Director Raj Kanwar explores the possibility that some marriages are better made in heaven than arranged on Earth with this romance detailing the warm bond shared between a good-natured automotive engineer sent to Canada for training, and a lonely woman set to be married to a wealthy but emotionally distant business tycoon. After a chance meeting in an elevator finds engaged engineer Aditya (Akshay Kumar) suddenly smitten with shy and spoken-for Jia (Katrina Kaif), a series of repeated encounters throughout the city soon lead Adi to believe that perhaps destiny has played no small role in bringing the pair together. A simple girl from a prosperous family, Jia longs for the friendship and affection not afforded to her in either her family relationships or her relationship with her tightly-wound husband-to-be. As the pair grows ever closer and Jia's appreciation for Adi's gentle humor, thoughtful nature, and accepting sister and brother-in-law grows, her definition of "family" begins to take on an entirely new perspective. Now faced with the prospect of parting ways to continue with their well-planned lives or throwing caution to the wind in the name of true love, Adi and Jia must reconcile tradition with emotion to discover what joys and heartaches life truly has in store for them. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

In the tradition of the modern Indian cinema, Prem Pratigyaa runs close to three hours. The domestic audience for which it was aimed never complained, but American viewers might be desirous of a "cut to the chase" after an hour or so. Mithun Chakroboty stars as an unregenerate alcoholic. With no real reason to live, he opts for slow death via liquor. His life completely turns around after he falls in love with Madhuri Dixit. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Released after censorship restrictions were lifted by a more liberal Indian government, Amar Akbar Anthony indulged audiences in a story with loose morals and visual excitement. The Chinese box of a narrative is essentially a comedy of errors concerning three brothers, Amar, Akbar, and Anthony. Abandoned in a park by their father, the three are raised separately and without knowledge of each other. By coincidence they all find themselves giving blood to a woman in a hospital and events stemming from this encounter bring them together. All three meet women who they fall in love with, but when their father, who unbeknownst to them has become a successful smuggler, kidnaps one of the women, all three become implicated in the struggle for her release. At the end of the film, the identities of the three are revealed, the police reveal that the smuggler is their father, and they manage to defeat a variety of criminal elements. The film closes with the brothers reunited, driving off into the sunset with their women.
