Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai (translation:Say that you are in love(with me)) is a 2000 Bollywood blockbuster movie directed by Rakesh Roshan. It focuses on the strange coincidence of two strangers looking physically alike. One of them is shot dead owing to conspiracy hatched by corrupt police in India and the other flies in to India from New Zealand to help find his killers.

The movie stars Hrithik Roshan in a dual role, and Amisha Patel and Anupam Kher. This movie was Hrithik Roshan's debut and the movie which made him an instant star in Bollywood. Not only did this movie launch Hrithik's career, but it also launched the careers of the actress Amisha Patel and the singer Lucky Ali. The film was a fan favourite, with crowd-pleasing song and dance numbers like "Ek Pal Ka Jeena," a BMW Z3 cruising through scenic locations of New Zealand, and star-power of Lucky Ali. It was a remake of the Tamil film, Love Birds.

[edit] Synopsis

Rohit (Hrithik Roshan) is an aspiring singer who meets Sonia Saxena (Amisha Patel). They end up going on a cruise together and eventually get stranded on a deserted island. They eventually fall deeply in love but her father (Anupam Kher) is bitterly opposed to their relationship. Unfortunately for Rohit he is killed by two corrupt policemen. Sonia goes into depression so her father sends her to New Zealand to her cousin to recover and get over Rohit.

When she reaches there she meets Raj, who looks like Rohit(also Hrithik Roshan). Sonia and Raj soon meet and he falls in love with her. But she doesn't return his love back, because she knows that her one true love is dead, and seeing someone's face which is so similar is just too painful. Sonia goes back to India and is followed by Raj. Raj ends up staying in India longer than he had expected as he is shot by the murderers of Rohit. Soon, the two begin to question whether Rohit's death was an accident or a murder. They figure out Rohit was murdered. So, Raj and Sonia's friends make-up a plan to find Rohit's killers. But the plan backfires and the murderers kidnap Sonia. Raj comes to the rescue and saves her. Then and there, he figures out who Rohit's killers are and surprisingly one of their accomplices is Sonia's father. Eventually, all ends well with the bad guys gone to jail, Raj and Sonia getting married(Sonia finally falls in love with Raj), and Rohit's soul finally resting in peace, but is never forgotten....
