Music of both these movies is indeed great! But the only thing I can say is Kaho na pyar hai far excelled Love Birds in terms of screenplay and performances. Also, ‘Love birds’ is not an action thriller. That’s the main difference between these two movies. Raj Chopra is not at all Rohit, though both are good singers/dancers/performers. For the same reason, I believed that poor singer Rohit, played by Hrithik Roshan will return back.

Only question was – Is Raj and Rohit same, similar to Tamil movie. When I watched kaho na pyar hai for the first time in 2000, I could easily identify it to be loosely based story line of ‘Love birds’. But what I can say is, Kaho na pyar hai released in 2000 had some striking similarities with 1996 romantic flick – Love birds. I am not sure if the plot of ‘Love birds’ or ‘Kaho na pyar hai’ is similar to any Hollywood movie. Hindi version songs like ‘No Problem’ and ‘Zamba’ could find place in music countdown shows of Hindi channels as well. But its original version did fairly well at box office. Actually similar to the previous flick of Prabhudeva-Nagma combination (Kathalan/Humse hai muquabla) with some chartbuster songs of Rahman, Love birds was also dubbed to Hindi and released in theatres though it was a failure. Rahman which became a huge hit across India.

Does anyone know it’s loosely based on the Tamil flick – ‘Love Birds’ released in 1999 which starred a dance star similar to Hrithik playing the lead role? Yes, the lead role was played by India’s Micheal Jackson Prabhudeva and Nagma played the female lead. Audience loved it for the fresh look, new star Hrithik and of course, his lovely dance steps. The movie was produced and directed by his papa, Rakesh Roshan and was the biggest hit for the year 2000. Kaho na pyar hai – the debut movie of Hrithik Roshan made him an overnight star in 2000.
