Love Ke Liye Kuch Bhi Karega () is a 2001 Indian Hindi-language crime comedy film directed by Eeshwar Nivas and produced by Ram Gopal Varma and Nitin Manmohan. The film stars Saif Ali Khan, Fardeen Khan, Sonali Bendre, Twinkle Khanna, Aftab Shivdasani and Johnny Lever in lead roles. The film marked Twinkle Khanna's final acting performance, prior to her marriage and subsequent retirement from the industry.

The film is an official remake of the 1993 Telugu film Money. It was released on 29 June 2001 and unlike the original version, the Hindi remake received mixed reviews and eventually became a box-office bomb. The film is said to be partly based on the American black comedy Fargo. Paresh Rawal, who acted as the female lead's husband in the original Telugu film, plays the narrator in the Hindi remake.

Plot

A troubled young man, Prakash, is married to Sapna, who is an artist and the only daughter of a wealthy business tycoon, Rajiv Chopra, and Prakash is his son-in-law. Rajiv Chopra hates Prakash and often troubles him. Tired of being troubled and insulted by Chopra, Prakash plans to have Sapna kidnapped to make his father-in-law feel the way he does. He hires two broke strugglers, Rahul and Harry, who are to be fake kidnappers and kidnap Sapna. Rahul is an unemployed graduate who is seeking employment and is in love with Anjali, the daughter of his landlord, Dakshina Murthi. Murthi makes a condition to let Anjali marry Rahul if he finds a job in one month and pays all his overdue rents. If not, he would make Anjali marry someone else who has a good job. This prompts hopeless and vulnerable Rahul and his roommate Harry to join the fake kidnapping scheme.

The plan succeeds, and Chopra is deceived. Rahul and Harry demand Rs.1 1 crore as ransom money, and the fooled Chopra agrees to pay. As the ransom money has been paid, Rahul and Harry set Sapna free and leave her in a forest, which is also part of Prakash's plan. Prakash arrives at the forest to pick up Sapna; however, he realizes that she has been kidnapped again, but this time by real kidnappers. This crime caper soon turns into one hilarious joy ride!

Reception

Sukanya Verma of Rediff.com opined that the film was "mostly watchable for its bubbling enthusiasm and, of course, Aslambhai". Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama found the film "engaging, but in parts". He was of the view that the film's comedy was similar to that seen in Basu Chatterjee's films and both the actresses; Khanna and Bendre lacked "enough scope" for acting. Amaresh Misra of Outlook stated that Khanna and Bendre had been "wasted" in the film, which lacked of "innovative screenplay".
