Karan (Saif Ali Khan) is traveling to America. On the way, he sits next to a pretty lady, Rhea (Rani Mukerji) and incessantly pushes her to pay attention to him. And, during their stopover in Amsterdam, he convinces her (I have no idea how) to explore the town with him*. Several months later, they meet up in New York City and it does not go well. Three years later, they meet...at her wedding. Now this certainly SEEMS as if it's the end for this potential couple, right?
Karan is a man-child. Although chronologically an adult, he still needs to grow up. His attitude towards women is abominable and additionally he's rude, kind of creepy and is stuck on himself. How can filmmakers possibly take such a thoroughly unlikable guy and put him in a romantic comedy?! While it's obvious some could accept his boorish behaviors, as the film has a respectable score of 7.1, it completely ruined the movie for me. I hated his character and just wanted to see him hit by a bus! As for Rhea she seemed smart through most of the movie and wasn't the least bit dazzled by this shallow jerk. So why, then, have this seemingly smart girl eventually fall for him?! Sure, it took years...but why other than the fact that this is the formula for a rom-com . What is not formula is making the couple so different and the guy so unlikable that you don't even care what happens by the end of the film.
Aside from the cute animated sequences, there just isn't anything to recommend this film. With thousands of better Indian films out there, I suggest you try something else.
