Mujhe Kucch Kehna Hai focuses on Karan (Tusshar Kapoor), who is a teenager, though fails in studies, performs excellent music with his friends. His father, Krishna (Dalip Tahil) believes he should give up music and focus on his studies. Sushma (Himani Shivpuri) is Karan's mother. Balram Singh (Amrish Puri) is Krishna's elder brother, and they live in a joint family. Karan's college friends are Chinku (Vrajesh Hirjee), Dabbu (Hemant Pandey) and Hrithik (Gopal Datt). Priya (Rinke Khanna) is Karan's sister, and is studying to become a doctor. Karan's elder brother Pankaj is a computer engineer Chiku tries to commit suicide when the girl he loves is being forcefully married to someone else by her father. Karan gets Pinky to run away from her house and brings her to the temple to marry Chiku. Pinky's father arrives at the temple and brings Chiku with him. He had beaten Chiku so much, that he refuses to marry Pinky. Karan fights off Pinky's father and all of his goons. The father is a MLA and calls the police. Karan is arrested and faces wrath from Krishna. That night, Karan is depressed. Wandering on the streets, he notices young Pooja (Kareena Kapoor) playing with little children. Before he can approach her, she leaves. After that, he starts to see her everywhere (on the streets, at the temple and so on) (but every-time Pooja leaves before Karan can approach her or talk to her), and completely falls in love with her. He looks day and night, but there is no sign of Pooja. Pooja is a philanthropist and the niece of Rana Virendra Pratap Singh (Alok Nath). Priya derides Karan and says that this is merely attraction and not love. One day Pooja notices Karan save a dosing girl from falling off her father's scooter.. Pooja likes all people who do good and wants to take his autograph. But before she can reach out to Karan, he has already left. Priya is being harassed by some goons led by gang leader (Yashpal Sharma). Karan finds out and picks up a huge fight with them. The gang-leader is beaten up and retreats as Karan's friends arrive with reinforcements. To get Karan to focus on his studies, he is sent to Shimla to stay his uncle, where their car breaks down. He hitches a ride from a stranger, and is shocked to find out that the driver is his dream girl, Pooja (she was also sent to Shimla by her father). During the drive, a truck hits the car which falls into a valley. Karan and Pooja hang by the edge of the cliff but Karan saves Pooja before his hands slip and he falls down. After gaining consciousness, Pooja realizes it was her fault that Karan died and searches for his body. Meanwhile, Karan is found by a lumberjack in the forest and is taken to a hospital. He is reunited with his family, and starts his rehabilitation at home. Pooja finds Karan first (by working with her uncle Rana Virendra Pratap) and they start a friendship. Pooja is relieved that Karan has lived. Balram advises Karan to go fast and announce his love to Pooja. But Priya advises that Pooja is a mature woman and says that Karan should get to know her first.. Karan starts spending more time with Pooja. Pooja comes over to Karan's house for Teej.. Pooja and Priya become close friends. Balram treats her like family. Karan's friends also meet Pooja and sing his praises in front of her. Karan finds that Krishna has fixed Priya marriage with an avg looking doctor who studies with her. He knows Priya's ambitions of marrying a good looking, handsome man. He objects to his family. But Balram tells Karan that Priya has selected the guy. Priya confirms the news and says that she realized that Rajesh really loves her and is devoted to her. His love is pure and he will keep her happy, so she is OK to sacrifice for looks and other things. When it feels like their friendship is evolving into something more, he finds out that Rana Sahab has planned an engagement to a US friend of Pooja. But later Pooja tells Karan that her friend is engaged to some other girl and not Pooja. Karan is very relieved. He spends even more time with Pooja as she participates in the family festivities around Priya's wedding. For Pooja's birthday, Karan writes her a letter with his blood, but she finds it disgusting. At the same time she gives him a trumpet as a gift.. Karan's friends advise him that the time has come to express his love to Pooja. The gangster returns just as Karan was heading to Pooja and destroys the trumpet. Karan is enraged and beats up the gangster badly and forces him to retreat. Karan reaches Pooja and finds that Pooja is also bound for America for further studies (her application to Harvard was accepted). Devastated, he finally confesses that he loves her (after being yelled at by Priya (just before her departure from the wedding ceremony) to tell the truth to Pooja, as Karan didn't want Pooja to stay back because of him). Actually Karan never said a word and warned his entire family from saying anything to Pooja. But Pooja figures out that Karan loves her just before she is about to leave for her flight at the airport. Pooja cannot deny her feelings, also confesses her love and they both promise to marry each other when she gets back.
