Love In Simla is a 1960 romantic Indian Hindi film, produced by Sashadhar Mukherjee and his Filmalaya production house. Directed by R.K. Nayyar, the film had the producer's son, Joy Mukherjee, in the lead. The actress Sadhana made her Hindi movie lead debut in the film and became a star. The film also starred Azra, Shobhana Samarth and Durga Khote. The film was a light musical with humour as well as slapstick comedy. It became a hit at the box office. The film is a part of the Love in trilogy. The film's success set up the lead pair's success in the 1960s and led to the making of Love in Tokyo also starring Joy Mukherjee. Film is a remake of the English film Jane Steps Out (1938)

After the untimely death of her father and step-mother, Sonia is orphaned and lives with her aunt and paternal uncle (Mr.and Mrs.General Rajpal Singh). Sonia is plain-looking as her real mother, and often invites unappreciative, taunts, and critical remarks from her aunt and cousin, Sheela. Sheela has a boyfriend, Dev Kumar Mehra, and she plans to marry him. Fed-up of hearing frequent taunts and adverse remarks about her plain-looks, Sonia challenges Sheela that she will make Dev fall in love with her.
