Starring

Shah Rukh Khan .... Rahul

Madhuri Dixit .... Pooja

Karisma Kapoor .... Nisha

Akshay Kumar .... Ajay



Director : Yash Chopra

Producer : Yash Chopra



When it comes to making of a romantic entertainer nobody can take the cake but for Yash Chopra himself. The story line is simple with the belief that 'somewhere someone is destined for all of us'. Never mind in case you got to wait till eternity. Ever heard of the adage 'Marriages are made in heaven'. Rahul (Shah Rukh Khan) is an ace director of stage musicals. Nisha (Karishma Kapoor) is his main artist who simply adores him. Enter Pooja (Madhuri Dixit) as Nisha breaks her leg bone and can't resume being Ms Tinkle Toes for Rahul's musicals. You guessed it right! Rahul sees the woman of his dreams in Pooja. But Pooja is already committed to Mr Biceps - Akshay Kumar the jet setting business tycoon. Meanwhile, even if Pooja is deeply in love with Rahul, she holds back. Well! All's well that ends well.

And so, Pooja at last does accept Rahul's proposal. Destiny, you know. As far as Nisha, she tries to find her Mr Right in Akki baby. Though Yash can't give his die hard fans again a run-away-hit like DDLJ, this movie is worth watching for its exotic foreign locales and excellent choreography by Shiamak Davar and Farha Khan. Madhuri's age shows in some scenes but nevertheless she looks gorgeous as she is a natural beauty. Karishma is stunning and full of life through out the movie.Something's amiss as far as Shah Rukh Khan is concerned. Perhaps, his extraordinary energy





Synopsis



Shah Rukh runs a dance troupe and teaches jazz. Karishma is a promising and talented member of the troupe. There is a lot of camaraderie between the two. The two are great chums.



It is revealed that Karishma harbors a soft corner for SRK but SRK doesn't feel the same way towards her. He is waiting for his dream girl who would be the heroine of his dream ballet and his life.



In steps Madhuri, looking slightly plump and older, to complete the love triangle. It takes time for Nisha (Karishma) to accept a woman other than her in Rahul's (SRK) life. But she eventually accepts Pooja (Madhuri).



To give twist to events, there's Akshay Kumar making a guest appearance as Pooja's childhood friend and now her suitor. But Rahul and Pooja's love for each other triumphs in the end
