What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Prem is quiet and mature while Raja is a thief and outgoing, causing others to misread their behavior when the twins encounter each other.
The twins’ resemblance repeatedly confuses Mala and Roopa as each woman encounters apparent changes in her lover.
The twin-centered romantic comedy is complicated by Tiger Ratanlal’s vengeance against the Malhotra family.
Salman Khan plays both Prem and Raja, whose opposing personalities power the film’s comic situations.
