Prem's elder brother, Rajesh (Mohnish Behl), is to be married to Nisha's elder sister, Pooja (Renuka Shahane). Prem's uncle (Alok Nath) and Nisha's parents (Anupam Kher and Reema Lagoo) were college friends and when they meet, they arrange Rajesh and Pooja's marriage. During the marriage a lot of fun and mischief happens until it is time for Pooja to leave to her new home.

Prem gets along well with his sister-in-law, and soon they discover that Pooja is pregnant. Pooja's parents are unable to come to the ceremony marking the arrival of the baby so they send Nisha instead. While she is there, she and Prem fall in love with each other. Later, Nisha's parents come over to Pooja's house for a few days and when they have to go, everybody persuades them to stay over for a day. Then when the day for them to leave comes, everybody is sad, especially Prem as he has become very close to Nisha.

Then one day Pooja goes to stay at her parents' house and Prem follows her there. Once they reach the house, Pooja finds out that Prem and Nisha love each other. She promises to get them married and gives Nisha the family necklace. Then the phone rings and Pooja goes to answer it. She is very happy and is hopping down the stairs when her foot accidentally slips and she dies after falling off the stairs. Everybody is sad about the accident. Nisha takes good care of Pooja's child and everybody thinks that she will be a great mother to the baby and so Prem's father and Nisha's parents talks about a marriage between Rajesh and Nisha. Nisha overhears her parents talking about her being the daughter-in-law of the house that her sister was from, and she mistakenly thinks that she is getting married to Prem. Later at a preparation ceremony, she finds out that she is marrying Rajesh.

Prem and Nisha agree to sacrifice their love for Rajesh and the baby. At the wedding, Nisha gives Tuffy (Prem's dog) the necklace that her sister had given her together with a letter, to pass it to Prem. Tuffy gives the necklace and letter to Rajesh and he realises that Prem loves Nisha. In the end, he confronts them and Nisha and Prem marry each other.

THE STORY:

Lagaan takes place in the town of Champaner, Central India during the height of the British Empire in India in 1893. Captain Andrew Russell (Paul Blackthorne), the commanding officer of the Champaner cantonment, has imposed high taxes ("lagaan") on people from the local villages which they will be unable to pay due to a prolonged drought. Led by Bhuvan (Aamir Khan), they beg Raja Puran Singh (Kulbhushan Kharbanda) to help them. He tells them that much to his regret, he is also bound by British law.

It is after their visit to the Raja that the people of the village first witness a cricket match. Bhuvan mocks the game and gets into a fight with one of the British officers. Taking an instant dislike to Bhuvan, Russell offers to cancel the taxes of the whole province for three years if the villagers can beat his men in a game of cricket. If the villagers lose, however, they will have to pay three times the amount of their normal taxes. Bhuvan accepts this wager on the behalf of all villages without their consent. When the other villagers find out about the bet, they are furious with Bhuvan. He argues that it is important for everyone to fight against British rule.

Bhuvan thus begins to prepare the villagers for the match. He is aided in his efforts by Russell's sister Elizabeth (Rachel Shelley) who feels that her brother has mistreated the people in the villages. As she teaches them the rules of the game, she falls in love with Bhuvan, much to the anguish of Gauri (Gracy Singh) who is also in love with him. After Bhuvan reassures Gauri of his feelings for her, the woodcutter Lakha (Yashpal Sharma) becomes enraged as he is also in love with Gauri. In an attempt to discredit Bhuvan, Lakha offers himself as a spy for Russell and joins the villager's team in order to destroy it. Still short one player, Bhuvan also invites an untouchable, Kachra (Aditya Lakhia), who can bowl a leg spin. The villagers, conditioned by longterm prejudice against untouchables, refuse to play if Kachra joins the team. Bhuvan chastises the villagers, leading them to accept Kachra.

The second half of the film focuses on the match itself. On the first day, Russell wins the toss and elects to bat, giving the British officers a strong start. Bhuvan brings Kachra into the match only to find that Kachra has lost his ability to spin the ball. In addition, as part of his agreement with Russell, Lakha deliberately drops many catches. During the evening, however, Elizabeth sees Lakha meeting with her brother. She races to the village and informs Bhuvan of Lakha's deception. Rather than allow the villagers to kill him, Bhuvan offers Lakha the chance to redeem himself. The next day the British score almost 300 runs, losing only three wickets by the lunch break. As part of his promise to Bhuvan, Lakha takes a diving one-handed catch which sparks the British batting collapse. Kachra is brought back to bowl and takes a hat trick.

The villagers soon start their innings. Bhuvan & Deva (a sikh, who has played cricket earlier when he was a British sepoy) give their team a solid start. Deva misses out on his half-century when a straight -drive from Bhuvan ricochets off the bowler's hand onto the stumps at the non-striker's end, while Deva was backing up too far. When Lakha comes on to bat, he is hit by a bouncer on his head, and he falls on to his stumps. Other batsmen get out trying to score boundary off each delivery. Ismail (Raj Zutshi), a good batsman, retires hurt as he is hit on his leg. The villagers' team ends the day with 5 batsmen out of action with less than half of the required runs on board.

On the final day, Bhuvan passes his century, while most of the later wickets fall. Ismail returns to bat with the help of a runner & reduces the required runs to a gettable total. The game comes down to the last over with Kachra on strike. He knocks the ball a short distance and manages a single. The umpire signals no ball leading Bhuvan to swing extremely hard at the next ball. Captain Russell backpedals and catches the ball, leading him to believe the British team has won. However, Russell has caught the ball beyond the boundary which gives the win to Bhuvan's team. At that moment, the drought ends as a rainstorm erupts.

Bhuvan's defeat of the British team leads to the disbanding of the humiliated cantonment. In addition, Russell is forced to pay the taxes for the whole province and is transferred to Central Africa. After realizing that Bhuvan loves Gauri, Elizabeth returns to London. Heartbroken, she remains unmarried for the rest of her life. Bhuvan marries Gauri at a large wedding.

#23: DIL SE: 1998

THE STORY:

Amarkant "Amar" Varma (Shahrukh Khan), an All-India Radio journalist living in Delhi, India, is dispatched to the troubled North-Eastern region to report on attitudes relating to the 50th Anniversary of Indian independence. There, he interviews a terrorist leader on his group's motivation and ethics. He meets Meghna (Manisha Koirala) at a railway station and chats with her. But when he goes to get her a cup of tea, Meghna departs on a train with three men. Some weeks later he spots her in the street and accosts her but she resists and pretends not to recognise him. Amar comes near where she lives and tells her he loves her from the heart, "dil se." To stop him from following her, Meghna tells him that she is married. Amar feels embarrassed for flirting with a married woman, and sincerely wishes to apologize to her. He arranges a meeting with her to do so, but she brings two mysterious men with her, who subsequently take Amar away and beat him. This harsh experience invigorates Amar to find Meghna again. After finding out her plans to visit Ladakh, he follows her with the convenient excuse of reporting on the local festivities and she gives him the slip there too.

As Amar heads home, he finds her on the same bus. He starts flirting with her and mocking her for having her supposed husbands beat him up. Then the security guard asks Amar his business, and Amar tells him he's reporting in the festivals. The guard asks Meghna what her business is and she tells him she is with Amar. The bus breaks down and the passengers are forced to walk a two-day journey to their destination. Amar nearly loses Meghna again but catches up with her, angered about the fact she had used him, and accusing her of being a morally loose tease. She tells him her name and that the two men who beat him were her brothers. Amar tries to aggressively advance upon Meghna, which causes her a painful anxiety attack.

During the pair's two day walk they have a whirlwind adventure through the desert. Though the two fall for each other, Meghna slips away and leaves Amar to return to the safety of Delhi alone. Upon is return, he finds that his family want him to meet Preeti Nair (Preity Zinta), a potential bride. Amar and Preeti both agree to get married. Then Meghna shows up in Delhi and comes to Amar's house, on the day he is to be engaged to Preeti, and asks for a place to stay, which Amar and his family give her. It is revealed that she is a member of a terrorist group, who came to Delhi to kill the prime minister on the Republic Day parade. When Amar finds out about her plan, he takes her away and confronts her. They get into an argument resulting in Amar tugging on Meghna's clothes, suspecting her of carrying a weapon or wearing a bomb vest. He is taken by the police for molestation. However, other members of Meghna's terrorist group negotiate with the policeman to release Amar. They then take him and beat him up again, leaving him in an empty corner, bleeding and in pain. Amar hears a phone ring and picks it up and realises it is Meghna (who is trying to call one of them). On the phone he begs her to come to him while pretending that her friends are still beating him up. Meghna cuts off the phone and begins to cry and feel guilt for what she has done to Amar. Amar escapes and the next day finds Meghna (he had planned to stop her from carrying on with the terrorist attack). She clearly tells him to stay away from her. Amar begs and pleads, but when he embraces her she yells out because he might activate the bomb in her vest. He then whispers in her ear, "If you won't come with me, take me with you." After Amar's continued imploring and begging, Meghna's intense inner struggle subsides; she embraces Amar, detonating the bomb and killing them both.

#25 HUM DIL DE CHUKE SANAM: 1999

THE STORY:

The story of the movie is adopted from Maitreyi Devi's bengali novel Na Hanyate.

Nandini (Aishwarya Rai) is the daughter of Pandit Darbar (Vikram Gokhale), renowned proponent of Indian classical music, living in the Rann of Kutch. Nandini has been brought up with more freedom and education than her siblings, as she is the most beloved of Pandit Darbar.

Into this carefree life enters Sameer (Salman Khan), a boy of Indo-Italian parentage who wants to learn Indian classical music from Pandit Darbar. Sameer stays with the Darbar family, and Nandini is asked to vacate her room to give the guest the nicest room in the manor. Nandini takes a dislike to Sameer, and the two keep playing pranks on each other, but soon realise they are in love. Their love blossoms in the Darbar household around weddings, festivals and family get togethers.

One day the pair are caught rehearsing their wedding vows and dreaming of their future together by Pandit Darbar, who becomes furious with them. He has already planned Nandini's wedding. Sameer is kicked out of the house and asked never to contact Nandini again. Sameer does not leave India immediately. He stays in town and writes letters to Nandini asking her to join him, but his letters do not reach her in time.

Nandini's parents have arranged to get her married to Vanraj (Ajay Devgan) - who had fallen in love with Nandini during her cousin's wedding. On the wedding night, Vanraj realises that Nandini is not herself, and tries to ask her why she is not responding to his love. He asks her for the truth, promising he will help her no matter what. Nandini stays quiet, but is later caught reading Sameer's letters. Vanraj is very angry at first as all he had asked was the truth from her.

When he realises that his wife is in love with another man, he shows the ultimate love by taking Nandini to Italy and help her search for Sameer, much to the dislike of his own parents.

Nandini and Vanraj arrive in Italy and start searching for Sameer, but always come up against a dead end. During their search, they face many problems and dilemmas and slowly Nandini gets to see what Vanraj really is like. She sees Vanraj selflessly devoting himself to caring for her during her stay in hospital after an incident.

Eventually they get news about Sameer (through his mother - played by Helen), and Vanraj arranges for Nandini to meet Sameer on the night of his debut concert. His job done, Vanraj says goodbye to Nandini and walks away. Nandini and Sameer meet, but Nandini's feelings for him have changed. She reflects on the unwavering love and devotion that Vanraj showed her throughout their whole relationship, and realises that she loves him. She leaves Sameer to go after Vanraj.

#26: VEER ZARA 2004

THE STORY:

Most of the story is revealed as a flashback from prison cell of Veer Pratap Singh (Shahrukh Khan).

The narrative begins by showing Zaara Haayat Khan (Preity Zinta), an independent, carefree, and sprightly young Pakistani girl travelling to India. She is on her way to India with the ashes of her Sikh governess Bebe (a Punjabi word to denote mother or grandmother, but here used for Zaara's old governess). Before dying, Bebe (Zohra Sehgal) begs Zaara to fulfill her final wish - to take her ashes to India, to the holy Sikh city of Kiritpur, and scatter them in the river, among her ancestors. Zaara decides to carry out Bebe's dying wish.

Upon reaching India, Zaara's bus meets with an accident causing it to overturn. An Indian Air Force pilot, Squadron Leader Veer Pratap Singh (Shahrukh Khan) comes to her rescue and with his help, Zaara completes Bebe's final rites. Veer convinces Zaara to return with him to his village to spend one day together. Zaara agrees and Veer takes her on a tour of India's Punjab. They visit Veer's home village on the day of the Lohri festival and meet Veer's parents (Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini). With his father telling Veer that, in a dream he has seen Zaara becoming Veer's wife, Veer realizes he is falling in love with Zaara. Taking her to catch her train to Lahore, Veer is just waiting for the right time to tell Zaara about his feelings, but before he can do that they are met by Zaara's fiance, who has come looking for her, Raza (Manoj Bajpai). Just before she is to board the train, Veer confesses his love and then watches sadly as Zaara boards the train that will take her back to Pakistan. Veer gets no sense of Zaara's feelings, but as she is leaving he discovers her still has one of her silver anklets. She nods for him to keep it; both believe that this is the end of the road for their relationship and and that they will probably never meet again.

On reaching Pakistan, Zaara realizes that she deep feelings for Veer, but that it is her duty to keep her family's honor and marry her fiancé, a wedding that will further her father's political career. But Zaara starts to see Veer's face everywhere and finally tells her mother that she has fallen in love with Veer. Zaara's maid and friend Shabbo calls Veer and tells him how miserable Zaara is without him, she dares him to come and take Veer away; back to India. Veer who had told Zaara that he would give up his life for her, quits the Indian Air Force and goes to Pakistan to bring her back with him to India. Zaara's mother, Mariam Hayaat Khan (Kirron Kher), however, begs him to leave Zaara as Zaara's father, Jahangir Hayaat Khan (Boman Irani) is a high-profile politician whose reputation, and health, will be ruined if news gets out that his daughter is in love with an Indian. Veer respects this request and decides to leave for India but Raza, who is outraged by the shame Zaara has brought upon him, frames Veer and has him wrongly imprisoned on charges of being an Indian spy Rajesh Rathod.

The story moves forward by 22 years and Veer now meets Saamiya Siddiqui (Rani Mukerji), who is an idealistic Pakistani lawyer, whose mission in life is to pave the path for women's empowerment in Pakistan. The Pakistani government has decided to review the cases of some Indians, but stacking the deck against Siddiqui winning her first case, she has been given prisoner 786's case (Veer) a man who has not spoken a word to anyone in 22 years. Many view it as an impossible task as the man has been languishing in prison and has not spoken for the last 22 years.

Veer opens up to Saamiya and tells her that she can do anything for fighting his case except mention, much less subpoena, Zaara's family. The number 786 is considered to be a holy number in Islam, this convinces Saamiya that God has chosen Veer for some special purpose, and she becomes even more determined to exonerate him, restore his name and identity, and return him to his country.

After the prosecution, presents it case, Saamiya realizes she must cross the boarder and find someone in Veer's village who can prove Veer's true identity. There, Saamiya meets Zaara- who had fled to India and has taken over running the girl's school after the deaths of Veer's parents, she has thought that Veer died on his bus that ran off a cliff, killing everyone on its way to India. Saamiya takes Zaara back to Pakistan to tell the court the truth about Veer's identity. The judge releases Veer from prison and apologizes on behalf of Pakistan. After Veer is finally released, he and Zaara bid goodbye to Saamiya and Pakistan at the Wagah border crossing, returning to their village together, where Veer, now the aging village elder, continues his father's dangerous habit of playing hockey with much younger men and boys

THE STORY:

The plot for this movie has been copied from an English Classic movie "It happened one night". The film was the first to win all five major Academy Awards (Best Picture, Director, Actor, Actress, and Screenplay).

Pooja Dharamchand (Pooja Bhatt) is the daughter of a rich Mumbai shipping tycoon, Seth Dharamchand (Anupam Kher). She is head over heels in love with movie star Deepak Kumar (Sameer Chitre), but her father strongly disapproves of their courtship. One night, Pooja escapes from her father's yacht and hops on a bus to Bangalore to be with Deepak, who is on a shooting there. Meanwhile, Seth Dharamchand, realizing his daughter has run away, dispatches private detectives to locate her.

On the bus to Bangalore, Pooja meets Raghu Jetley (Aamir Khan), a loud-mouth newspaperman who has just lost his job. He offers to help her in exchange for an exclusive story on her, which would revive his flagging career. Pooja is forced to agree to his demands, as he threatens to let her father know of her whereabouts should she not comply. After the bus breaks down, Raghu and Pooja go through various adventures together, and in their course find themselves falling more and more in love with each other. Raghu desires to marry Pooja, but financially he is in no shape to do so. He simply wanted a story on her life, but never wanted to win her heart. But later on he falls for her. Pooja also falls for Raghu and she decides to go with him but a misunderstanding leads her to believe that Raghu was just looking for a story and not her love. She calls it quits and goes back to Kher and agrees to marry Deepak. On the wedding day she realises her mistake and then runs away from the marriage mandap to Raghu and the movie ends on a good note.

#27: KAL HO NA HO: 2003:

What would you do if your road in life is heading for a dead-end? What would you do if you had to fight a fatal illness when you haven’t yet reached a peak moment in your life? What would you do if the love of your life is being snatched from your hands while you’re drowning in the agony of your terminal ailment?

Would you turn to your family for love and support? Would you change your perspective on life? Or would you just take a step back and leave the world of sorrow and spend your last moments alone in solace. These are some of the difficult decisions that Aman Mathur (Shahrukh Khan) has to make throughout Kal Ho Naa Ho.

Kal Ho Naa Ho takes place in Manhattan, New York, and is the story of three friends, Aman, Rohit (Saif Ali Khan), and Naina (Preity Zinta), who travel on a journey that teaches them the true meaning of friendship. It teaches them to discover themselves, and to find the courage to live through times of happiness and times of sorrow.

With the constant arguments and bickering in her semi-Punjabi/semi-Christian family, Naina, 23, is completely distraught by the conditions which surround her. In addition to this, she is bombarded with the responsibilities of taking care of her younger brother and sister, as well as helping her mother, Jennifer (Jaya Bachchan) handle the family’s economical complications. Between all these burdens Naina never has time for herself. Then comes Aman. He moves into Naina’s small Indian neighborhood, and with him he brings his joyfulness and charming personality. He helps solve everyone’s problems and helps them face the obstacles and challenges that life usually has in store.

Much to Naina’s dismay, Aman demands on intervening in her life also. He makes her do things that she would never have dreamt of doing. His constant nagging eventually teaches Naina how to smile once again. In doing so, Aman joins with his friend Rohit in trying to help Naina find her happiness that has been lost in the wraths of time.

In Kal Ho Naa Ho the power of friendship starts to weave it’s magic over these three friends. But to their unpleasant surprise, a fatal turn of events cause chaos between all three of them. What are these fatal events that cause a ruckus of emotions? What will happen to Naina, Aman, and Rohit? Find out on November 28, 2003 when Karan Johar/Nikhil Advani release this mega-blockbuster venture that is sure to have you on a roller-coaster of emotions.

Story wise, it seems that Kal Ho Naa Ho has shades of Hrikesh Mukherjee’s classical film, Anand. However, Karan Johar speaks the contrary. He says that Kal Ho Naa Ho is about love and revolves around four people. It isn’t a love triangle, but an urban film about friends, mother-son relationship, and about three people whose lives are intertwined by he powerful force of love and friendship.

If Kal Ho Naa Ho asks “Who knows what tomorrow holds,” what can we ask for? Life is a precious gift of god. Always make the most of it. Whatever long-term goals you have, start pursuing them today. What do we have to lose? Try to see the beauty of the world around you everytime you step outside. Try to smell the sweet fragrance that the moving wind brings. Try to hear the soft sounds that mother nature bears. For this is life, the ultimate love. Make the most out of your life. Love…Laugh…Live…Who knows what tomorrow has in store?

THE STORY:

Based on the play Cyrano de Bergerac, written in 1897 by French author Edmond Rostand, Aman (Sanjay Dutt) is a poor, lame orphan who is befriended by wealthy Akash Verma (Salman Khan) during his childhood. Akash's parents adopt Aman and give him their family name, so Akash and Aman grow up as brothers. While Akash is a womanizer, Aman takes to writing poems under the pen name Sagar. The poems get published, and Aman becomes very popular. One of his fans is a young woman by the name of Pooja Saxena (Madhuri Dixit), who corresponds with Sagar. Akash meets Pooja and falls head over heels in love with her. When Aman comes to know this, he asks Akash to pose as Sagar, which he does, then Pooja and Akash fall in love with each other. A heartbroken Aman looks on, as he knows that although women may like his poetry, they will never come out openly and love him when they see his handicap. At the end, Akash discovers that Aman is actually Sagar and loves Pooja, so he decides to sacrifice his love for Aman's sake.

considering it was 1981 movie and dealt with extra-marital affair....it was very well done.

Villagebelle, Amit Ji prapa bad yuh kno, he sings Ranga Barse and hug up Sanjeev wife in front of the man.

Talash was a very good love story. Rajendra and Saira Banu.

Asl, You remembered Sangam but forgot the Great Saathi with rajendra and Vijayantymala. Now dat is a love classic.
