What happens

Dhadkan (transl. Heartbeat) is a 2000 Indian Hindi-language musical romantic drama directed by Dharmesh Darshan and produced by Ratan Jain. It stars Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, Shilpa Shetty and Mahima Chaudhry in lead roles. It also features Sharmila Tagore, Parmeet Sethi, Kiran Kumar, Sushma Seth and Manjeet Kullar in supporting roles. A loose adaptation of Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë, the story follows Anjali Chauhan Verma and Dev Chopra, who are in love with each other and plan to marry, but her family gets her married to Ram Verma. Years later, Dev Chopra shows up to reunite with Anjali Chauhan Verma; however, she has fallen for Ram Verma. The music was composed by Nadeem–Shravan. Delayed for almost four years for various reasons, Dhadkan finally released on August 11, 2000, coinciding with the Independence Day weekend. It emerged as a major commercial success at the box office, grossing ₹26 crore worldwide. The soundtrack album emerged as the second best-selling album of the year after Mohabbatein. At the 46th Filmfare Awards, Dhadkan received 10 nominations, including Best Film, Best Director (Darshan), Best Actor (Kumar), Best Supporting Actress (Chaudhry) and Best Music Director (Nadeem–Shravan), and won 2 awards – Best Villain (Suniel Shetty) and Best Female Playback Singer (Alka Yagnik for "Dil Ne Yeh Kaha Hai Dil Se").
