Director: Vikram Bhatt
Producer: Rohit Kumar
Aap Mujhe Achche Lagne Lage is a musical romance from current hotshot director Vikram Bhatt.
Vikram, who's currently riding high after the stupendous success of Raaz, is best known for his
action thrillers. But this is the first time he’s promoting a film of his as a musical romance.
Aap Mujhe Achche Lagne Lage has a lot of interesting angles to it. For one it gets together
Hrithik Roshan and Amisha Patel two years since they first made their debut together and gave
their first hit. Since then, Hrithik has gone on to give other hits including Karan Johar's K3G
while Amisha Patel gave another blockbuster with her second film, Gadar which also catapulted her
to the top actress category. The film also reunites Hrithik Roshan with his music composer uncle,
Rajesh Roshan after the Kaho Naa Pyar Hai mania. According to Rajesh Roshan, "Then I worked to
give my best for my nephew who was making his debut in a film. This time I have to live up to
Kaho Naa Pyar Hai's music as well my nephew's superstar status." This time uncle Rajesh Roshan
has got his nephew to sing in a few lines for one of the songs. So you'll get to see Hrithik
doing an Aamir Khan in this film. The film was originally titled Armaan but going by the
dictates of the box-office, director Vikram Bhatt and producer Rohit Kumar settled for a long
title, Aap Mujhe Achche Lagne Lage. They also felt that Armaan did not suit a romantic thriller
with the backdrop of urban crime, so they settled for a catchy mukhda of a yesteryear hit for a
title.
The story is loosely based on the original Rapunzel fairy tale. Amisha is an innocent girl
living in a maximum-security prison home, a babe in the woods in the wicked ways of the world.
Hrithik plays a college going student studying in a boys-only college. He enters her gloomy
world and makes her discover the wonderful world outside. As expected, Amisha ripens into a
beautiful woman who falls in love with Hrithik. The movie is the story of their relationship and
the changes that occur when Amisha becomes wise to the ways of the world. Mukesh Tiwari plays
Amisha''s strict and villainous brother, who's against his sister falling for Hrithik. The climax
of the movie depicts Mukesh in a major violent confrontation with Hrithik in mid-air. Mostly
shot in Australia, the film is produced by Rohit Kumar & directed by Vikram Bhatt. The film also
stars Kiran Kumar, Mukesh Tiwari, Nishigandha, Ali Asgar, Moses Lever, Sheikh Sami, Jasbir Thandi
and Suchit. Produced by Rohit Kumar, the film, a Gautam Kumar presentation is based on a story
and screenplay by Robin Bhatt and Sanjeev Duggal, dialogues by Girish Dhamija, cinematography by
Pravin Bhatt, choreography by Raju Khan, art by Gappa Chakraborty, editing by Amit Sarena and
sound by Nurari Krishna.
Amisha Patel recently predicted that AMALL would be a bigger hit than even Kaho Naa Pyar Hai.
But knowing Amisha's penchant for putting her pretty foot in her mouth, it could end being
another flop. But for Vikram Bhatt's sake, let's just hope for the best. Aap Mujhe Achche…
releases on March 29th.
