Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai (transl. Say It... You're In Love) is a 2000 Indian Hindi-language musical romantic thriller film written, directed and produced by Rakesh Roshan. It marks the debut of his son Hrithik Roshan and fellow actress Ameesha Patel. Upon its release on 14 January 2000, the film along with Hrithik Roshan's debut act and the soundtrack album became an instant sensational blockbuster success. It earned over ₹800 million (US$17.8 million) worldwide, becoming the second highest-grossing film of 2000.

The film received positive reviews from critics, with particular praise directed towards Hrithik's performance, dancing skills, physique and looks, and the soundtrack. However, most critics also criticized the film's "clichéd" storyline. Hrithik became an overnight superstar.^[2]^[3] His debut was termed "Hrithik Mania" by the media,^[4]^[5] and he has been known as the "Millennial Superstar" ever since.^[6]^[7]^[8]

Kaho Naa.. Pyaar Hai went on to be inducted into the Guinness World Records (2002) for being a feature film with the most awards won a total of 92 awards received in numerous ceremonies and categories.^[9] Likewise, the film would be added to the Limca Book of Records (2003) for the greatest number of awards won by a Bollywood film.^[10] As director and producer, Rakesh Roshan collected his first ever Filmfare Award, while his son became the only actor ever to win both the Filmfare Award for Best Actor and the Filmfare Award for Best Debut for the same film. The core concept of the movie was inspired by the 1986 Kannada movie Ratha Sapthami, and the 1996 Tamil film Love Birds.^[11]^[12]^[13]^[14]

Following the success of Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai, the father-son duo have gone on to collaborate in many more films, including Koi... Mil Gaya (2003), Krrish (2006), Kites (2010), Krrish 3 (2013), and Kaabil (2017).
