Synopsis
Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai is a Hindi musical romance written, directed and produced by Rakesh Roshan. It is best remembered as the film that introduced Hrithik Roshan and Ameesha Patel as leads, and for a soundtrack composed by Rajesh Roshan.
Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai 2000: the debut that launched two careers
Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai 2000 is a Hindi film written, directed and produced by Rakesh Roshan, with music by Rajesh Roshan. It marked the acting debuts of Hrithik Roshan and Ameesha Patel, with Anupam Kher and Dalip Tahil in supporting roles.
Most summaries describe it as a romance and we know it was built around its songs, which is why it sits in the musical category here. Beyond that broad description we are deliberately not outlining the plot, since the story takes turns that first-time viewers are better off meeting fresh.
For anyone interested in Hindi cinema around the turn of the millennium, this is one of the films that defines the period's star-launch template, and it is worth watching for that context alone.
Release date, runtime and where to watch
Most sources give 14 January 2000 as the release date, though ZEE5 shows 13 January, which looks like an outlier. The film was distributed by Yash Raj Films in India, with Eros International handling overseas.
Runtime figures conflict: Wikipedia lists 177 minutes, while other listings show about 172 or 154, so we are not committing to a single number. ZEE5 has a page for the film, but streaming catalogues change; check the app in your region before relying on it.
Online reports describe it as a hit on release, but we have not verified box-office figures independently and do not quote them. We have not watched the film for this page; it is a guide, not a review.
Who it is for
This is a film for nostalgia and for film history. If you grew up with its songs, or want to see the starting point of two careers, it makes sense as a revisit. Newer viewers should expect the storytelling pace, styling and melodrama of Hindi cinema from around the year 2000, which can feel different from today's films.
It can suit a family evening, though we cannot comment on specific scenes or sensitivities without watching.
If you are watching it for the music, note that Rajesh Roshan is credited as composer, so searching his name alongside the film is the quickest way to find the soundtrack. And because older Hindi films circulate in many versions, the runtime listed in the app you use may differ slightly from the figures above; that is normal and does not necessarily mean a different film.
