Kuch Khatti Kuch Meethi (transl. A Little Sour, A Little Sweet) is a 2001 Indian film directed by Rahul Rawail and starring Kajol in a double role as two estranged identical twins. The storyline follows the general theme of its 1961 Hollywood counterpart The Parent Trap, which is based on the 1949 novel Lisa and Lottie, but with the added melodrama and slight-changed storyline of a Bollywood movie. The film also stars Sunil Shetty, Rishi Kapoor, Rati Agnihotri and Pooja Batra. This is the second time that Kajol played a dual role after Dushman. The rights to this film are owned by Shah Rukh Khan's Red Chillies Entertainment.[3][4]
Plot[edit]
Raj Khanna (Rishi Kapoor) is a wealthy and eligible businessman who is married to Archana (Rati Agnihotri). Since Raj’s evil step sister Devyani (Mita Vashishth) wants his wealth, she informs Raj that his wife is having an affair with another person. They both decide to separate. Shortly before separating she gives birth to twins, one of which is taken away from her and given to Raj. Sweety (Kajol) grows up with her father. On the other hand Archana shifts to London with the other twin named Tina (Kajol). Sweety refuses to marry the man of her father’s choice and runs away to London. The twins meet through a series of coincidences and decides to switch places. Both the twin sisters decide to reunite their family again. When Tina meets Raj she finds out that he is having an affair with Savitri (Pooja Batra). Tina’s boyfriend Samir (Sunil Shetty) also helps both the twins to unite their parents. In the end Raj and Archana finally meet and they consider living together again.
