Kapoor received a Best Supporting Actress nomination at the 4th IIFA Awards for her performance in the film.
Plot[edit]
Young Pooja Sahani (Rani Mukerji), Raj Khanna (Hrithik Roshan) and Tina Kapoor (Kareena Kapoor) are childhood friends. While Raj has always been attracted to the vivacious and beautiful Tina, he is completely unaware of the quiet Pooja's love for him.
Raj's father (Kiran Kumar) decides to move to England with his family to take up a new job. Before leaving, Raj makes Tina promise to write to him via e-mail. Tina, a fun-loving and popular girl, soon becomes occupied with other things. Meanwhile Pooja writes to Raj asking about his days in London but instead of her name she signs as Tina, thinking that a letter from Tina will surely bring his reply and also to help Tina keep her promise. While exchanging e-mails, Raj and Pooja realize they have many things in common, and their e-mails bring them close to each other. A decade and a half later, Raj returns to India for a short vacation. By now, he's in love with the girl he has been writing to and believes he can recognize her at first sight. He states that his love for Tina is enough for him to pick her from any crowd so they never exchange any photographs whatsoever.
When the three of them finally meet, Raj, to simple girl-next-door Pooja's disappointment, completely ignores her and is smitten by the typically beautiful Tina, who is initially unsure but slowly becomes attracted to him. However, during the two weeks of his vacation, he cannot help but notice that the real Tina is completely different from the Tina he knew from the e-mails. He also starts a friendship with Pooja and is impressed by their common interests, without realizing she is the one he is really in love with. Tina, despite of being well aware of the fact that she is not the one who Raj has been talking to over the last 15 years, cannot resist herself from reciprocating Raj's continuous flirt and ends up falling in love with him. By the end of Raj's 2 weeks trip to India, their parents see their blooming love and gladly announces the engagement of Raj and Tina. Heartbroken, yet happy for her best friends, Pooja decides to never disclose the secret.
Raj returns to London, where Pooja coincidentally arrives for an interview. Raj takes Pooja to a church that he frequently visits and finds her accidentally humming the tune of a song he wrote to her about years ago. He realises that Pooja is the one who had been writing to him all those years since he shared the information about the church and the song in the e-mails. They discover their love for each other and decide to get married. Back in India, Tina's father (Sachin Khedekar) suddenly dies, leaving Tina alone in the world as an orphan. His last wish was that Tina would marry Raj, and Pooja's parents say that they will perform all the rituals as Tina's parents.
Knowing that Tina also has feelings for Raj and she is now alone, Pooja refuses to marry Raj, as she does not want to break Tina's heart. Raj's parents also agree to the marriage, unaware of the relationship between Raj and Pooja that developed in London. Raj insists on telling his parents the truth but Pooja stops him. He angrily vows to her that he will only marry Tina if Pooja marries someone else on the same day. Everyone comes to London for the wedding ceremony of Tina and Raj.
In London, Rohan Verma (Uday Chopra) is a friend of Raj's who has always been attracted to Pooja. After constant flirting of Rohan and ultimatum from Raj, Pooja bows to the inevitable and agrees to marry Rohan on the same day as Raj and Tina. That way, she hopes to satisfy Raj's condition and ensure Tina's happiness. Rohan realises that Pooja does not love him, but keeps up the charade nevertheless. On the day of the marriage, Tina realises that Raj is really in love with Pooja, as she sees Raj's ancestral bracelet with Pooja, she changes from her wedding attire to simple clothes. At the altar, Raj knocks over the pot of wedding vermilion by mistake, some of which falls into Pooja's hair, which is traditionally a sign of marriage. Just as Pooja is about to wipe it off, Tina stops her, saying that she is not alone and is glad to have such great friends willing to sacrifice their love for her. Pooja approaches Rohan to apologise, but he is not at all angry. He is glad to have made new friends. The movie ends with Pooja and Raj getting married.

Why Hrithik is a heartthrob! Revealed in Mujhse Dosti Karoge |

Sukanya Verma
Love means never having to say... Fullstop. No sorry, no thank you. Even though the two lead protagonists of Mujhse Dosti Karoge are shown to be great admirers of Eric Segal's timeless romantic novel Love Story, they insist on putting a lid on their feelings till the predictable climax makes its way.
Is Yash Raj Film's new offering worth a watch? Perhaps, if you enjoy déjà vus, Mujhse Dosti Karoge is just what the doctor ordered.
Set in Shimla, Mujhse Dosti Karoge revolves around three vivacious youngsters --- Raj, Pooja and Tina (Hrithik Roshan, Rani Mukherji, Kareena Kapoor). Raj has long harbored feelings for Tina, while Pooja plays clichéd good friend.
While leaving for London along with his family (Kiran Kumar, Smita Jayakar) Raj promises to e-mail Tina. When the hoity-toity Tina pleads indifference to his fervent mails, good friend Pooja steps in and corresponds as Tina.
Fast forward 16 years. Tina and Pooja have blossomed into fine ladies. But if Pooja is the boring plain Jane who sticks to books and computers, Tina is a sexy Barbie doll.
Meanwhile, dreamboat Raj declares he is coming to India. Pooja takes Tina in confidence and convinces her to play along. Obviously Raj doesn't care much for the 'beauty lies within' crap. He falls for hot babe Tina who he believes wrote those soulful e-mails all those years. And Pooja goes through the sacrifice routine, misty eyes, lovelorn sighs.
Raj miraculously realises it was Pooja and not Tina who wrote all those letters. It takes precisely five seconds for Raj to do an about-face and declare his love to Pooja!

A round of uh-huhs later, Pooja concedes. Now, Tina loses her father (Sachin Khedekar). Pooja insists on sacrificing her love for friendship and forces Raj to go to Tina.
Raj and Tina are engaged immediately. However Raj vows he will not tie the knot unless Pooja marries someone else. That someone else is a special appearance on the lines of Akshay Kumar (Dil Toh Pagal Hai), Salman Khan (Kuch Kuch Hota Hai) and Bipasha Basu (Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai).
Who eventually sacrifices? Who gets Raj? Do you really want to know? More important, do you think it takes rocket science to figure that out?

Aimed at the teenyboppers, Mujhse Dosti Karoge makes for mush entertainment. Love and friendship are much repeated emotions in Hindi cinema. Mujhse Dosti Karoge borrows its title from the classic line uttered by Dimple Kapadia in the youthful love story Bobby.
Shah Rukh Khan's concept of Pyar dosti hai (Love is friendship) in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai is strengthened by Rani Mukherji's Dosti hi har rishtey ki shuruat hai (Friendship is the stepping stone for any relationship) here.
Also the beaten to death quote from Maine Pyar Kiya: Dosti ki hai nibhani toh padegi is present here, too. Speaking of Sooraj Barjatya's blockbuster, the popular antakshari idea is introduced here, too. In fact the medley sequence is one of the most enjoyable moments in Mujhse Dosti Karoge.
Kunal Kohli's directorial debut takes mild inspiration from Michael Lehmann's The Truth About Cats & Dogs (Ben Chaplin, Uma Thurman, Janeane Garofalo), where Garofalo impersonates Thurman to win over Chaplin. The premise of the original was insecurity about one's appearance. Mujhse Dosti Karoge treads on 'looks' superficially.
First-time director Kohli is impressive. He keeps a tight grip of the plot and displays a keen attention to screenplay. Every character in the film is well defined and sound. The film moves at a brisk pace and the audience is not left to pinpoint loopholes.
Another debutante Rahul Sharma's score is decent. Jane dil main kabse hai tu is by far the best of the lot. In tandem with the vibrant nature of the film is the camerawork by Gopal Shah. Manali, the northern Indian hillstation, and London wear a glossy look.
One may recall watching Hrithik Roshan play the reluctant sacrificial lamb in Subhash Ghai's Yaadein. In Mujhse Dosti Karoge, he does the same with renewed enthusiasm. He is competent and impresses with his dancing skills. Anyone who feels Roshan Jr has lost his hold on the audience needs to watch this film. The audience's excited whistles and claps at practically all his scenes is proof enough.

Kareena Kapoor is inconsistent. The actress looks ravishing in every frame, but she repeats her smug Poo act (Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham) to an annoying effect here. She does show some flair for comedy in the second half.

Mujhse Dosti Karoge mainly revolves around Rani Mukherji. Barring her strained dialogue delivery, Mukherji delivers a dignified performance.
Nonetheless, Hrithik Roshan steals the show from the two petite ladies.
