        | Haan Maine Bhi Pyaar Kiya is a love triangle
        between Pooja Kashyap (Karisma Kapoor), Shiv Kumar  |

            Kumar). 
 The film is about a happy young couple, Pooja and Shiv. Pooja is a bright and beautiful
            girl and has a bright future. Shiv too is a bright and competitive spirited guy but he is
            cool and takes life as it comes. Pooja being an idealistic and romantic girl leaves her
            career behind and becomes a housewife. But life takes a turn when she suspects Shiv of
            adultery. Things get worse when Shiv ends up spending a night with Simone Singh due to a
            landslide. Pooja leaves him and goes. She then meets Raj who lends Pooja

        | his shoulder to cry. Raj happens to be a
        person who has everything life asks for, money, fame but not love, and that is what he
        craves for. He hopelessly ends up falling in love with Pooja and Pooja too starts  |

            | liking him. Just when they are about to get
            married, Shiv re-enters into Pooja's life. She then finds herself torn between the two
            .... Who will she choose is what is to be seen in this film.
 Dharmesh Darshan has many good films to his credit: Lootere, Raja Hindustani and Dhadkan.
            Unfortunately, this film isn't all that good and not as per expectation. The story is
            nothing new and the only good thing about the film is it's brilliant star-cast. This film
            has Abhishek and Karisma paired on the screen for the first time and as we all know they
            are paired up in real life

 |  | 
      
        | as well. 
 The dramatic sequences in the film are well handled by Dharmesh Darshan. There are light
        moments

        | 
          
            | 
 | provided by Kader Khan, Shakti Kapoor and
            Himani Shivpuri. Music by Nadeem Shravan is good escpecially the title track, the second
            best being "Zindagi ko bina pyaar koi kaise guzare". Cinematography by W.B. Rao
            is upto the mark. The outdoor locales (Switzerland) are excellently shot. Dialogues are
            ordinary.
 Performance-wise Karisma is best. She has put in lot of hard work and her co-workers have
            to say that she is one of the most dedicated actress Bollywood owns. Abhishek needs to
            work on his expressions again and
 |  | 
      
        | Akshay is okay. 
 Overall, Haan Maine Bhi Pyaar Kiya has nothing new to offer and can be compared to
        something like old wine in new bottle.
