Plot

Karan is the son of Lakshmi and Dharam. His father is a professional robber, so his mother leaves him to raise Karan and his sister Kiran in dignity. However, when Karan comes of age, he supports his father's nocturnal adventures and becomes a successful burglar.

In college, he falls in love with Priya, the daughter of the wealthy Somnath Arya. Since he is a burglar, he does not dare to tell Priya about his love—however, he tells Sandwich, his loyal friend. Priya is also in love with Karan but doesn't tell him because she is shy, despite her best friend Nikki's attempts to match the two of them, and things get difficult for her when Sonia (Nilofer) joins the college, who is extremely good-looking and tries to woo Karan. However, at a party, Karan finally admits his feelings for Priya, and she is beyond happy. He tells his father that the robbery at a diamond exhibition will be his last deed, since they want to donate the money out of it to a cancer hospital.

Things get difficult when CBI officer Arjun Singh announces that he will catch Karan in just ten days. During the robbery, Arjun Singh shows up, Dharam gets shot, and Karan is caught; he is sent to jail for one year.

Critical reception

Taran Adarsh of IndiaFM gave the film 1 out of 5, writing ″Amit Hingorani radiates sincerity and the boy does a decent job considering his debut film. He is at ease in stunts and dances, but needs to work on emotional and dramatic sequences. Sharbani Mukherji looks pretty and does her part ably. Both Dharmendra and Sunny Deol are wasted. In fact, Sunny's fans will be disappointed to see the actor in a minuscule role. Farida Jalal is mechanical. Alok Nath is getting typecast. Shakti Kapoor and Johny Lever look disinterested. On the whole, KAISE KAHOON KE PYAAR HAI is a poor fare.″ Deepa Gumaste of Rediff.com wrote ″With each successive reel, the story takes a new and bizarre twist, thereby keeping you guessing about what more to expect from director Anil Kumaar Sharma (who is not to be mistaken for the maker of Gadar and The Hero: Love Story Of A Spy). ″Honestly, what can you say about the finer details of this cinematic blunder of Titanic proportions?″
