Har Dil Jo Pyaar Karega (2000)

“Every heart that loves.” The title refers to the trials that everyone who loves must endure. They are helpfully enumerated in the title song, but of course the movie is really about the trials that occur when people are stuck in ridiculous situations and are often very stupid about it.




This is one of those movies that, objectively, is not that good. I love it anyway. It’s entirely early-2000s cheese, served up with my favorite actors and catchy music. We begin with the introduction of our hero, Raju (Salman Khan) in a song featuring him in skimpier tops and shorter hemlines than the female backup dancers.


It's glorious.
