The brothers are son of a businessman, Bhaanu Prataap Saigal (Saeed Jaaffrey) and his wife - Shaanti (Reema Laagoo). This story is a love triangle in which the girl - Sapna (Kajol) who happens to be the daughter of the driver of the household whose two sons - Vijay (Akshay Kumar) and Vicky (Saif Ali Khan) unwillingly and unknowingly become each other's Raqeeb for her love. An adaptation of Hollywood movie - Sabrina (1954), this movie has been produced by the prestigious Yash Raj banner of Bollywood and the responsibility of direction has been put on the shoulders of Naresh Malhotra. However the first Bollywood movie showing two real brothers as Raqeeb (rival in love) of each other is, in my opinion, Yeh Dillagi (this joke / this teasing) which came as late as in 1994. Movies like President (1937) and Bahaaren Phir Bhi Aayengi (1966) were made in Bollywood showing two real sisters falling in love with a common male. In Indian patriarchal social set-up, the sisters' rivalry in love could be digested by the public but not the brothers' rivalry for that purpose. Nevertheless, it may happen that two sisters fall in love with the same man or two brothers fall in love with the same woman. However Indian social and family values have always put a premium on brotherhood (and sisterhood) and the love between the siblings has been silently considered as supreme over the romantic love for the opposite sex. Love is such a phenomena that when a person (or two persons mutually) is hit by it, he / she never knows when it's happened.
