Mann (English: Heart) is a 1999 Indian Hindi romantic drama film directed by Indra Kumar. The film stars popular actors Aamir Khan, Manisha Koirala and Anil Kapoor. Rani Mukerji also makes a special appearance in the movie. This is Aamir and Manisha's second movie together after Akele Hum Akele Tum. The film was remade in the same year in Tollywood titled Ravoyi Chandamama starring Akkineni Nagarjuna, Anjala Zhaveri, Keerthi Reddy and Jagapati Babu.
The movie is a remake of old classic Bheegi Raat (1965) starring Ashok Kumar, Meena Kumari and Pradeep Kumar, and is also a frame-by-frame copy of An Affair to Remember.While the plot-twist pre-climax was inspired by the 1976 movie Bayalu Daari , the climax sequence was inspired by the 1983 movie Kaamana Billu.
Dev Karan Singh (Aamir Khan), a casanova and ambitious painter deep in debt, agrees to marry Anita (Deepti Bhatnagar), the daughter of Singhania (Dalip Tahil), a rich tycoon. Priya (Manisha Koirala), a music teacher for children, is engaged to Raj (Anil Kapoor), whom she has agreed to marry because he had helped her when she was in need. Priya and Dev meet on a cruise and fall in love. However, due to them already being engaged to other people, they agree to work everything out and meet in 6 months on Valentine's Day to get married.
