Beautiful young woman falls in love with poor, but honest, young man. He witnesses a crime committed by associates of her father, and is murdered on the eve of the concert which would have made him a huge success. Heartbroken young woman is sent to New Zealand, where fate has a strange trick to play upon her. Another young man with the face of her murdered love.
The story is not particularly original, but is materially lifted by the engaging performances of the two leads. This was Hrithik's debut, and as such it is a very assured performance. He is heart-meltingly sweet as both Rohit and Raj, and he does manage to convey the differences between them quite effectively (quite a difficult task as they are both "nice" young men).
The songs are quite catchy, and whilst the dancing isn't as good as Hrithik's later films, I fully understand why this film made him a superstar. Theatrically, not especially challenging, but he manages to play the two roles as two different people.
This is a sweet, lovely popcorn movie, buy it on DVD to enjoy...
