So he follows her to Mumbai and helps her find Rohit’s killers, one of whom happens to be her daddy dearest, Mr Saxena (Anupam Kher is a pro at urbane menace).
Conveniently, he’s a billionaire’s son in New Zealand with nothing to do but impress her. Heartbroken Sonia gets a second chance at love when Rohit’s doppelganger Raj falls hard for her. Rich and spoilt girl Sonia’s first love Rohit, a poor but dishy musician, inadvertently stumbles upon a drug cartel and is killed. The film is racy, slick and smartly turns a love story into a revenge thriller with a twist. To be fair, KNPH is still watchable even though the cellphone ploy in the climax, which evoked gasps back then, would make a kid of 2020 smile. The underworld targeted Rakesh Roshan and the film joined the league of legends known by their acronyms. Pyaar Hai soon got the ultimate stamp of success of the times - actually, two. The songs (Rajesh Roshan) were a rage, despite charges of plagiarism (remember the Vangelis row).
