Synopsis

Although Karan and Kishan have been friends for years, they have grown apart and have little in common. The widower Karan is a poor mechanic who lives in a humble house in the country. Kishan is a rich man with a vast business empire with little time for old friends. However, when Karan prepares to work abroad and earn more money, he turns to Kishan to solve a problem. Will Kishan let Karan's daughter Suman (Bhagyashree) stay at his house? Kishan cannot turn down his old friend's request and Suman comes to live with Kishan's family.

At first country girl Suman is ill at ease in the huge mansion. She is befriended by Kishan's son Prem (Salman Khan), who assures her that he has no romantic interest in her and that a boy and a girl can be platonic friends. The pair share outings and confidences and all seems to be going well.

Then Prem takes Suman to a party put on by some of his rich friends. They humiliate Suman and accuse her of scheming to marry Prem. Suman leaves in tears and distances herself from Prem. At that point, Prem suddenly realizes that he has fallen in love with her. With aid of his mother (who likes the unassuming Suman) and his comic friend Manohar, Prem sets out to win Suman's heart.

He succeeds, but their romance is balked by Prem's father Kishan, who does not want his son to marry a poor nobody. He prepares to send Suman home in disgrace. At this unpropitious moment, Karan returns from overseas. Kishan accuses him of plotting to match Prem and Suman. Karan and Kishan quarrel; Karan and Suman then return to their village humiliated.

Prem refuses to accept the separation. He defies his father and is disinherited. He goes to Suman's village and begs to be allowed to marry her. Karan, angered by Kishan's accusations, says that he will allow the marriage on one condition: Prem must prove that he can support a wife by his own efforts.

Karan, meanwhile, takes back Suman home and the daughter sulks till Prem acts as a rescuer. But since Prem is now disinherited, Karan puts forward the condition that Prem should earn two thousand rupees within a month to prove that he can take care of Suman. Prem then works as a truck driver and laborer. At the end of the month, while Prem is ready with the required money and comes to win the heart of his lady's father, This melts Karan's heart, and he agrees to letting Suman marry Prem. By the end of the movie, the estrangement between Karan and Kishan ends too.

Prem and Suman live happily ever after.

The Maine Pyar Kiya soundtrack was very successful in India. Suman's role was sung by the famous playback singer Lata Mangeshkar; S. P. Balasubrahmanyam sang for Prem. Folk singer Sharda Sinha has also sung in the film on "Kahe Toh Se Sajna".

The opening track, "Aate Jaate", is said to have been inspired by Stevie Wonder's 1984 single, "I Just Called to Say I Love You", while the whistling and humming interludes in "Aaya Mausam Dosti Ka" used the hook from Baltimora's hit, "Tarzan Boy". "Mere Rang Mein Rangne Wali" was directly taken from Swedish rock band Europe's 1986 single, "The Final Countdown" and theme from Love Story, "Where Do I Begin". The track "Antakshri" was a medley of various Bollywood songs based on the Antakshari game, which was popularized with this film's release. The remaining tracks, including the popular "Dil Deewana", were original compositions.
