From the title itself 8212; a direct lift from the legendary song in Mughal-e-Azam 8212; it8217;s clear that nothing about this film is original. A rehash of an old tale where a rich, protected girl from a traditional khandaan falls in love without filial approval, Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya abounds with cliches. Muskan Kajol is the niece of a generally genial Chacha Thakur Dharmendra. Arrogance may have bypassed the father, but his son Vishal Arbaaz Khan oozes high-handedness. As a result, he rules Muskan8217;s life with an iron rod. But since he also loves her more than life itself, he find it hard to refuse her permission to go study in a city college 8212; specially on Raksha Bandhan.

And on the first day of college itself, she meets the man of her dreams: Suraj Salman Khan, who is also, rather conveniently, the sole heir of a millionaire. But before theflush of first love has even faded, Vishal gets into a fight with Suraj. And that8217;s the end of their romantic interlude. In a storm of fury, he whisks Muskan away to the family home. The rest of the film is about how Suraj weasels his way into Chacha Thakur8217;s heart and how Vishal8217;s hatred for Suraj is defeated by Muskan8217;s love for her beau. A Khan brother8217;s production, Salman8217;s great talent 8212; his tanned torso 8212; has been showcased extremely well in this film as he almost never wears a shirt.

Kamaal Khan8217;s song O, O Jaane Jaan8217; is foot-tapping and if the rest of the music is as good, the film should do well. The X factor however is Sohail. His directorial debut, Auzaar was a disaster. Let8217;s hope this time round, he8217;s learnt a few lessons.
