Synopsis
Male lead (Jackie Shroff) is left with three young girls to raise and to marry off when his wife is suddenly killed in a police chase. The oldest daughter has an arranged marriage, the second oldest marries a boyfriend, but the last daughter (Kareena Kapoor) encounters the biggest problem when her lover and family friend (Hrithik Roshan) becomes engaged (conveniently by force) to someone else.
Criticism
The film was the first box office flop for Subhash Ghai and critical reviews were mixed. Ghai has since gone on record defending the film, stating that he originally developed it as solely a story of a father and his three daughters (their love interests were secondary). However, distributors apparently put pressure on him to showcase more of Hrithik Roshan in the film (his popularity skyrocketed during the making of this film). Kareena Kapoor has also since gone on record supporting the film in spite of its debacle, thanking Ghai for giving her a role that allowed to her showcase a lot of range.
