BollyDreamz - Hamara Dil Aapke Paas Hai

Remake of the Telugu hit 'Pelli Cheskundam', 'Hamara Dil Aapke Paas Hai' is produced by Boney Kapoor, directed by Satish Kaushik and stars Anil Kapoor, Ashwarya Rai and Sonali Bendre in stellar roles.

The film opens with a scene showing Anil and Ash with two kids. The audience is led into believing that theirs is a happy and complete family but a couple of reels later, the truth is revealed. Anil and Ash are no man and wife and the little boy and girl are not the kids of either of them.

Ash is a rape victim, spurned by her family and secluded by society. Her rape was the result of her stand against a 'goonda' – in other words, a result of her stand on a matter of principle. Anil, who had met Ash briefly before her rape and rejection, offers her his home to live in. With nowhere else to go, Ash starts living with Anil. The two kids are Anil's step-brother and sister. Anil had learnt of his father's extra-marital affair, from the dying mother of the two innocent children and he had confronted his father to give the two kids their rightful place in society. Scared to own up his waywardness, Anil's father had point-blank denied any alliance with any woman, which had led the principled Anil to leave his home and stay separately with his half-brother and sister. It is in this home that Ash lives with the trio.

Anil slowly begins to love Ash, but the latter holds him in too high an esteem to even think of marriage with him. Enters Sonali Bendre, who vows to bring back Anil to his parental home and woos him to win his heart. Ash starts feeling jealous of Sonali and it is then that she realises that she is in love with Anil.

'Hamara Dil Aapke Paas Hai' has five comedians too – Anupam Kher, Johny Lever, Jaspal Bhatti, Satish Kaushik and a duplicate of a top star. Anupam Kher, a much married man, is in love with his neighbour's wife and he pretends to be suffering from the strange disorder – walking in the sleep – and he conveniently walks into his neighbour's house every night. 'Hamara Dil Aapke Paas Hai' has music by Sanjeev-Darshan and is scheduled for release on 25th August 2000.
