Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai (Say This Is Love in English) (2000) is an Indian (Bollywood) blockbuster movie directed by Rakesh Roshan. It focuses on the strange coincidence of two strangers looking physically alike. One of them is shot dead owing to conspiracy hatched by corrupt police in India and the other flies in to India from New Zealand to help find his killers.
The movie stars Hrithik Roshan in a dual role, and Amisha Patel and Anupam Kher. This movie was Hrithik Roshan's debut and the movie which made him an instant star in Bollywood. Not only did this movie launch Hrithik's career, but it also launched the careers of the actress Amisha Patel and the singer Lucky Ali.

[edit] Synopsis
Rohit (Hrithik Roshan) is an aspiring singer who meets Sonia Saxena (Amisha Patel). They end up going on a cruise together and eventually get stranded on a deserted island. They eventually fall in love but her father (Anupam Kher) is bitterly opposed to their relationship. Unfortunately for Rohit he is killed by two corrupt policemen. Sonia goes into depression so her father sends her to New Zealand to her cousin.
When she reaches there she sees someone who looks like Rohit, but is known as Raj (also Hrithik Roshan). Sonia and Raj soon meet and he has fallen in love with her. But she doesn't return his love back, because seeing Raj's face reminds her of Rohit and it is torture for her to see the face of her true love when he doesn't exist any more, and never will again. They go to India together but as soon as they leave the airport, Raj is shot. Soon, the two begin to question whether Rohit's death was an accident or a murder. They figure out Rohit was murdered. So, Raj and Sonia's friends make-up a plan to find Rohit's killers. But the plan backfires and the murderers kidnap Sonia. Raj comes to the rescue and saves her. Then and there, he figures out who Rohit's killers are and surprisingly one of their accomplices is Sonia's father. Eventually, all ends well with the bad guys gone to jail, Raj and Sonia getting married(Sonia finally falls in love with Raj), and Rohit's soul finally resting in peace, but is never forgotten.
