'''''Kuch Khatti Kuch Meethi''''' ({{trans|''A Little Sour, A Little Sweet''}}) is a 2001 Indian film directed by [[Rahul Rawail]] and starring [[Kajol]] in a double role as two estranged identical twins. The storyline follows the general theme of its 1961 Hollywood counterpart ''[[The Parent Trap (1961 film)|The Parent Trap]]'', which is based on the 1949 novel ''[[Lisa and Lottie]]'', but with the added melodrama and slight-changed storyline of a [[Bollywood]] movie. The film also stars [[Sunil Shetty]], [[Rishi Kapoor]], [[Rati Agnihotri]] and [[Pooja Batra]]. This is the second time that Kajol played a dual role after ''[[Dushman (1998 film)|Dushman]]''. The rights to this film are owned by Shah Rukh Khan's [[Red Chillies Entertainment]].<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/movie/kuch-khatti-kuch-meethi/critic-review/kuch-khatti-kuch-meethi-movie-review/ | title=Kuch Khatti Kuch Meethi Review 2/5 | Kuch Khatti Kuch Meethi Movie Review | Kuch Khatti Kuch Meethi 2001 Public Review | Film Review }}</ref><ref>https://www.rediff.com/movies/2001/jan/19khatti.htm {{Bare URL inline|date=May 2022}}</ref>
