Shah feels like these two movies tell different stories, despite the same premise. 

Was Akele Hum Akele Tum an improvement by giving both male and female leads significance in the story?

The father-son elements were improved upon in Akele Hum Akele Tum.

The Bollywood version has a song plagiarism sub plot, while the movie itself lifted two of its songs from other Western songs.
