: Kaun (1999):

English Translation: Who is it?

Starring: Urmila Matondkar, Manoj Bajpai
Director: Ram Gopal Verma
Music Director: Sandeep Chowta
Genre: Thriller/Mystery

Also Known As:
Evaru (India: Telugu title) (dubbed version)

The story is very simple: one afternoon a young woman (who just happens to be beautiful) is alone in her luxurious home. She learns from the TV news that a killer is on the loose and becomes nervous at being alone in the house. A heavy storm begins and a man turns up on her doorstep asking for shelter until the rain stops. Being far wiser than the average Hollywood heroine, she politely refuses to let the stranger in as long as she can. When she does let him in, his odd and threatening behaviour convinces her he is the murderer... until another odd and threatening man also turns up.

Cash-strapped villager Shyam (Sunil Shetty) arrives in Mumbai seeking a job at the same bank that employed his now-deceased father.

With the position in dispute, Shyam finds lodging at a garage operated by the sympathetic and debt-ridden Babu Rao (Paresh Rawal), whose other tenant hasn't paid his rent in two years. That tenant turns out to be Raju (Akshay Kumar), who was involved in a heated misunderstanding with Shyam earlier in the day. The pair continue their bitter rivalry until Shyam realizes that Raju is in the same quandary that he is -- both are decent fellows who have no money to fulfill their dreams and obligations.

Director: Aziz Mirza
Genre: Musical/ Action/ Drama
Music Director: Jatin-Lalit

Two friends, Arjun Singh (Amitabh Bachchan) and Pyare Mohan (Govinda) are in the police force. Life is pretty hunkydory, especially when Arjun's sister, Seema (Raveena) is also in love with Pyare. In between cavorting and singing, they chase a few crooks. Until that is their doubles land up on the scene - then it becomes kind of difficult to decipher who is chasing who and why. We also have some cavorting thrown in, this time between Arjun and Neha (Ramya Krishnan). She also happens to be chased by the villian as she was an eye witness to a murder.

Then the Kohinoor diamond turns up and another bout of chasing starts.Of Amitabh's using this movie to chase the No.1 crown that ran away from him, he's nowhere the finishing line.

 
: Pyaar Kiya to Darna Kya (1998) :

English Translation: If you love, what is there to fear?

Starring: Salman Khan, Kajol, Sohail Khan
Director: Sohail Khan
Music by: Jatin-Lalit
Genre: Romatinc Comedy

This is a movie about family, love, schemers, and an urban-rural, rich-poor conflict. Muskaan, played by Kajol, is a village girl with an overprotective brother played by Arbaaz Khan (Salman Khan's brother). Arbaaz Khan is very protective of his sister, and beats up any suitor he does not like. So, soon suitors stop coming. This is a problem for Muskaan's village friend, who is very much in love with Arbaaz as he will not marry until Muskaan is married. In a particularly cute scene Muskaan asks her Bhaiyya to let her go to college as her Rakshabandhan gift. In college, naturally, she falls in love with Salman Khan. Khan's family life is precisely opposite to Muskaan's. She is showered with love at home, a Chacha (played by Dharmedar) who loves her and a Bhaiya who fights for her, and he has a wicked stepmother and a father who will not stand up for him. They fall in love. The problem, how to convince Bhaiya. And what happens if Khan's parents disapprove of him marrying a village girl? That is the plot of this sweet family film.
