What happens

Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya (transl. Why Did I Fall In Love?) is a 2005 Indian Hindi-language romantic comedy film directed by David Dhawan. It is a remake of the 1969 American film, Cactus Flower which was an adaptation of the 1965 play of the same name by Abe Burrows, itself based on the French play Fleur de cactus by Pierre Barillet and Jean-Pierre Gredy. It was remade for the first time in Hindi as Dil Ka Doctor (1995). It stars Salman Khan, Sushmita Sen and Katrina Kaif along with Sohail Khan, Arshad Warsi, Beena Kak, Rajpal Yadav and Isha Koppikar in supporting roles. The film revolves around the relationships of a womanizing doctor who gets ultimately stuck between two women: a patient with suicidal tendencies and his nurse. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
