Synopsis

edit

Karan Malhotra and Pooja are studying at the same college in Pune. They fall in love, and everything seems to be going fine until one day, while visiting her brother in Mumbai, Pooja's flight is hijacked by a group of terrorists, following the arrest of their leader Ashraf-ul-Haq Malik (Vishal Khanna).

The hijacking has been engineered by Pooja's brother Vijay Varma, who is in league with the terrorist head Akhmash Jalal. Vijay is unaware of the fact that his sister is on the flight. When he realizes this, he is unable to do anything, as Akhmash forbids him from doing anything to jeopardize their mission.

Karan risks his life and rescues Pooja and the other passengers, getting rid of all the hijackers on the plane in the process, thus inviting the wrath of Akhmash and Vijay. Akhmash then sets out to kill Karan. On the other hand, Vijay puts his foot down when Pooja reveals her intentions of marrying Karan.

Pooja and Karan decide to escape, but they are chased and nabbed by Akhmash and his men and held captive in his den. Akhmash then tries to blackmail the Indian government by demanding the release of his leader, Ashraf-ul-Haq Mallik, as a ransom for the lives of Karan and Pooja. The Indian government decides to release Ashraf-ul-Haq Mallik to rescue Karan. In the last scene, there is a fight between Karan and the terrorists, and all the bad guys are killed, including Ashraf-ul-Haq Mallik. Karan and Pooja are united.

Reception

edit

Anna M. M. Vetticad of India Today wrote, "Nath shows some spark. Jividha doesn't. Despite laughable improbabilities, a watchable film."[5] Ronjita Kulkarni of Rediff.com wrote, "What does Yeh Dil Aashiqanaa offer? Well, apart from the usual masala and drama, nothing out of the ordinary. The music is jarring and too many. Though the action sequences are well executed and quite enjoyable."[6]
