The story focuses on Donsai, the heir to the Dhanraj Empire. Donsai is extremely against marriage and believes one should never ruin his life by getting married. After the passing of his father, Suraj Rattan Dhanraj, the only way to inherit his father's five-billion dollar company is to marry his friend's Punjabi daughter, Samarpreet. Donsai gets married in Punjab, and tells Samarpreet that he will return to Punjab after three months of business, though Donsai plans not to come back.
After Donsai sees Samara (not knowing that she is his wife), he falls in love with her, and asks her out. Shimmer tells Samara to reject him; she accepts. Donsai then meets her on a yacht, where the two begin a conversation, and slowly Donsai decides to marry her. At the same time, Shimmer's plan is ruined, due to her boyfriend Pawan Raj Gandhi arriving unexpectedly for Karwa Chauth. Pawan realizes Samarpreet's problem, and offers to help out with the plan as well. Shimmer realises her feelings for PRG and she goes to meet him at the airport. At last Donsai accepts Samarpreet as his wife.
Sushmita plays the role of a successful supermodel called Shimmer.[2] Shahrukh Khan was set to make a 60-minute appearance in the film. He filmed about 17 scenes and three songs. Among the three, one is his entry sequence. Khan enters the film only in the second half, and though he was a part of the publicity, it was only within the parameters of his role. Dulha Mil Gaya was not marketed as a Shahrukh Khan film.[3]
About half of the movie was shot in Amritsar and Mumbai. The other half was filmed in Trinidad and Tobago over a month and a half period in 2007, making it the first Bollywood film to be shot in the islands.[4] Production was delayed a year and a half while Shahrukh Khan found time to shoot his scenes. Production was further delayed when Khan injured his shoulder during an action scene.[5] Dulha Mil Gaya was given a U certificate after nine cuts by the censor board.[6]
Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama gave the film 1.5 out of 5, writing, "Merely assembling A-listers and filming the movie at panoramic locations isn't enough. The film ought to have meat and that's missing here."[7] Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express gave the film 2 out of 5, calling it a "light-hearted fun, for the most part."[8]
The soundtrack was composed by Lalit Pandit and released on 14 December 2009. The lyrics are written by Mudassar Aziz; songs are arranged by Richard Mithra and Kashinath Kashyap, and all songs are mixed and engineered by Abani Tanti. The song "Shirin Farhad" had music composed by Pritam Chakraborty and lyrics by Kumaar. According to Pandit, he had to listen to hip hop music to compose the album as he had never heard songs of the genre and had no experience writing hip-hop tracks.[12]
Aur Pyar Ho Gaya (transl. And Love Happened) is a 1997 Indian Hindi-language romantic drama film directed by Rahul Rawail, starring Bobby Deol and Aishwarya Rai. This film marked Rai's debut in Bollywood.[2] The film's music was composed by Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, who also makes a cameo appearance in the film. He died only a day after the film's release.[3]
Ashi is a free-spirited young woman who was born and raised in a very traditional and conservative Indian family that prefers arranged marriages to love arriages.

As he is established in business, the couple will be residing permanently in Switzerland as Mr. & Mrs. Malhotra.

While she is there, she learns that Rohit is away on an emergency business meeting and nobody can say exactly when he is to return. So Ashi stays in Switzerland for a few months waiting for him, and in the meanwhile she meets a man called Bobby, who is smitten by her beauty and strikes a friendship with her. He soon finds out from her that she is frustrated in her failed attempt to meet Rohit. After a week, Bobby cannot help himself as his heart pines for her. So he disguises himself and meets her as the Rohit she has been waiting for all these months.
Ashi is happy that at last, she gets a chance to meet Rohit before marriage and after a few more weeks, Ashi begins to like this new character. But she then finds out from Rohit's accomplices that Rohit is still on his trip and therefore, Bobby's real identity. This doesn't bother her as she is already in love with Bobby and is ready to move on from Rohit.
Upon their return to India, Ashi explains to her family that she met Bobby instead of Rohit and wants to marry Bobby, not Rohit. Ashi's family are at first, reluctant but after a few weeks, Bobby's family comes with a marriage proposal for Ashi.
In the months leading up to the wedding, Kailashnath is summoned to appear in Court during which Bobby's mother testifies that Kailashnath is one of the perpetrators. Kailashnath immediately and furiously cancels his daughter Ashi's wedding to Bobby. Furthermore, he arranges Ashi's marriage to Rohit. However, after an unexpected reveal, the story ends happily with Ashi marrying her Bobby, and not Rohit.
India Today wrote, "Aur Pyar Ho Gaya is like a Chopra film having a bad day. Missing are the deft storytelling skills and lovely music. Rawail's film, despite the heavyweight brand names (music: Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan) is a laboured love story."[2]

Thank goodness for Netflix! I can get this movie on DVD and watch it at double-speed and finally check it off my Shahrukh list. Without all the pain of actually paying for it, even as an individual rental.
Sushmita is the center of the whole film, which is remarkable all on its own, having an older successful single woman as the heart of the film. She is the center of everyone around her too. Not because she is selfish and self-centered, but because she is so unselfish, if that makes sense? Always trying to use her abilities to improve their lives, giving of herself.
And then we meet our third lead, innocent Punjabi village girl Ishita Sharma. She is all sweetly excited about her groom coming and happy to meet him and all that, even when it becomes clear that they have nothing in common. And then they have a registry marriage, and he leaves immediately, leaving her back there with her aunt and uncle.
"Gaia" is a trip. Literally. Magic mushrooms are involved. Pop a hallucinogenic substance and the world might look something like "Gaia," where, in the Tsitsikamma forest in South Africa, a fungi of monumental proportions proliferates at night, gathering strength, threatening to take over the earth. Throw in a couple of wandering half-human half-mushroom creatures, and you've got yourself a trip and a half. Directed by Jaco Bouwer, "Gaia" has a lot to say about humanity's destruction of the environment, about the "tipping point" we have collectively reached in the Anthropocene, but the film says it with creativity, mad flights of imagination, and even humor. "Gaia" does not feel like homework. It's a thought-provoking and disturbing experience rather than a lecture.
The opening scene is straight out of Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness: two people paddle down a river in a canoe. The river is crowded in on all sides by thick jungly green. It's a lonely sight, often presented from a God's eye view (appropriate since these two people are operating a drone, buzzing above and around them). Winston (Anthony Oseyemi) and Gabi (Monique Rockman) both work for the forestry service, and when their drone disappears in the forest, Gabi decides to get out of the canoe and go find it. Winston warns her of the dangers. Gabi is adamant: the drone is now "trash" and they mustn't leave their trash behind. What is meant to be a quick errand turns instantly into a confusing incoherent nightmare, when Gabi encounters (a nice way to put it) a couple of survivalists: father Barend (Carel Nel) and son Stefan (Alex van Dyk). The two emerge, dirt-covered, rail-thin, wielding hand-made tools, draped in rags, like cavemen of yore. Winston, meanwhile, sets off into the forest to find his colleague. Big mistake.
Getting out of the forest will not be easy. Gabi is sucked into the tense controlling dynamic of father and son. When Gabi, in the process of trying to connect with the wordless Stefan, shows him her cell phone, Barend grabs it and throws it across the room, shouting like an old-time preacher: "Abomination! Devilish!" The three sit down to a meal and Barend intones a prayer to the "Mother of creation and destruction." Outside, the mushrooms are on the move, gigantic endlessly-tentacled figures rustling around behind the characters, mostly seen in a blur (a much scarier choice than seeing them up close and personal). Screenwriter Tertius Kapp gives us a good understanding of how these creatures work, and how Barend and Stefan have figured out how to survive. It's complicated! Gabi learns by watching.
