Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin

Pooja Dharamchand is the daughter of a rich Bombay shipping tycoon, Seth Dharamchand. She is head-over-heels in love with movie star Deepak Kumar, but her father strongly disapproves of their courtship. One night, Pooja escapes from her father's yacht and hops onto a bus to Bangalore to be with Deepak, who is shooting for a film there. Seth Dharamchand, realizing his daughter has run away, advertises a reward for anyone who can find Pooja. Aboard the bus, Pooja meets Raghu Jaitley, a loud-mouthed journalist who has just lost his job. He offers to help her in exchange for an exclusive story on her, which would revive his flagging career. Pooja is forced to agree to his demands, as he threatens to let her father know of her whereabouts should she not comply. After both of them happen to miss the bus, Raghu and Pooja go through various adventures together and find themselves falling in love with one another. Raghu desires to marry Pooja, but knows that financially he is in no shape to do so. He leaves Pooja temporarily intending to ask his boss for money so that he can ask her to marry him. Pooja also falls for Raghu and she decides to be with him, but she misses his note and thinks he has abandoned her. She calls it quits, returns home, and prepares to marry Deepak. Her father learns about Raghu when Raghu comes to him asking for the money he spent on Pooja trying to get her to Bangalore. Seth Dharamchand realizes that Raghu took care of Pooja during the trip and asks Raghu if he is in love with her. Raghu admits he is. Pooja is initially angry thinking that Raghu came forward to claim the reward money. However, her father reveals the true purpose of Raghu's visit and tells her that Raghu loves her. Pooja runs away from the marriage hall with her father's support to reunite with Raghu. == Cast ==
