Kaho Na... Pyaar Hai (and War & Peace)

Kaho Na... Pyaar Hai (2000) Directed by Rakesh Roshan, Written By Rakesh Roshan, Saghar Sarhadi, Honey Irani, Ravi Kapoor

This film was the one I chose when Akshay Kumar film I decided to watch didn't play on my dvd player. Indian films have that tendency even when they are legal (I'm against piracy). So I took a chance on this one and while it was not a good film in any way, it entertained me with its total unintentional silliness.
The lovers Rohit (Hrithik Roshan) and Sonia (Amisha Patel) meet cute and after being stranded on a deserted island they fall in love. But Rohit is a struggling musician and Sonia is the daughter of a rich businessman. Rohit is not the kind to ask for his father in law to be for help though, and he reaches an agreement with the father (Anupam Kher) that if he makes something of himself on his own, then he will let Sonia marry her. Evil dad agrees but he is also a drug lord in cahoots with two rotten police officers and when his henchman met the new Commissioner the three of them kill him with Rohit witnessing the whole thing. Poor Rohit dies trying to get away from them. Sonia is devasted and evil dad sends her to New Zealand to stay with her uncle. There she meets Raj who is like a clone of Rohit (understandibly since he is also acted by Hrithik Roshan)...

This film is good for entertainment but low on quality, Hrithik suprised me in his decent portrayal of Rohit though.

War and Peace continues to be exciting. Poor Denisov's appeal is rejected and now Napoleon became a friend of Russian Empire. Boris continues to be on the rise. Poor Rostov is sad because he couldn't help Denisov.

And Prince Andrey finally decided to rejoin the land of the living and do good for the humanity. He saw Natasha at Rostovs' country house and her vivacity and love for life affected him. Tsar doesn't like him very much but he befriended his most trusted advisor.

Pierre on the other hand is not happy with his mason brothers. He observes that they are only after the show of the whole secret order thing and don't really care for the principles. He went abroad to meet with the other masons and just returned to Petersburg to share his recent knowledge with the Russian masons.
