Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon - 2003

Story

The film follows the trials of a young woman, Sanjana (Kareena Kapoor), who lives a picture perfect life with her extended family, her pet dog, and a computerized parrot. Sanjana's parents begin looking for a suitable husband for her. They find a man named Prem. Sanjana agrees to meet Prem (Hrithik Roshan), and a song and a dance later, falls deeply in love with him. But there's trouble brewing. It turns out, there is another Prem (Abhishek Bachchan) in town. A love triangle forms, and Sanjana is forced to choose between the two Prem?s. But her choice can have dire repercussions; she has to choose between her love for Prem (Hrithik) and her family's wishes for her.

The film's script may as well have come off of an assembly line, and Barjatya's treatment is just as hackneyed. Like almost every other Hindi film in the genre, the first half is filled with pseudo-comedy sketches, college dance functions, songs in foreign locales, and overwhelmingly shallow situations that allegedly depict two people falling deeply in love. The second half is full of loud dramatic outbursts, confrontations, and silly baseless actions by self-sacrificial characters. And Barjatya's trademark preaching of traditional Indian values is present throughout; so much so that, in parts, the film seems like propaganda paid for by the Indian government?s cultural preservation departments. Not an ounce of the tons of melodrama in the film is compelling; audiences have seen these same stock characters in these same synthetic situations in almost every other love triangle-drama film that is released in India.
