->'''Rahul:''' Love? ...[[WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove What is love?]]
->'''Pooja:''' Love? Love is life.
Nisha (Creator/KarismaKapoor) is in love with her old friend Rahul (Creator/ShahRukhKhan), the director of the dance troupe she works in, but Rahul doesn't believe in love, until he falls for Pooja (Creator/MadhuriDixit), an orphan engaged to childhood friend Ajay (Creator/AkshayKumar, in a guest appearance). Much angst, and singing and dancing, ensues...

!!This film provides examples of:
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: Rahul and Nisha have a conversation in the third act in which they basically say this outright, with Nisha heartbroken over Rahul and angry at herself for being unable to be happy for him, and Rahul pining after Pooja and angry that he can't just love Nisha instead. Ultimately {{subverted}}, though.
* AllStarCast: Shahrukh and Madhuri were and are considered to be superstars, and Karisma Kapoor and Akshay Kumar would have been at least A-list or upper B-list stars at the time as well.
* AlmostKiss: One of the most memorable scenes from the movie revolves around this trope. Rahul has Pooja's bangle and refuses to give it back until she comes closer... and closer... and ''closer''...
* ArrangedMarriage: Pooja is all set to marry Ajay so that she can officially be part of her adopted family until she falls in love with Rahul. This trope is somewhat subverted in that while Pooja isn't in love with Ajay and his parents are overjoyed at the prospect, Ajay initiated the whole thing before his parents even found out about it.
* BettyAndVeronica: Pooja is the sweet, demure Betty who dresses in saris and dreams of true love, while Nisha is the brash, modern Veronica who is generally comfortable wearing and saying what she wants. This even extends to their dance styles. Pooja's style draws more from the ancient classical style of Kathak (which Creator/MadhuriDixit is a trained dancer in), while Nisha primarily dances in more Western-influenced motions.
** However, this is reversed in their respective roles in Rahul's life. Nisha has been friends with Rahul long enough that he has no hesitation in barging into her apartment when he needs to, while he and Pooja don't even ''meet'' until intermission.
* CantSpitItOut
* ChildhoodFriends: Ajay and Pooja. They're technically adoptive siblings, but seem to just view themselves as best friends rather than brother and sister.
* CrowdSong
* TheCharmer: Rahul. Unsurprising considering it's Creator/ShahRukhKhan that plays him.
* FatalFlaw: Pooja's willingness to sacrifice her own happiness in order to avoid hurting somebody else. If it weren't for Ajay intervening at the eleventh hour and telling her that their engagement was a bad idea, basically everybody would have ended up unhappy.
* FirstGirlWins: Nisha is the first girl in Rahul's life and the first one the audience sees in the story proper, but Pooja is the one the audience sees and hears talking about the RedStringOfFate in the prologue portion before the opening credits.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Nisha and Ajay both ultimately have this attitude, although Nisha takes it UpToEleven, becoming ''so'' distraught on Rahul's behalf when it looks as though he and Pooja aren't going to get together that she's almost in tears.
* JustFriends: Rahul and Nisha and Pooja and Ajay are both pairs of platonic friends who have known each other for years and who suddenly have their relationship complicated by one of them catching feelings that the other doesn't reciprocate. Pooja also tries to keep her relationship with Rahul in this territory due to becoming engaged to Ajay.
* LoveHurts: And how!
* ManicPixieDreamGirl: {{Deconstructed}} with Pooja. She has the archetypal carefree and quirky personality and enters Rahul's life as his [[TheMuse muse]] because of her similarity to "Maya," the character in his head. However, the real Pooja is also her own person with her own life, priorities, and flaws, and the two of them only start to connect romantically after Rahul stops equating her with Maya and begins treating her with more sensitivity and respect.
* MatingDance: Rahul on the bongos being answered by Pooja's ankle bells in the adjoining room. This somehow manages to fit the trope despite the fact that they don't actually ''see'' each other until the end of the sequence.
* MeetCute: Comes comparatively late in the film, when Rahul hunts Pooja down while she's buying groceries to convince her to be in his play after seeing her dance the night before. [[DoggedNiceGuy It does not go smoothly.]]
* PrimaDonnaDirector: Despite coming off as rather childish and being fun-loving, goofy and sometimes awkward, Rahul takes his art very seriously and can be a bit of a tyrant in the studio.
* RageAgainstTheHeavens: Rahul and Nisha angrily railing against God and fate because AllLoveIsUnrequited.
* RedStringOfFate: Pooja pretty much recites the definition of this in the opening monologue. Suffice to say it is a factor in her love life, as well as a major theme of the film.
* ShipTease: With a slight bit of PairTheSpares for [[spoiler: Ajay and Nisha]] at the end. Although it's mostly played for laughs.
