You can't buy love.....

Karobaar is essentially about a couple which in this case is Juhi Chawla and Rishi Kapoor. The two of them struggle on with their lives with the little money that they have. All of that changes when Anil Kapoor, a very rich and wealthy man steps in. He gets between the two of them and tries to win over Juhi no matter how much money it takes. The basic message of this film is "You can't buy love." Love doesn't have a price, it is based on the matters of relationships and all that stuff.

The movie was fairly good, though I did expect it to be a little better. All characters played their roles well and the music was pretty nice too. It's not really the kind of film you'd want to watch multiple times, but it did entertain me for about three hours! I couldn't ask for more than that!

Overall, Karobaar deserves a 5/10!
