Thakur (Dharmendra) stays with his nephew Vishal (Arbaaz
Khan) and niece Muskan (Kajol). Vishal is very arrogant
and too protective about his sister Muskan. Vishal agrees
to send Muskan to the city to study in college. Muskan falls in
love with Suraj (Salman Khan) who is the sole heir of a
millionaire and studies in the same college. But their
love affair is not approved by Vishal and he gets into a
fight with Suraj. Vishal takes Muskan back home.
The rest
of the film is about how Suraj makes all attempts to
impress Vishal and finally wins Muskan. There are also
some villains in the film who are trying to grab lands
which do not belong to them. Ultimately love triumphs
over all the hurdles.
It is a
different Salman in this film (one reason is his
versatile performance and the other is that he removes
his shirt every two minutes). Instead of being very
romantic, he has shown more of his comic antics in which
he has been very successful. He is good in song
sequences. Kajol does not have much scope. She has not
put any extra effort to rise above the script. Arbaaz
Khan's character is not very well-defined but under
proper direction could have performed very well.
Dharmendra does not have an important role. And yes,
there is Anjala Zaveri who plays the role of Arbaaz's
heroine. She hardly has anything to do.
The
highlight of the film is its music which has already
become very popular. The title track, "Odh Li
Chunariya Tere Naam Ki" could quite easily have
been titled "Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya".
It has lyrics by Sudhakar Sharma and music by Himesh
Reshamiya, whose only claim to fame so far is the title
song of the TV soap, 'ANDAZ'; however, the track is well
tuned and rather intricate. It's just a pity that the
freshness of the composition is dampened somewhat by the
ubiquitous singing pair, Alka Yagnik and Kumar Sanu!
Iqbal
Sabri and Afzal Sabri join Anupama Deshpande to sing what
else but a qawwali, "Teri Jawani Badi Mast Mast
Hai". Iqbal Sabri has written the lyrics which
are tuned by Sajid Wajid, creating a qawwali in true
'Sabri Bros.' style. The rest of the soundtrack belongs
to Sameer and Jatin-Lalit.
