Mohabbatein (transl. Romances) is a 2000 Indian Hindi-language musical romantic drama film written and directed by Aditya Chopra and produced by Yash Chopra under his banner Yash Raj Films. The film stars Amitabh Bachchan with Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai alongside newcomers Uday Chopra, Shamita Shetty, Jugal Hansraj, Kim Sharma, Jimmy Sheirgill, and Preeti Jhangiani, and narrates the story of Narayan, the strict principal of Gurukul college whose daughter, Megha, commits suicide after he opposes her relationship with his student, Raj, who returns as a music teacher at the college to aid three young students rebel against Narayan's intolerance of love.

Originally planned to be Aditya Chopra's directorial debut, Mohabbatein became his second film after Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995). Its themes were inspired by those from the 1989 American coming-of-age drama Dead Poets Society. The principal photography of Mohabbatein, which was filmed in the United Kingdom, was handled by Manmohan Singh between October 1999 and July 2000. Sharmishta Roy and Karan Johar built the sets and designed the costumes, respectively. The duo Jatin–Lalit composed its music while Anand Bakshi wrote the lyrics.

Released on 27 October 2000, Mohabbatein received widespread critical acclaim, with Bachchan and Khan's performances garnering the most praise. With a worldwide gross of 90 crore (US$20.03 million), the film emerged as a major commercial success at the box-office, ranking as the highest-grossing Indian film of the year. In addition to this, it received four Filmfare Awards, three Bollywood Movie Awards, four International Indian Film Academy Awards, one Screen Award, five Sansui Viewers' Choice Movie Awards, and two Zee Cine Awards.
