Pyar Deewana Hota Hai.

Pyar Deewana Hota Hai was a movie released in 2002 starring Govinda and Rani Mukherjee.

To help people jog their memory, this movie was about a guy named Sunder (Govinda), an uneducated painter from a village, who meets an America returned girl named Payal (Rani) hailing from a rich family.

Despite Payal being out of his league, she gives Sunder time of her day because he "lies" to her by acting like a dumb guy. She befriends Sunder feeling pity on him.

They both fall in love with each other while Sunder continues to act like a guy who can't speak. Later on he feels so guilty about his lie seeing Payal being madly in love with him, that he slices his tongue making himself permanently mute, as a punishment for his betrayal.

The whole movie is kind of below average except that shocking ending which makes it stand out both in a good and bad way. At first it feels like the director only went for such a shocking and sad ending for cheap thrills.

But on a repeat watch, it makes complete sense on why Sunder would take such a drastic step. He didn't lie to Payal deliberately. It was a misunderstanding, which made Payal to think that he can't speak.

He kept that lie going because he didn't want to loose her friendship. There are many Bollywood movies where the hero lies to the heroine to get her love, and in the end she forgives him without making him suffer any consequences.

In this movie, the hero actually suffers the consequences of his lie. So do you think what happened to Sunder, he deserved it?

Because when Payal got to know about Sunder's truth that he could speak, she easily forgives him because of being blindly in love. But Sunder couldn't forgive himself because according to him, he needed to repent for his sin.

I thought you were going to speak about the awesome song by Kishore da...

The ending of this movie was disturbing.

The title song is a BANGER ❤️

I hated that ending! One of the worst endings; very upsetting and completely pointless.

Upsetting yes!!! Pointless? Nope because the alternative ending would've been Payal forgiving Sunder after throwing a fit, which would be nothing new or extraordinary as we have seen that in a dozen of movies.

People always complain about such movies where hero lies to heroine to win her heart and gets forgiven easily after that. Here the hero suffers consequences for his betrayal, which gives out the correct message to not ever lie to your love.

I'm really glad I didn't know this movie existed till I read this post just now.

What a load of crap... to cut your tongue off in the name of love!! How did it make sense to you?

Also, when you do something wrong, you first apologize to the person who has been wronged. A third party doesn't decide the consequences for that person unless it's a legal breach and they're in a court of law. Only the person who's been wronged and God (if you believe in one) decide that. That's the whole purpose of coming clean with the other person -- you're finally letting go of trying to manipulate someone with your lies and letting the other person decide what they want after laying all your cards on the table.

The whole point of telling someone the truth is to accept the outcome of losing them, should they decide that they don't want to associate themselves with you anymore. Taking the matter in your own hands and cutting your tongue off in the name of "punishing" yourself reeks of playing God and wanting to balance your karmic scale all in a day. The guy just couldn't let nature run its course, could he?! Firstly, he lies his way into love cuz he had to win her over and then he cuts his tongue off for lying cuz again, he couldn't relinquish control there either.

The problem isn't that he lies in the movie. The problem is that he was a control freak and didn't know how to live organically.

I agree about the consequences of betrayal but dumping the guy would have been a good enough consequence. He suffered sure but he still got the girl in the end and that's what I meant when I said it was pointless. The makers should have shown that she fell out of love with him due to the betrayal but he punished himself and still had the girl.

If you really think about it, Sundar was a toxic guy till the end. First he propagated a lie and then he self-harmed. How can any woman be okay with being with a man like that who is clearly unstable and unpredictable? Who's to say he won't do something else like that again in the future? On top of that he essentially took away the Payal's agency. It was up to her to decide on forgiveness and his punishment. He took that away from her too which was another very toxic trait. He was in control at all times. Even with his final, drastic step that was supposedly meant to show his remorse, all it did was trapped her further. She would have felt even more compelled to stay with him. Where was her choice?

He definitely remains toxic even after that self-imposed consequence. I haven't watched the movie, so I'm not sure how serious and far-reaching the lie was in there. But I honestly think the girl doesn't even necessarily need to lose feelings for him in the movie to convey the message that lying is wrong. That's such a simple concept that everyone knows and understands but it's human nature to want to put your best face on and try to impress your crush with little white fibs. Him coming to a realization and letting go of her would have been sufficient enough.

Rani has featured in some really whack movies... there's Raja ki aayegi Baraat where she spends the entire movie trying to win over her rapist. And here, the guy literally cuts his tongue off for stretching a lie further than he should have.

Uttam Singh had a cameo

I watched 4 minutes and shut it off 😆
