Mohabbatein () is a 2000 Indian Hindi-language musical romantic drama film written and directed by Aditya Chopra, and produced by Yash Chopra under the banner of Yash Raj Films. The film stars Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai, alongside Uday Chopra, Shamita Shetty, Jugal Hansraj, Kim Sharma, Jimmy Sheirgill, and Preeti Jhangiani. It narrates the story of Narayan Shankar, the authoritarian principal of Gurukul, a prestigious all-boys institution, who strictly forbids romantic relationships. His former student, Raj, returns to the institute as a music teacher, and aids three young students to rebel against Narayan's intolerance of love.

Aditya Chopra had written the script of Mohabbatein before the release of his directorial debut Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995). Principal photography took place primarily in the United Kingdom between October 1999 and July 2000. The music of the film was composed by Jatin–Lalit, with lyrics written by Anand Bakshi.
