Synopsis
Rohit (Hrithik Roshan) is an aspiring singer who meets Sonia Saxena (Amisha Patel). They end up going on a cruise together and eventually get stranded on a deserted island. They eventually fall deeply in love but her father (Anupam Kher) is bitterly opposed to their relationship. Unfortunately for Rohit he is killed by two corrupt policemen. Sonia goes into depression so her father sends her to New Zealand to her cousin to recover and get over Rohit.
When she reaches there she sees someone who looks like Rohit, but is known as Raj (also Hrithik Roshan). Sonia and Raj soon meet and he falls in love with her. But she doesn't return his love back, because she knows that her one true love is dead, and seeing someone's face which is so similar is just too painful. They go to India together but as soon as they leave the airport, Raj is shot. Soon, the two begin to question whether Rohit's death was an accident or a murder. They figure out Rohit was murdered. So, Raj and Sonia's friends make-up a plan to find Rohit's killers. But the plan backfires and the murderers kidnap Sonia. Raj comes to the rescue and saves her. Then and there, he figures out who Rohit's killers are and surprisingly one of their accomplices is Sonia's father. Eventually, all ends well with the bad guys gone to jail, Raj and Sonia getting married(Sonia finally falls in love with Raj), and Rohit's soul finally resting in peace, but is never forgotten....
