Mohabbatein
Mohabbatein (transl. Love Stories) is a 2000 Indian Hindi-
language romantic drama film that was written and directed by Mohabbatein
Aditya Chopra and produced by Yash Chopra of Yash Raj Films.
The film stars Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, and
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, and newcomers Uday Chopra, Shamita
Shetty, Jugal Hansraj, Kim Sharma, Jimmy Sheirgill, and Preeti
Jhangiani. It narrates the story of Narayan, the strict principal of
Gurukul college whose daughter Megha, commits suicide after he
opposes her relationship with Raj, a music teacher at the college.
The story follows Raj aiding with three Gurukul students and their
love interests to rebel against Narayan's intolerance of love.

The film was originally planned to be Aditya Chopra's directorial

debut, but it was his second film after Dilwale Dulhania Le
Jayenge (1995). Its themes were inspired by those from the 1989
American coming-of-age drama Dead Poets Society. Produced on
a budget of more than ₹100 million (US$1.3  million), the
principal photography of Mohabbatein, which was filmed in the
United Kingdom, was handled by Manmohan Singh between Theatrical release poster

Country India
Narayan has been the strict principal of Gurukul, a prestigious all-
boys college, for 25 years. Narayan believes in bringing the best Language Hindi
out of his students by emphasizing honour, tradition, and Budget ₹130 million[2]
discipline. He disdains fun and is particularly intolerant of
Box office ₹900.1 million[3]
romance and threatens to expel any student who is caught having
a romantic affair. Despite these rules, three Gurukul students—
Sameer, Vicky, and Karan—fall in love. Sameer falls for Sanjana, his childhood friend; Vicky is
attracted to Ishika, a student at the neighbouring all-girls college; and Karan is infatuated with Kiran,
a young widow whom Karan sees alone one night in a train station.

Narayan hires Raj as Gurukul's new music teacher. Raj believes in the power of love and decides to
spread love throughout Gurukul. He sympathizes with the predicaments of Sameer, Vicky, and Karan,
and encourages them to persist and stay loyal to their loves. Raj tells the three students he had a
special love himself and that although she is dead, he imagines she accompanies him every day. One
day, as part of his plan, Raj throws a party, to which he invites the students of the all-girls college.
Narayan discovers the party and threatens to dismiss Raj. At this point, Raj reveals he had been a
student at Gurukul over a decade earlier and that he had fallen in love with Megha, Narayan's only
daughter. Narayan had summarily expelled Raj from the college and the distraught Megha had
committed suicide. Raj returns to Gurukul to honour Megha's memory by reversing the college's zero-
tolerance policy on romance; he promises he will fill the school with love and that Narayan will be
unable to stop it. Narayan is shocked; he takes this as a challenge and allows Raj to remain.

Sameer, Vicky, and Karan are able to win over Sanjana, Ishika, and Kiran, respectively, but Narayan
retaliates by tightening the college's rules. The student body, however, encouraged by Raj, continues to
defy the rules and in a final effort to preserve the school atmosphere he has built up for 25 years,
Narayan expels the three students. Raj speaks up on their behalf, stating they did nothing wrong by
falling in love and accusing Narayan of causing his own daughter's death with his intolerance of love.
Raj also says he feels Narayan lost the challenge because his daughter left him and now Raj, who

1/23/23, 1:48 PM Mohabbatein - Wikipedia

considered Narayan an elder, is leaving him as well. Raj's words hurt Narayan, who realizes his strict
no-romance policy is misguided. Narayan apologizes to the student body, resigns as principal of
Gurukul, and nominates Raj as his successor. Raj accepts and reconciles with Narayan.

drama Dead Poets Society.[10]

Chopra then narrated Mohabbatein to  —Aditya Chopra on the
his father Yash Chopra, who was impressed by it; the latter also film's casting[6]
produced the film under his banner Yash Raj Films. In a Screen
interview, Yash Chopra described it as "a modern film, a film about
today and it has all the ingredients of entertainment for people of all
ages".[6] He said the film shows the honour of Indian traditions and their values, adding, "On the
whole Aditya has made an honest film, honest to God and honest to the audience who has given us so
much".[6] The project was announced in June 1999 on Yash Raj Films' website.[11]

Aditya Chopra told his father he would cast Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, and Aishwarya Rai
Bachchan in the lead roles, saying he could not think of other suitable actors; the three immediately
accepted.[6] Mohabbatein is Khan's second collaboration with Rai after Josh (2000), and the first with
Bachchan.[12][13] Kajol was the first choice for the role of Megha, but she declined it because of her
marriage.[14] Bachchan, playing Narayan, felt the part was his best role after Deewaar (1975), and said
he only accepted the part because of "the fantastic script" by Aditya Chopra, whom he called "the little
boy".[6] To complete the casting, Chopra sought six new actors; three male and three female. Aditya's
brother Uday Chopra wanted to make his acting debut in the film; Aditya Chopra and his assistants
travelled across India to find the other five newcomers; he cast Shamita Shetty, Jugal Hansraj, Kim
Sharma, Jimmy Sheirgill, and Preeti Jhangiani. A gymnasium was built specifically for their training
before filming began.[6] Amrish Puri, Shefali Shah, and Helen made special appearances.[4] Aditya
Chopra also wrote the film's dialogue.[15]

The principal photography of Mohabbatein was handled by Manmohan Singh and commenced on 25
October 1999, taking place in the United Kingdom.[16][17] Karan Johar designed the costumes for
Bachchan and Khan while Manish Malhotra designed them for Rai.[6] Farah Khan was the
choreographer.[15] Sharmishta Roy, a frequent collaborator with Yash Raj Films, served as the art
director.[4] When asked by Shilpa Bharatan-Iyer of Rediff.com, Roy described the film as a "learning
experience"; she used many stones for Narayan's office sets and went to Lohar Chawl to buy several
additional properties. Roy said she had a good rapport with Aditya Chopra and that the film's
production gave her many challenges; "Look, every day, I put up houses. The challenge is in
"individualising", in "personalising" each house to suit the script and the characters in the
narrative."[18] Roy designed 13 or 14 sets for the film.[18] Filming ended between August and
September 2000;[19] it was edited by V. Karnik, and Anuj Mathur and Kunal Mehta were the film's
sound designers.[4][15]

Critical response to the soundtrack of Mohabbatein was
mixed.[24] According to Screen, "Jatin-Lalit's music, though not
chartbuster stuff, is melodious and situational. It grows on you as you watch the film."[25] Ratna Malay
of Bollywood Hungama called it "a typical Yash Chopra kind with a mixture" of Dil To Pagal Hai.[26]
Writing for Planet Bollywood, Avinash Ramchandani described it as "an outstanding album with
several new singers making a splendid debut, as well as a commendable job by Jatin-Lalit, and
brilliant lyrics by Anand Bakshi"[27] but Hindustan Times called it "[absolutely] dud".[28] According to
the film-trade website Box Office India, the soundtrack album sold five million copies and became the
highest-selling Bollywood soundtrack of the year.[29] Jatin–Lalit received a nomination for the Best
Music Director at the 46th Filmfare Awards,[30] and were also nominated in the same category at the
Bollywood Movie Awards and Screen Awards.[31][32]

Release
Mohabbatein was one of the most anticipated films of the year and the audience's expectations were
high.[33] On 8 October 2000, a special screening for the film in Film City was organized with Aditya
Chopra, Bachchan and his son Abhishek Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan and his wife Gauri Khan, and
Johar in attendance.[34] The film was released theatrically on 27 October during the Diwali

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohabbatein 5/10
1/23/23, 1:48 PM Mohabbatein - Wikipedia

celebrations; its release clashed with those of Vidhu Vinod Chopra's thriller Mission Kashmir and K. S.
Ravikumar's comedy-drama Thenali.[33] Due to its lengthy running time, theatres screened three
shows daily rather than four.[1]

Mohabbatein was opened on 315 screens across India and grossed ₹11.9 million (US$150,000) on the
first day. The film collected ₹706.2 million (US$8.8 million) in India and $4.2 million overseas.[3] Box
Office India estimated the film's total gross to be ₹900.1 million (US$11  million), making it the
highest-grossing Indian film of the year.[3][35] It ran at theatres for over 175 days, becoming a silver
jubilee film.[36][a] Mohabbatein was released on DVD in a double-disc pack on 20 November in all
regions. The broadcast rights of the movie were acquired to Sony Network. It has been available for
streaming on Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV+ since 18 November 2016.[39]

Critical reception
Mohabbatein received widespread critical acclaim upon release, with Bachchan and Khan's
performances garnering the highest praise.[1] Savera R. Someshwar of Rediff.com commented the film
"is a mish-mash alright. But it is also a successful, feelgood film." She described both actors as "the two
pillars on which this film is built and each time they come face-to-face, there is this expectant
hush."[40] Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama rated the film 4 stars out of 5, praising Aditya
Chopra for handling the confrontation sequences between the two "with aplomb". He added the
director "is at his best", saying, "Not once do you feel that the writer in Chopra has tilted on any one
side".[41] Vinayak Chakravorty concluded, "Clearly, Aditya Chopra faces a downhill task this time
around. Shorn of a solid script, bereft of impressive treatment and lacking any directorial credibility to
hold his [...] mega dream [...] Mohabbatein is a veritable lesson to any budding filmmaker on how not
to make a film".[28] Zee Next's Vinaya Hagde gave a scathing review of the film, calling it "dumb", and
saying Kher and Singh were "totally wasted".[42]

Reviewing Mohabbatein for The Hindu, Savitha Padmanabhan criticized the film's duration and the
way the confrontation sequences between Bachchan and Khan "are always interrupted by the love
stories of the teenyboppers"[43] but Filmfare's anonymous reviewer appreciated them for "[excelling]
in their respective roles". Nikhat Kazmi called the film the "inglorious uncertainties of cinema" and
Khalid Mohamed wrote, "Back in the romantic mode, Aditya Chopra's Mohabbatein is indeed like a
rich, multi-layered, vibgyor cake. But frankly, only a few slices tickle the taste-buds."[24] Suman
Tarafdar from Filmfare said most of the cast members "look so unconvinced about their roles and
perform accordingly".[15] Screen said Aditya Chopra's "untiring efforts are visible in every frame and
his mastery over screenplay is evident throughout the first half".[25] Comparing the film with Dilwale

1/23/23, 1:48 PM Mohabbatein - Wikipedia

Dulhania Le Jayenge in his review for India Today, Dinesh Raheja said Mohabbatein "has too many
diverse strands and in a bid to avoid getting knotted up in them", and considered the story is
"disappointingly pat and oversimplified".[44]
