What happens

Mujhse Dosti Karoge! (transl. Will You Be My Friend!) is a 2002 Indian Hindi-language romantic comedy drama film written and directed by Kunal Kohli in his directorial debut, and produced by Yash Chopra under the Yash Raj Films banner. The film stars Hrithik Roshan, Rani Mukerji, Kareena Kapoor, and Uday Chopra. Set across London and India, the narrative centers on a love triangle between three childhood friends-Raj, Tina, and Pooja-exploring themes of friendship, identity, and emotional miscommunication. It marked Kohli's first collaboration with Yash Raj Films as a director, and the only on-screen pairing of Roshan and Mukerji, despite both (along with Kapoor) appearing in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham... (2001). Principal photography took place in the United Kingdom and India. The music was composed by Rahul Sharma, with lyrics written by Anand Bakshi. The soundtrack incorporated both original compositions and Bollywood classics from the 1970s and 1980s. Mujhse Dosti Karoge! was released on 9 August 2002 and received mixed reviews from critics, with praise for its music and performances, but criticism for its narrative structure. The film was a commercial failure, though it ranked as the sixth highest-grossing Hindi film of the year, with a worldwide gross of ₹336.1 million (US$4 million). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
