Vikram and Sneha come close to each other. Karan feels threatened by it and tries to separate them. Eventually, because of a misunderstanding Vikram and Sneha stop seeing each other. Karan takes advantage of the situation and gradually wins Sneha’s heart. On the engagement ceremony of Karan and Sneha Vikram appears and reveals what really went wrong.   

Aashiq Banaya Aapne is a typical Hindi commercial movie. There is nothing very special of the story. Even some portion of the story has been taken from Hollywood movie (most probably O). The way Karan tries to separate Sneha and Vikram reminds me of “Iago,” the villain in Shakespeare’s tragedy drama Othello. Overall, the movie fails to be appreciated by the audience. Glamsham reports:

The narrative goes astray on too many occasions to enumerate. Sadly there are only three characters in the film, not counting the walk-on parts by characters (e.g Navin Nishchol as the heroine’s visiting father) who seem to have been invited just to flesh out the skeletal triangle.

Himesh Reshammiya’s songs are welcome breaks, though they add nothing to the sinking progression of the wobbly narration.

About 80 percent into the narration, the director - seriously debilitated by the absence of conviction and inner logic - gets mired into a series of absurdities. Suddenly, as it were, the Good Boy turns out to be the Bad Boy, leaving the girl between them as confused as we are.

“Why me?” she sobs to the Good Boy (before he turns bad).

Why us? We ask ourselves more than once as the narration cuts across all our conviction to serve up a picture that’s as patchy as finger-painting done by a 5-year old unruly kid in kindergarten.

The three performers vie with another for rolling their eyes and doing smirky somersaults with their facial muscles. Debutante Tanushree Dutta could possibly fare better if given better material. Here she struts around in a college campus in brief dresses bending down to retrieve fallen books for a generous view of her cleavage. That’s as revealing as her performing abilities get.

Himesh Reshamiya’s music was also very good but it did not help the movie much.
