In the vast world of Bollywood cinema, where love stories are a dime a dozen, originality is key to capturing the audience’s heart. Unfortunately, “Pyaar Hai Toh Hai” falls short in that department. While the title translates to “If There’s Love,” the film itself offers very little that feels fresh or engaging.
Story
The story revolves around a love triangle that’s been told countless times before. We have Arman (played by Karan Hariharan), a young man who falls for Nimmo (Paanie Kashyap), his childhood friend. However, their budding romance is disrupted by the arrival of Vikas (Abhishek Duhan), a mysterious newcomer who also sets his sights on Nimmo.

| Arman | Karan Hariharan |
| Nimmo | Paanie Kashyap |
| Vikas | Abhishek Duhan |
| Friend 1 | Rohit Choudhury |
| Friend 2 | Shiv Prateek |
Review
“Pyaar Hai Toh Hai” feels like a paint-by-numbers love story. The predictable plot unfolds with no surprises, leaving you feeling like you’ve seen it all before. The characters are one-dimensional, lacking the depth and complexity that could have drawn viewers in. The dialogue is equally uninspired, relying on tired clichés and overly dramatic declarations of love.
While the film boasts a scenic backdrop, the visuals fail to compensate for the weak narrative. The musical numbers, intended to showcase the blossoming romance, feel forced and forgettable. Director Pradeep R.K. Chaudhary’s approach lacks any creative spark, resulting in a film that feels derivative and uninspired.
Verdict
“Pyaar Hai Toh Hai” might have a catchy title, but the love story itself fails to leave a lasting impression. The predictable plot, bland characters, and uninspired execution make this a movie you can easily skip. If you’re looking for a refreshing and engaging romantic experience, you’d be better off searching elsewhere.
