Will Aap Mujhe Achche Lagne Lage be Hrithik's salvation?

Hrithik Roshan Aap Mujhe Achche Lagne Lage will be an acid test for Hrithik Roshan and Amisha Patel, who are being paired together for first time after their hit debut in 2000.

The film will also be a test for director Vikram Bhatt, who has delivered this year's first hit Raaz and has the duo as the central characters for the first time since Kaho Naa...Pyaar Hai, which brought Hrithik instant stardom.

Critics say that the film is crucial to Hrithik's career as it his first solo hero film since 2000. All of his films since his debut -- Fiza, Mission Kashmir, Yaadein and the hit Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham -- have cast him in the second or third lead.

If AMALL fares well, Bhatt would have the singular honour of being the only filmmaker to have delivered two successes this year.
