M.K. Pictures' KITNE DOOR… KITNE PAAS, directed by Mehul Kumar, is a love story.
Fardeen Khan and Amrita Arora first meet at a shopping mall in New York where they have come to do last-minute shopping, before they fly to India, since both are supposed to get married to people they've never seen.
It's not love at first sight for Fardeen or Amrita. On the contrary, they end up having a scrap and just hate the sight of each other. But destiny has something else in store…
When they land in Delhi (they travel together from the U.S.), they learn that the flight to their hometown in Gujarat (coincidentally, both live in the same city) has been cancelled. They hire a taxi, board a bus and then a hay cart before they reach their destination, but not before several incidents bring them closer.
However, both are so tradition-bound that they hide their feelings from their parents. In fact, they are all set to tie the knot with spouses of their parents' choice.
In the climax, Fardeen is all set to take the 'saat pheras' with Sonali Kulkarni, while Ayub Khan is ready with 'sindoor' in his hand for Amrita. Both the wedding pandals are erected opposite each other. What happens eventually?
Loosely inspired by the Ben Affleck-Sandra Bullock flick FORCES OF NATURE, director Mehul Kumar makes an attempt to try his hand at an altogether new genre – romance – and succeeds to an extent.
