== Plot ==
Rohit, an aspiring singer working at a car showroom, struggles to support himself and his younger brother Amit after losing their parents. They live with an elderly Christian couple, Lily and Anthony. Through his job, Rohit meets Sonia, the daughter of wealthy businessman Saxena—who is connected to his boss, Shakti Malik—and the two quickly develop feelings for each other.

On a cruise arranged by Atul, Shakti’s son and Sonia’s best friend, tensions flare when Sonia becomes jealous of the attention Rohit receives from other women. To provoke him, she flirts with Atul, sparking a drunken argument that ends with both falling into a lifeboat. The vessel drifts to a deserted island, where repeated quarrels expose their clashing personalities. During one such argument, Sonia slips on a rock and falls into the ocean, deceiving Rohit into believing she cannot swim. Despite his own inability, Rohit risks his life to rescue her, and begins to drown himself, in which Sonia, in turn, saves him and in that moment, their deep love is realized as they spend several days together on the island.

They are eventually rescued by Saxena, who disapproves of their relationship due to Rohit’s modest background. Rohit loses his job, but he vows to succeed so he can be worthy of marrying Sonia. With support from Atul and other friends, he records a song to launch his musical career. However, on the night of his first concert, while picking up Amit from school, Rohit inadvertently witnesses the murder of a police commissioner by Malik and two corrupt officers, Satish Shinde and Dilip Kadam, who are targeted for exposing their illegal drug dealings. Rohit gets brutally attacked by them for this horrifying discovery but he manages to escape. Fearing exposure, Malik contacts Saxena—revealed to be the real mastermind behind a drug cartel—and orders Rohit’s death. During a frantic chase, Rohit’s bike malfunctions, and he is pushed off a bridge into the sea. Unable to swim, he dies by drowning, and his corpse is never recovered.

Devastated by Rohit’s death, Sonia falls into deep depression, prompting Saxena to send her to live with his brother in New Zealand. There, she meets Raj Chopra, her cousin Nita’s best friend, who strikingly resembles Rohit and is also a talented singer. Initially, Sonia clings to the hope that Rohit might still be alive, but she soon realizes that Raj is a completely different man who was born and brought up in New Zealand and never visited India. Though Raj falls in love with her, Sonia, still grieving, resists his advances—a situation that creates further tension with her family. After a brief confrontation by Nita, Sonia finally shows Rohit’s photos to Raj shocking him to the core about the striking resemblance.

When Sonia returns to India, Raj accompanies her despite her reluctance and accepts her rejection. At the airport, Shinde mistakenly shoots Raj, confusing him for Rohit. Fleeing together, Raj realizes that Rohit’s death was likely a murder rather than an accident due the attack on former despite no connections to India prior to this visit. Together with Sonia and Rohit’s best friend Tony, they uncover disturbing clues. Amit—who had become mute following the tragedy—finally speaks, revealing that he witnessed Rohit being attacked and that Malik, known to him as “Sirjee,” ordered the hit.

Determined to expose the truth, Raj, Sonia, Atul, and Tony stage a revival of Rohit’s concert, announcing his return from the dead to flush out the killers. The ruse creates panic among the culprits, and during the performance, Sonia confides in Saxena, revealing the secret behind Rohit’s death and the identities of those involved. As the disguised murderers attempt to silence Raj when he recounts Amit’s testimony, he narrowly survives a shooting—thanks to his body armor—but the danger escalates when Sonia is kidnapped.

Following the kidnappers’ demands, Raj infiltrates their hideout, rescues Sonia, and takes down Shinde and Kadam, avenging Rohit’s death. Malik appears and admits that Rohit was killed for witnessing the commissioner’s murder. He is just about to reveal that Saxena was the true cause of the murder, when Saxena himself murders Malik. When Anthony, Lily, Tony, and Amit arrive, Amit recognizes the dead Malik as the person who called "Sirjee." Investigating further, Raj uncovers evidence on Malik’s cellphone that confirms Saxena’s role as the cartel leader behind the crimes. As Saxena is arrested, he confesses his involvement in the Commissioner and Rohit’s murder.

In the aftermath, with justice partially served and the truth finally revealed, Raj takes Amit back to New Zealand. Sonia, having found solace and new love in Raj, confesses her feelings for him. Their engagement is celebrated by all, marking a bittersweet conclusion to their turbulent journey.

== Reception ==
=== Critical reception ===
''Kaho Naa.. Pyaar Hai'' received highly positive reviews from critics upon release, with particular praise directed towards Hrithik's performance and the film's soundtrack. However, most critics also criticized the film's "clichéd" storyline.

The reviewer for ''[[Filmfare]]'' rated it 3.5 out of 5, and wrote, "Rakesh Roshan has come up with a winner. A racy script, excellent product values and taut editing result in a storyline that keeps the audience hooked throughout. The music is also good, especially the title song and numbers such as "Ek Pal Ka Jeena" and "Chand Sitaare". Hrithik is very good in the action and dance sequences, and proves his acting calibre in his very first film. Patel too performs well."<ref>{{cite web|title=KAHO NA PYAAR HAI (FILMFARE ONLINE)|url=http://filmfare.indiatimes.com/reviews/01_18_2000d.htm|access-date=25 October 2015|archive-url=https://archive.today/20000304141312/http://filmfare.indiatimes.com/nowshowing/index1.htm|archive-date=4 March 2000}}</ref>

Sabiha Kalolwala of ''[[The Indian Express]]'' wrote, "Rakesh Roshan has been smart enough to make a film which encompasses all the facets of acting&nbsp;— drama, action, romance, thrill, comedy and tragedy, all of them enacted pretty well by Hrithik Roshan." Of the soundtrack, he wrote, "There is not even one song which is not enjoyable."<ref>{{cite news|last1=Kalolwala|first1=Sabiha|title=Reviews|url=http://archive.indianexpress.com/Storyold/142644/|newspaper=The Indian Express|access-date=18 May 2016|date=1 February 2000}}</ref> [[Anupama Chopra]], reviewing the film for ''[[India Today]]'' wrote, "... Rakesh has taken the routine love-story, added a thriller twist and narrated it with style. ''KNPH'' isn't about path-breaking craft, it's about blockbuster presentation. Rakesh's sweat and money are apparent in every frame." She concluded writing, "What doesn't work is the tired villain track. Kher, one of Bollywood's finest, hams from frame 1. Perhaps the idea of playing disgruntled papa yet again was too tedious. His post-climax repenting is almost comical. The rest of the gang isn't much better. The plot is as stale as the performances."<ref>{{cite web|last1=Chopra|first1=Anupama|title=Launching pad|url=http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/kaho-naa-pyar-hai-hrithik-roshan-is-an-impressive-newcomer/1/243343.html|work=India Today|access-date=18 May 2016|date=24 January 2000}}</ref> Kanchana Suggu of ''[[Rediff.com]]'' called the film a "great entertainer" and wrote, "One must say Rakesh Roshan knew what he was doing when he cast Hrithik as the lead. The boy is good. The ease and style with which he dances, emotes, fights, makes one forget this is his debut film. He's had to essay two different characters, and he's done justice to both." Also commending the performances of other actors, she wrote praises of other departments in that the "music is good, the songs are catchy, the cinematography is appealing, the direction is unobtrusive and the story is actually 'different'."<ref>{{cite web|last1=Suggu|first1=Kanchana|title=At last, a great entertainer|url=http://www.rediff.com/movies/2000/jan/14kaho.htm|website=Rediff.com|access-date=3 May 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030304164253/http://www.rediff.com/movies/2000/jan/14kaho.htm|archive-date=4 March 2003|date=14 January 2000}}</ref>

The interval twist of the movie - where the hero supposedly dies in an accident - and the second half of the film - where the heroine is sent out of her hometown to her uncle's place in order to overcome her depression, but is shell-shocked to find a lookalike in a vehicle nearby, and later catches a glimpse of him again in a discotheque dancing merrily - was reported to be based on the 1986 Kannada movie ''[[Ratha Sapthami]]''.<ref>{{Cite web |date=12 April 2018 |title=Did You Know Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai is inspired by the Kannada blockbuster Ratha Sapthami (1986)? |url=https://medium.com/@bollywoodbeatles/did-you-know-kaho-naa-pyaar-hai-is-inspired-by-the-kannada-blockbuster-ratha-sapthami-1986-eeb7bff168c |website=Medium}}</ref><ref name="The Times of India">{{Cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/bollywood/did-you-know/did-you-know-that-hrithik-roshans-debut-film-kaho-naa-pyaar-hai-was-included-in-the-guinness-book-of-world-records/articleshow/63269339.cms|title=Did you know that Hrithik Roshan's debut film 'Kaho Naa...
