GamerTab That was an excellent one.

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

josephrahul Kajol is the only face in this movie... Thought the movie is highly predictable and even contains some loose plots. But the charm of Kajol amused us. Yes there are some funny slap scenes in the starting where Kajol slaps Shekhar on the plane. Yet she entertains. Her comic appearance in most of the scenes is incredible. Though the original one differs, as in the original one Megh Ryan leaves her boy friend in a friendly manner. But in the Hindi version Kajol in great fury gives thunderous tight slaps to her ex when she gets him back from an another girl of his. Later on she unites with her real life lover. Great movie and Kajol rocks in everyone scene because it's the only movie where she dominates over the lovers.

Chrysanthepop 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.

Liakot Ali 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.

Ace_of_Hearts ***SPOILERS*** ***SPOILERS*** If you can remember in 'French Kiss' *POSSIBLE SPOILER* Meg Ryan got dumped by her boyfriend, flew to France in the process meeting the Frenchman Kevin Kline who fell in love with her and tried to help her win her boyfriend back. But when she finally got him back, she realised she loved Kevin and they lived happily ever after, or at least until the credits started rolling. Well, Kajol is Meg Ryan and Ajay Devgan is Kevin Kline. He even has the stupid moustache to match. The film is endearing. It's funny, romantic and entertaining. The lead characters even have chemistry (they got married later that year in real life). And Kajol, well Kajol is Kajol. She's cute, loveable and a total klutz, which only makes you love her more. And let's not forget a wonderful guest roll of Om Puri, the channa eating cop trying to arrest Shekhar (Ajay Devgan).Naturally as all Bollywood films, this one also had some unlikelihoods. *POSSIBLE SPOILER* The one that just jumps out at you is the chase scene where Ajay has stolen a car and is being followed by Om Puri. Om manages to blow all four tires of Ajay's cars with only four shots (if only Hollywood would learn from this and have their characters save some bullets, take e.g. Bad Boys II). Then Ajay manages to get his car to drive on the train tracks (didn't quite realise that cars and trains have the same width) and manages to jump on the train as it sends his car flying in the air. All this without even getting a bump. A little blood might have made it look a little bit more real, but then again if you're that far removed from reality, why bother.Nonetheless, it was a nice movie. Kajol is big reason for that.***/5 stars
