Mujhse Dosti Karoge


Mujhse Dosti Karoge didn’t really jingle at the box office, but I LOVED IT! This really was Hrithiks movie, even if all the reviews state that Rani ruled. The dialogues are really good, I don’t even mind the reference to gobhi ke parate (which happens a bit too often). I actually liked this movie more than Kunal Kohli’s next, Hum Tum, which was a block buster hit. You see streaks of grey in Hrithiks character in the second half of the movie.
The movie is about three friend – Raj (Hrithik Roshan), Tina (Kareena Kapoor) and Pooja (Rani Mukeerji).The movie opens with Raj leaving for London along with his parents. He’s got a crush on Tina and sends her emails on Pooja’s computer. (This can be highly argued ‘cause u can send mail from any system. Raj never realized that Tina didn’t have a mail id?). Tina conveniently ignores his messages, but Pooja stays in contact – in Tina’s name! slowly but surely (obviously), Raj and Pooja fall in love with each other. Then one day Raj sends Pooja an email saying that he’s coming to India! Not knowing what to do, Pooja goes to Tina for help. Tina agrees to pretend having sent Raj all the emails. She is oblivious to the love that has bloomed between her two friends. In spite of this Pooja hopes that Raj would realize that it was she who had sent him all those emails. She is shattered when Raj walks straight up to Tina, instead of herself.
Raj proclaims his love to Tina, who tries to play hard to get. He gets confused as he realizes that she seems like a totally different person compared to her mails. He is attracted to Pooja too, but thinks it is friendship. The scene where Raj and Pooja dance to Raj Kapoor’Pyaar hua ikraar hua… is really romantic. Suddenly both become uncomfortable for just that split second. Oh! Beautifully done.Soon Raj has to return to London for a couple of weeks. Pooja too lands up in London cause of some course that she is doing. Can love be far behind? But now Tina too begins to love Raj. To make matters worse, just when Raj and Pooja return to inform every one of their love, Tina’s dad expires. Now Pooja feels Tina and the rest of the family just cannot handle the news of her marrying Raj. So, she asks Raj to marry Tina instead. Raj is furious, but is unable to convince Pooja to change her mind. He therefore agrees to what she says, but on the condition that Pooja too marry some one before he gets married, or else he would leave Tina at the mantap itself.
Soon the whole family goes to London for the wedding. Here, enters the charming Rohan (Uday Chopra), Raj’s friend. He very promptly falls for Pooja. She tries avoiding him but eventually becomes his friend. Here, you get to see how jealous Raj becomes, enacted beautifully by Hrithik. Afraid that Raj would carry out his threat of leaving Tina, Pooja agrees to marry Rohan. The story ends with Tina finding out about how much her two friends have sacrificed their love for her happiness, and with Pooja and Raj’s marriage. All remain friends in the end.

Ever since I saw this movie, I wanted to see Hrithik in a negative role – something like a serial killer or such. He did do Dhoom2, but he was not really BAD. He’s capable of doing such roles. I’m sure he’ll be very convincing.
