Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon (2003)

English: I am crazy about Prem (Prem also means love). This is important or you miss some plot and puns.

Romance comedy drama written and directed by Sooraj Barjatya and made special by Sanjana (Kareena Kapoor) the most EXTRA young woman who is definitely not hoping for an arranged marriage. Enter Prem Kishen (Hrithik Roshan) via Sanjana's sister's connections who is charming, outgoing, and utterly lovable. Sanjana's suitor-repelling pranks are hilarious and ineffective and a connection forms but ALAS, THERE IS MORE PLOT. Props to Johnny Lever for a great comedic job and to Abhishek Bachchan for bringing exactly the right kind of gravitas and unspeakable hotness.

This is so much fun, and so, so extra, I adore Kareena Kapoor's over the top acting in this, when she gets bullied into singing for him by her mother and just SCREAMS it's fantastic. Balanced by some truly tender end-game plot. Ridiculous and delightful. The stuff about the feet and hands, the couple who keep making out in the car, the scream.
