Mann - Soul's Heart

Dev Karan Singh (Aamir Khan), a Casanova and ambitious painter deep in debt, agrees to marry Anita (Deepti Bhatnagar), the daughter of Pratap Rai Singhania (Dalip Tahil), a rich tycoon. Dev is deep is debt and is bankrupt. For Dev the marriage to Anita is a business deal. Priya (Manisha Koirala), a music teacher for children, is engaged to Raj (Anil Kapoor), whom she has agreed to marry because he had helped her when she was in need. Priya was 2 years old when her parents died in a car crash. Priya learned dance at her orphanage. Raj was a chief guest at her first function and offered to open up a dance academy where Priya could teach children. Later he asked for marriage. Priya and Dev meet on a cruise (Priya has won a contest and Dev is going to meet his grandma Suhana Devi (Sharmila Tagore), who lives on an island where only the cruise ship goes) (Priya undresses in Dev's cabin, thinking it is her cabin and Dev thinks Priya is a prostitute). Dev becomes fond of Priya. Dev is a fun-loving, flamboyant Casanova. He tries to get close to Priya. Initially, she doesn't get impressed by Dev (she even slaps him after he tries to get his hands on her during a serenade song. Dev offers to be friends with Priya after she tells him that she is engaged. But then Dev wants Priya to help with his other "conquests" on the ship, which she finds disgusting, but goes along as otherwise he won't leave her alone), but later falls in love with him (she gets jealous as Dev serenades other women on the ship and realizes that she is in love. Dev also stops the paparazzi who try to harass Priya by threatening to ruin her reputation by printing their pics being together). Dev takes Priya to meet his grandma. Priya and Suhana get along very well with each other. Suhana asks Priya to follow her heart. she is in tears when she leaves the island. Next day Bombay will come and the 2 will be separated. Dev admits his feelings for Priya. He begs for 6 months to work hard and prove his love for her. However, due to them already being engaged to other people, they agree to work everything out and meet in 6 months on Valentine's Day to get married. During the 6 months, Dev breaks off his engagement with Anita (Raj was there when Dev publicly broke off his engagement with Anita and applauds his commitment towards his love) and starts working hard (he even takes up menial jobs such as painting zebra crossings and ad posters on billboards). Driven by his love, he creates and auctions beautiful paintings, and becomes very successful along with the support of his friend Nattu (Neeraj Vora). On the other hand, Priya realizes that leaving Raj will be wrong (the headmistress of her orphanage tells Priya that if she leaves Raj, then going forward no decent man will ever marry a girl from the orphanage) and sadly writes a letter to Dev, explaining everything. When Raj gets the letter instead, he supports Priya and convinces her to go to Dev. Things take a bad turn when, on her way to meet him, Priya gets hit by a car and gets her legs amputated. Dev, who waited all night for Priya, believes she has rejected him, as he does not know of her accident. Priya forbids Raj from telling Dev the truth, not wanting to become a burden on him. Now, Priya spends her time running a musical academy for small kids. Though heartbroken, Dev continues his career and goes on to become a famous painter. One day, Priya attends his art exhibition and wishes to buy a painting of his, a sentimental picture of her speaking to his beloved grandmother, whom Dev had introduced to her during the cruise. Dev had said that he would not sell the painting as it was only for Priya, but upon hearing that the girl who wanted it understands the emotion behind the picture and is disabled, he tells the host of the exhibition to give the painting to her for free. One day, he meets Priya again with Raj at a theatre gathering but again Priya forbids Raj of telling the truth. He visits Priya to give her an anklet that his grandmother, who recently died, had wished for Priya to have when she became Dev's bride. Initially unaware of Priya's condition, Dev realizes the truth when he remembers giving the painting to a handicapped girl and finds the same painting in another room. The two embrace tearfully and he assures Priya that he will love her no matter what. Dev and Priya then married by Raj, where Dev carries Priya for the wedding rounds in the presence of Nattu and the children of the Musical academy.
