Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega was the third consecutive hit between Khan and Nadiadwala's collaboration after Jeet (1996) and Judwaa (1997) as well as one of the year's top-earnings films with a gross of ₹965.5 million worldwide. The film entered the top 10 chart in the UK.[2]

At the 46th Filmfare Awards, Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega received 2 nominations – Best Supporting Actress (Mukerji) and Best Female Playback Singer (Preeti & Pinky for "Piya Piya").

Plot

Raj (Salman Khan) is a singer trying to make his way in the big city of Mumbai. He rescues a young woman who has fallen in front of a train and stays with her when she is rushed to a hospital. Pooja Oberoi (Rani Mukerji), the daughter of a wealthy family, survives but falls into a coma. Her family rushes to the hospital and, finding Raj there, assumes that he is Pooja's husband, Romi, with whom she had eloped to marry and whom they had never met. Since Pooja's father has a higher chance of a heart attack, Raj lies and says he is Romi.

As the family gets to know the pretend Romi, Pooja's best friend, Jahnvi (Preity Zinta) starts spending a lot of time with him. They both fall in love with each other, who is regarded as a second daughter by Pooja's family. Then Pooja revives from her coma and complicates matters by falling for Raj. In a conversation, Pooja and Jahnvi both reveal that they both love Raj using signs (Hand up) but Jahnvi realises that Pooja loves Raj resulting in her putting her hand down. Raj and Jahnvi put their relationship to an end. On the day of their engagement, Jahnvi unknowingly takes Pooja's cell phone (Her and Pooja's cellphone look the same). Knowing that Raj will never marry Pooja if she's there, she decides to leave. When Jahnvi's cell phone rings, Pooja picks it up and it ends up being Raj's best friend who pleads Jahnvi to break this wedding and come back to Raj. Pooja then reveals to everyone about Raj and Jahnvi and Raj and Jahnvi are once reunited. Pooja chooses Rahul (Shah Rukh Khan) to marry her.

Critical reception

The film was generally well received by the critics, with the performances of the three leads receiving particular praise.[5]

Film journal Screen praised the performances of Khan and Zinta and wrote, "The director deserves to be commended for his efforts to spring a few surprises in the film and extract better performances from the lead players."[6] Aparajita Saha of Rediff wrote that the film is "guaranteed to give audiences everywhere that mushy, gooey, everything-is-all-right-with-the-world sensation they crave."[7] Vinayak Chakravorty of Hindustan Times praised Zinta and noted Kanwar for his "treatment is frothy in the romantic first half and sensibly balanced in the mushy second."[8]

Dinesh Raheja of India Today wrote, "a fluorescent feel-good film, with everything from the psychedelic sets to the multitude of outfits being as colourful as a candy wrapper."[9] Madhur Mittal of The Tribune was particularly fond of the "devastating, delightful, delicious duo" of Zinta and Mukherji", noting their comic timing.[10]
