Plot

Three young men arrive at a train station during a night, they are all joining a famous and prestigious private school in India, 'Gurukul', they strike an instant friendship.


Gurukul is run by a stern headmaster named Narayan Shankar, played by Amitabh Bachchan. He is very strict disciplinarian who believes his institute runs because of his principles, rules and disciplines. Apparently the students are picked from universities all over the country to study further in Gurukul and the headmaster had high expectations of them. The headmaster has instituted a strict anti-romance policy. Students are there to learn, he says, not to party and flirt. Students who become romantically involved will be expelled.

The three of them all have their hearts set on different girls. Sameer (Jugal Hansraj) works in a cafe and is in love with his childhood friend Sanjana (Kim Sharma). Unfortunately for Sameer, she has a boyfriend. Vikram (Uday Chopra) accidentally bumps into Ishika (Shamita Shetty) when he catches her stealing apples from the Gurukul gardens, and falls in love at first sight. Karan (Jimmy Shergill) sees Kiran (Preeti Jhangiani) on a hill when he is waiting for a train. Kiran is married to an Army Officer who never returned from war, yet she holds hope that he is alive. Jugal Hansraj (Born 26 July 1972) is an Indian actor. ... Kim Sharma Kim Sharma (born 21 January 1980) is an Indian actress. ... Uday Chopra Uday Chopra (born 5 January 1973) is an Indian Actor. ...

Preeti Jhangiani Preeti Jhangiani (born 18 August 1980) is an Indian actress and model. ...


But they all give up hope of taking their romance to the next level, for the fear of Narayan Shankar and his stern ways. They do not want to get expelled.


Enters Raj Aryan (Shahrukh Khan), with flowers and violin in his hand, who wants to join Gurukul as a music teacher, after some reluctance, Narayan Shankar allows Raj to join the institute. Raj Aryan teaches music, spreads the message of love amongst the 3 men, and encourages them to follow their hearts and fall in love. Shahrukh Khan (Hindi: शाहरुख़ ख़ान, Urdu: شاہ رخ خان), born 2 November 1965, is a highly acclaimed Indian actor who works in Bollywood films, as well as film producer and television host. ...


Raj Aryan tells the 3 students that he once loved a woman but she died an untimely death, but he continues to love her. We also get a glimse of the girl Megha played by Aishwarya Rai, who in Raj's imagination still comes alive and speaks to him when he is alone. Aishwarya Rai (Kannada: ಐಶ್ವರ್ಯಾ ರೈ, IPA: ; born November 1, 1973) is an Indian actress. ...


The three boys fall in love and the relationship between the headmaster and the music teacher begins to become strained. Much to the chagrin of the headmaster, Raj begins to implement many changes. Hosting parties, inviting girls from the nearby girls hostel, celebrating festivals and encouraging students to break the strict rules.


Kake played by (Anupam Kher) runs a cafe in the city and is seen trying to impress the local garment shop owner Preeto played by (Archana Puransingh) throughout the movie, providing some light moments. General Khanna (Amrish Puri), Aayush (Parvez Dastur) and Bhabhi (Shefali Chhaya) also co-star, playing Kiran's family. Helen appears in a guest role, as Miss Monica - the girls hostel's head mistress. Anupam Kher (Hindi: अनुपम खेर), born March 7, 1955, is an actor in Hindi films in India. ... Amrish Lal Puri (Hindi: अमरीश पुरी, Urdu: اَمریش پُری, June 22, 1932 – January 12, 2005) was an Indian actor who appeared primarily in Bollywood movies. ... Helen Helen (born October 21, 1939) was a Bollywood dancer and actress best known for playing vamps and vixens in Bollywood movies of the 1960s and 70s. ...


In the second part of the film it is revealed the Raj was once also a student in Gurukul, and the girl he fell in love with was none other than the headmasters daughter, Megha. When Narayan found out he banned them from seeing each other, expelled the boy without seeing him, and distanced himself from his daughter. She became upset and ultimately committed suicide by throwing herself out the window.


This tragic experience inspired Raj to spread love throughout Gurukul, and one day reach out to Narayan Shankar and show him to magic of love and affection.


When Narayan Shankar realises that Raj is the same boy who was in love with his daughter, he pulls all stops to remove him from the institute and destroy his plans. Raj continues to help the 3 boys and their lovers to meet against school rules and the story turns into war between Raj Aryan and Narayan Shankar.


After many events and songs, eventually, Narayan Shankar realises that love and change are indeed important parts of life and softens.


Gurukul is transformed forever into a singing, dancing and loving school. .

Mohabbatein: a review (1442 words)
To say that Mohabbatein has been the most eagerly awaited film of the year is an understatement.
Aditya Chopra said he has had the idea of Mohabbatein for more than 10 years and originally wanted it to be his debut film instead of DDLJ.
The costumes by Manish Malhotra and Karan Johar are smart and hip, the cinematography by Manmohan Singh is efficient though the camera moves a bit too often throughout the film, the choreography by Farah Khan, energetic and the art direction by Sharmista Roy particularly in the interiors stands out.
Mohabbatein (857 words)
He launched his film Mohabbatein last year and today, as the audiences have their appetites whetted, watching the promos of the film on TV, Adi is giving finishing touches to his film that is due for release in Diwali.
Mohabbatein has all the ingredients peculiar to Yash Raj films that also the audience seems to like forever, but the one ingredient that dwarfs everything else in this three and a half hour Diwali treat is Amitabh Bachchan.
Mohabbatein is unusual in a way that the principal protagonists do not have current love lives.
