'Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega' It plucks few strings

‘Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega,’ unlike many love triangles in which we have two guys vying for a girl, has two beautiful girls – the dimpled damsel Preity Zinta and the ‘Khandala girl’ Rani Mukherjee – swooning over the brawny Salman.

‘Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega’ is the story of a young orphan Raj (Salman Khan) who comes from Goa to Mumbai dreaming of becoming a singer and making it big in the music world. After roaming the streets of Mumbai, Raj realizes how difficult it is for a newcomer to get the first break in the highly competitive music industry.

Disappointed and disillusioned, Raj is about to give up and return to Goa when he meets Pooja (Rani Mukherjee), whom he saves from death in an accident. While Pooja is recovering from her coma, her family mistakes Raj for her beau.

Pooja is a rich girl, and Raj senses a chance to realize his ambitions. On the insistence of her family, he even takes to living with them. But soon he meets the lady of his dreams Jahnavi (Preity Zinta) and falls for her. Things get complicated as Pooja and Jahnavi turn out to be best of friends. So close are they to each other that they think alike, dress alike and even fall in love with the same man--Raj.

Just as it happens in all eternal love triangles, either of the two (Pooja or Jahnavi) must sacrifice her love. But there is no loser in the end as one walks off with Salman and the other with Shah Rukh, who makes a special appearance in the end.

Quite surprisingly there is no ego clash between the two actresses who seem to have delivered quite a performance. Salman, once again looks dashing.

The cast includes Paresh Rawal, Shakti Kapoor, Asrani, Satish Shah, Razzak Khan and Rajiv Verma.

Anu Malik’s music and Sameer’s lyrics brings an extra zing into the movie – particularly the title song ‘Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega’ and other foot-stomping numbers like ‘Piya O Piya’ and ‘Ek Garam Chai Ki Pyali’.

Raj Kanwar, who has earlier made hits like ‘Deewana’, ‘Jeet’ and ‘Judai’, is the director and Sajid Nadiadwala the producer.

“Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega” fails to offer anything new to the audience. However it does pluck a few strings
