[Hindi] Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998)


Kuch Kuch Hota Hai

Rahul Khanna loses his wife, Tina after she gives birth to their daughter, Anjali Khanna. He raises Anjali as a single father, with the help of his mother. Anjali grows up treasuring the letters her mother wrote before she died for her to receive on her first eight birthdays. On her 8th birthday, Anjali reads the last and most important letter that her mother left her; it tells the story of Rahul, Tina, and Anjali Sharma. 

The film then flashes back to St. Xavier's College, where Rahul is best friends with tomboy Anjali Sharma. Tina, the rich and attractive daughter of college principal Mr. Malhotra, arrives at St. Xavier's and becomes friends with Rahul and Anjali. Rahul constantly flirts with Tina, trying to win her over. Later, they fall in love. After Rahul states that "love is friendship," Anjali slowly starts to realize that she is in love with Rahul. However, when she decides to confess her feelings, Rahul instead reveals that he is in love with Tina. Devastated, Anjali decides to leave college and shares a tearful goodbye with Rahul. 

Back in the present, Tina explains in her letter that she realized she might've stopped Rahul and Anjali Sharma from falling in love. Now that Rahul is alone, Tina asks her daughter to reunite Rahul and Anjali and bring back Rahul's lost love and friend to him. Anjali enlists both her grandparents' help to try to fulfill this task. 

 Anjali Sharma, in the present, has become a beautiful woman and is now engaged to Aman Mehra, but the loss of Rahul remains with her. Determined to reunite her father and his best friend, Anjali Khanna and her grandmother head to a summer camp in Shimla, against Rahul's wishes, where Anjali Sharma is a student counsellor. Anjali Khanna meets Anjali Sharma, and the two become friends. Rahul is tricked by his daughter into coming to the camp, where he reunites with Anjali Sharma. Spending time together, Rahul and Anjali fall in love with each other. When Aman arrives at the camp, and Rahul learns he is Anjali's fiancĂ©, Rahul is heartbroken, but congratulates Anjali. Anjali takes this as Rahul rejecting her again, so she leaves the summer camp and decides to marry Aman as soon as possible. 

 Rahul and his family go to Anjali's wedding, where Rahul silently confesses his love to Anjali and watches in tears as she is brought forth for the wedding. Knowing of Rahul's feelings, Anjali is hesitant to go through with the marriage, and sobs on her way to the stage. Aman realizes that she has always been in love with Rahul, and he releases Anjali from their engagement. Rahul and Anjali share an emotional reunion and get married. The film ends with Anjali Khanna seeing her mother Tina's soul praising her by giving her a thumbs up.
