Directed by Raj Kanwar and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala under the Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment banner, Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega was released on August 4, 2000.

The story follows Raj (Salman Khan), a cheerful young man who finds himself caught in an unusual situation after pretending to be the fiancé of Pooja (Rani Mukerji), a woman lying in a coma. As Raj looks after her, Pooja's close friend Jahnvi (Preity Zinta) develops feelings for him, leading to an emotional love triangle filled with romance, sacrifice, and heartfelt moments.
Apart from its engaging storyline, the film earned lasting popularity for its music composed by Anu Malik.
