Prem Ratan Dhan Payo

Prem Ratan Dhan Payo (translation: Received a treasure called love) is an Indian family drama film, written and directed by Sooraj Barjatya, produced by Rajshri Productions and distributed by Fox Star Studios. It stars Salman Khan and Sonam Kapoor in lead roles.

The film has Salman Khan as Prem / Vijay, Sonam Kapoor as Maithili, Neil Nitin Mukesh as Niranjan, Anupam Kher as Diwan, Armaan Kohli as Chirag, Swara Bhaskar as Prem's sister, Aashika Bhatia as Prem's sister, Deepak Dobriyal as Kanhaiya and Sanjay Mishra.

The songs featured in the film have been composed by Himesh Reshammiya with lyrics by Irshad Kamil and features 10 songs in the album. Sanjoy Chowdhury has composed the original background score, while Himesh Reshammiya too has been credited for the themes based on his songs. The film has songs like "Prem Leela" sung by Aman Trikha, "Prem Ratan Dhan Payo" by Palak Muchhal, "Jalte Diye" by Harshdeep Kaur, Shabab Sabri and Anweshaa, "Aaj Unse Milna Hai" by Shaan, "Jab Tum Chaho" by Mohammed Irfan, Palak Muchhal and Darshan Raval, "Halo Re" by Aman Trikha, "Tod Tadaiyya" by Neeraj Shridhar and Neeti Mohan, "Bachpan Kahan" by Himesh Reshammiya, "Murli Ki Taanon Si" by Shaan and "Aaj Unse Kehna Hai" by Shaan, Palak Muchhal and Aishwarya Majumdar.

The movie has an interesting story. Prem Dilwala, is a simpleton who earns his living by working in Ramleela, a stage performance which tells the story of Hindu Lord Ram. Whatever little he earns he donates it to a charitable fund. The fund is handled by princess Maithali played by Sonam Kapoor. Prem is spellbound by the nature of Maithali and wishes to meet her.

Parallely, Salman Khan plays the role of a royal prince Vijay, who is born with riches and power. Vijay’s brothers (played by actors Neil Nitin Mukesh and Armaan Kohli) wish to steal his position while his sister (played by Swara Bhaskar) stands by him throughout.

Prem starts on a quest to meet Maithali and he gets caught up in a cobweb of family drama. He has to make himself acceptable in the royal society and meanwhile also save his relationship with Maithali. 

It is worth watching how Prem manages to win hearts and keep his lady love by his side.
