First love, that unforgettable crush, and a reunion that offers a chance to rewrite the past are at the heart of Pehla Pyaar Doosri Baar. For writer Jehan Handa, the upcoming romantic comedy taps into the possibilities that first love leaves behind. He reflected, “Either you have one-sided love, or you get another chance to revisit the person you went crazy about in school. Sometimes, you may not even have spoken to them. But what if you got that chance again?”
