Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai turns 26 today, and I clearly remember this week in 2000. The word was out on the streets. Something along the lines of a “dhamakedaar” new hero’s film was playing in theatres. I was living in Kerala then, and it felt all the more surreal. To this day, I haven’t seen or heard such hype for a debutant. Not even for the sons of Mammootty or Mohanlal. But I heard it for a Bollywood newcomer. Over the years, I’ve noticed an unusual hype around Hrithik Roshan films in my state.
