So thanks to elder sister, Roopa, Prem is chosen to be her prospective partner.

But much to Sanjana's dismay, Prem turns out to be a total opposite to what she is - he loves adventure sports which she hates; she loves reading which Prem totally detests.

More so, he befriends Sanjana upon their first meeting.

Despite this fact, Sanjana gets attracted to this stranger.

Soon they begin to enjoy those special moments which make life worth living.

Prem's attitude convinces Sanjana that he is the man for her.

She promises to love him till the end of time.

Onto the scene enters Prem Kumar (Abhishek Bachchan) with his mother (Rima Lagu).

Prem is a young, introvert businessman who does not have many friends.

Workaholic by nature, Prem is respected by his family.

It so happens, that Sanjana's boyfriend is actually the best friend of this Prem (Abhishek) - what a surprise!

The twist comes when Sanjana's Prem (Hrithik) is forced to go to Delhi on a business assignment.

Unaware of what lies ahead, Sanjana meets this Prem Kumar. She sees Prem as a workaholic human being with a gentle nature - someone wanting to laugh and love but simply cannot bring himself to do so.

She teaches him to be free of all his inhibitions.

By doing so, Sanjana finds a true friend whom she can confide her innermost secrets.

As for Prem Kumar, he realises that this is the girl he has been waiting for, all his life.

Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon (meaning I will love you till the end. . .) is the story of Sanjana who becomes indecisive about love and friendship when she meets her two Prems.

Going by director, Sooraj Barjatya's track record, one can easily predict that this film too, will be a runaway success at the box office this summer.

Previewed by Manish Gajjar, BBC Shropshire's Mr Bollywood.
