She is very easy on the eyes - but of course! This is of course Hrithik's movie - the one that shot him into the the pre-adolescent hearts of every girl in the country, and their mothers too! He's under the spotlight 24/7 and a role model to many adolescent boys. Amisha Patel isn't given a lot to do here and thankfully does it well. ( No, I won't call 'Believe in Love' a moral) Director Rakesh Roshan manages to showcase all of his son's talents in this film: body build, dancing moves, a range of emotions and a knack for acting - something most actors in the industry today, lack.

Love stories don't always need a moral - we just want to have a good time. The film is a bit of a thriller but mainly an entertainer, and I'm happy it does it's job here. A fast pace and 2 plot twists keep the movie highly entertaining and above average fare. But there is something familiar about the yuppie rich kid Raj, whom she meets at a dance club - an excellent scene made only more powerful by Lucky Ali's music track. On vacation in New Zealand, an emotionally upset Sonia laments over the loss of her boyfriend Rohit rich girl, poor boy scenario. The plot is simple and nothing we haven't seen before folks. Kuch Kuch Hota Hai is leagues better and it would be criminal to compare this film to DDLJ (ah.the shudder of perfection). It was a case of a great looking guy who entertained people - good promotional advertising on the producers part and partly due to the dismal performance of the Khans' films that Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai did that well. And in a nation of 1 billion people - that is a HUGE phenomenon. Only 1 Superhit so far, way back in January! The year will be remembered of course for the debut of an actor named Hrithik Roshan who was a nationwide phenomenon in India. The new year 2000 is almost over and looking back at the year on the Hindi film industry - it hasn't been hot at all.
