What happens

Haseena Maan Jaayegi (transl. The beauty will agree) is a 1999 Indian Hindi-language comedy film directed by David Dhawan. It stars Sanjay Dutt, Govinda, Karisma Kapoor and Pooja Batra, with Anupam Kher, Kader Khan, Aruna Irani, and Paresh Rawal in supporting. The film is thematically inspired by the 1966 film Pyar Kiye Jaa, which itself is a remake of the 1964 Tamil classic film Kadhalikka Neramillai. It was released on Karisma Kapoor's 25th birthday on the 25th of June in 1999, with a positive critical reception, and went on to become the fifth-highest-grossing Hindi film of 1999. It is often regarded amongst Govinda's greatest performances, and he won many awards for his role as Monu and Chachaji. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
