Correct answer

The 2005 Salman Khan-Karisma Kapoor starrer is titled Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya, which translates to Why Did I Love. 'Kyun' means why in Hindi, while 'Kaise' (how), 'Kab' (when), 'Kaha' (where), and 'Kitna' (how much) are common Hindi question words that don't fit the context.

Explanation
Karan Arjun is the 1995 blockbuster starring Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan as brothers reincarnated to avenge their deaths. Arjun is a central character from the Mahabharata epic, while Yudhisthir, Bhim, Nakul, and Sahdev were his brothers - none of whom complete this specific movie title.

Hum Saath Saath Hai is a 1999 family drama film. 'Saath' means together in Hindi, which completes the title We Are Together. The other options 'Nau' (nine), 'Aath' (eight), and 'Dus' (ten) are numbers that don't fit this movie name.

-
Darna
-
Ladna
-
Zhagadna
B
Correct answer
Explanation
Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya is a 1998 Salman Khan-S Twinkle Khanna film. The title translates to If You Love, Why Fear, making 'Darna' (to fear) the correct choice. 'Marna' means to die, 'Ladna' means to fight, and 'Zhagadna' appears to be a misspelling of 'Jhagadna' (to quarrel).
D
Correct answer

The 1999 film is titled Hum Aapke Dil Mein Rehte Hain, though this question uses 'Hai' instead of 'Hai'. 'Dil' means heart and completes the title We Live In Your Heart. 'Pados' means neighborhood, 'Ghar' means house, and 'Building' is English - none fit the actual movie title.
B
Correct answer
Explanation
Bees Saal Baad is a 1962 film and a 1989 remake, both titled 20 Years Later. 'Bees' means twenty in Hindi. 'Dus' is ten, 'Tees' is thirty, and 'Chalees' is forty - these numbers don't match the actual movie title.
C
Correct answer
Explanation
Kala Pathar is a 1979 film about coal miners. 'Kala' means black, describing coal. 'Hara' is green, 'Lal' is red, and 'Nila' is blue - these colors don't fit a movie about black coal.
C
Correct answer
Explanation
Do Aur Do Paanch is a comedy about two characters becoming five. 'Do' means two, so the title 2+2=5 represents chaos. 'Teen' is three, 'Char' is four, and 'Saat' is seven - none fit the mathematical pun of this specific title.

-
Meetha
-
Khatta
-
Garam
D
Correct answer
Explanation
Garam Masala is a 2005 comedy. 'Garam' means hot, describing the spicy mix. 'Teekha' is spicy/sharp, 'Meetha' is sweet, and 'Khatta' is sour - these are tastes but don't complete this specific movie title about a hot spice blend.

-
Bewkuf
-
Pagal
-
Yeda
-
Teda
C
Correct answer
Explanation
Dil To Pagal Hai is a 1997 romantic film. The title means The Heart Is Mad, so 'Pagal' (crazy/mad) is correct. 'Sanki' is eccentric, 'Bewkuf' is foolish, 'Yeda' is simple, and 'Teda' is crooked - these are personality traits but not the specific word in this title.
C
