Aarzoo is a Bollywood film released in 1999. The movie directed by Lawrence D'Souza stars Madhuri Dixit, Akshay Kumar, Saif Ali Khan, Amrish Puri, Paresh Rawal and Reema Lagoo. The film was primarily filmed in Mumbai but some scenes were filmed in London and Edinburgh.
Dayashankar (Amrish Puri) is a wealthy NRI living in London. His daughter Pooja (Madhuri Dixit) is the apple of his eye and his life revolves around her and his wife Parvati (Reema Lagoo). Dayashankar also takes care of his deceased friend's son Amar (Saif Ali Khan). Amar and Pooja have grown up with each other and he has fallen in love with her over time. Studying in Edinburgh, he is overjoyed when he is called to come stay with the family in London. He eagerly prepares for his meeting with Pooja and plans to ask her father for her hand in marriage.
However, Pooja has fallen in love with Vijay Khanna (Akshay Kumar), a pilot. Her father, though, is bitterly opposed with their intention of marriage, as he has already promised Amar that he will marry Pooja. After some convincing from Amar and Parvati, Dayashankar succumbs to his daughter's wishes. Amar is heartbroken but puts on a brave face at the engagement. However tragedy strikes when Vijay is killed while piloting a plane.
Pooja goes into depression and finds out she is pregnant with Vijay's child. Her father convinces her to marry Amar, who willingly accepts her and becomes the father to her child. Pooja gives birth to a healthy boy and maintains a friendly relationship with her now-husband, Amar. When Pooja realises that Amar has always loved her, she begins to love him too.
