreams to become a famous singer and works as a car salesman for living. He falls in love with sonia(amisha patel). Rohit delivers a car for her birthday. Then he also attracts his boss's son atul by singing in sonia's birthday party. Impressed with rohit, atul signs him to sing in a cruise where sonia also comes. Rohit and sonia get separated from the ship and land in a deserted island. Both of them confess their love towards each other. When sonia's father saxena(anupam kher) finds them, he tries to separate them but realises rohit's sincerity and gives him a chance to become independent. When rohit gets a chance to perform a live musical show, he gets murdered by inspector kadam and shinde as he was a witness of the commissioner's murder. Rohit's body gets missing and Sonia is left depressed. Saxena sends her to new zealand with his brother. There she meets rohits lookalike raj. Raj is a rich NRI and has never come to India. He falls in love with sonia but sonia gets more disturbed seeing raj. When raj knows about Rohit, he is first hurt but then goes to India for sonia. There he gets attacked by kadam and then both sonia and raj realise there is some foul play regarding rohit's death. Rest of the movie is how raj and sonia find rohit's killer.
In his debut, hrithik owes the film. Its his show all over. He brilliantly portrayed different characters of raj and rohit brilliantly. As rohit, he is handsome and charming on the other hand is classy and stylish as raj. Another highlight is rajesh roshan's chartbuster music. The songs along with hrithik's dance were a treat to watch. Amisha gets completely overshadowed. Story has nothing new to offer, script is average and climax is typical hero saving kidnapped heroine.
On the while knph is most remembered for hrithik roshan's performance and songs.

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!
