Sanjana loves Rahul, but Rahul treats Sanjana as a friend. He is attracted to Nisha, and announces that he will be marrying her soon. Sanjana does not take kindly to this, and in her heart hopes to make Rahul change his mind. She hires Shekhar to be her lover/boyfriend, and go out with her, so as to make Rahul jealous. This does not work, Rahul is drawn even closer to Nisha, and Shekhar finds himself falling in love with Sanjana. Sanjana finds herself getting attracted to Shekhar, only to find out that the police, especially Inspector Khan, would like to arrest Shekhar for criminal activities

If you Are Looking For Romantic Comedy YOu Must Watch This Movie.It Shows what true love is with Fun.
Anees Bazmee is one of Bollywood's terrible directors. Unfortunately, his even remotely watchable movies are ripoffs. Such is the case with 'Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha' which pretty much replicates every single frame of the delightful romantic comedy 'French Kiss'. It's funny how Bazmee managed to make the Indian and Swiss landscape look like the ones in 'French Kiss's France. The Bollywoodish additions, such as the hostage sequence, the comedy and the dragged out ending are dreadfully cheesy and give the movie a B-grade quality. Jatin Lalit's music is pleasant to the ears. Most of the songs are visualized well but some of the tunes are ripped off from American songs. The sad version of the title song is snooze inducing. The title song during the opening credits and the two Asha Bhosle-Udit Narayan tracks are the best of the lot.Where performances are concerned, Ajay Devgan does a decent job. Kajol is superb in most of the movie. One particular scene that stood out to me was when, at Nisha's party, a tipsy Sanjana expresses her defeat to Shekhar with a sad smile and her eyes filling up with tears. She does tend to go a bit over the top with the quirkiness and comedy (unlike Meg Ryan who does it more naturally). Om Puri lacks the slickness that Jean Reno brought to the character. Kashmira Shah is wonderful. The execution is quite amateurish as Bazmee merely copies Lawrence Kasdan's film. The editing is quite abysmal and what the hell was Bazmee thinking in including the atrocious action sequences? The cinematography in the song sequences is adequate.That's about it. 'Pyaar To Hona Hi Tha' is just another lousy ripoff on a tall pile of Bollywood's unauthorized miserable remakes.
Slightly borrowed from Hollywood Movie French Kiss. Pyar to Hona Hi Tha is a amazingly entertaining movie. I can be honest and say that No Bollywood actress has made me laugh apart from Hema Malini in Seeta Aur Geeta / Satte pe Satte. I love watching Bollywood Comedy, but its always the boys that have all the jokes like Kader khan, Shakti Kapoor, Anupom Kher or Paresh Rawail etc. After watching this movie, i realised i was wrong to judge that. Kajol provides a Brilliantly Comedy performance. She proves why she is Bollywoods classic actress. Kajol is amazing in almost every scene. Ajay Devgan is pretty good, but it was Kajol who provided most of the entertainment in this film. The music in this film is fantastic. Ajnabee Mujko Itna Bata is the best song of the film. I remember watching the awards for that year. Kajol was nominated three times in the Best actress nomination, including for this film. She obviously won Best Actress on 1998 for another great performance in Kuch kuch hota hai. Overall this movie was funny and entertaining.
Here's a million Dollar Question :"When is Bollywood going to stop doing bad remakes of Hollywood movies?" Nobody has an answer to that I guess.What makes matters worse is that in Bollywood, Filmmakers take their time (&liberty!) to remake Hollywood hits (i.e after more than 3 years of the release of the later).Exaggerated emotions, cheap & unreal ending with lots of accidents & the hero trying to stop an airplane from taking off for the sake of love!!! Give us a break & make original Indian themes.
