Wikipedia article
'Kuch Khatti Kuch Meethi' 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', 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'. The rights to this film are owned by Shah Rukh Khan's Red Chillies Entertainment.https://www.rediff.com/movies/2001/jan/19khatti.htm
