The film tells the history of three friends graduating from college and transitioning into life as adults. Each person has a dissimilar view of living and beloved in particular.

Akash (Aamir Khan) does not think in love, so he does not keep girlfriends for more than two weeks.

Sameer (Saif Ali Khan) is a genial, well-meaning, desperately romantic but confused guy who is prone to romantic infatuations and believes to get found true love whenever he gets attracted to a girl.

Siddharth (Akshaye Khanna), or Sid, an artist by profession and the most age of the three, is not concerned in trivial romances and is consecrated to his work.

Akash, who is not merely a cad in his personal life (breaking hearts, proposing to a daughter named Shalini (Preity Zinta) in jest) but likewise a mischief-maker in his friends’ lives, craftily engineers a separation between Sameer and his girlfriend. He then plans a vacation trip to the beaches of Goa.
Sameer predictably “falls in bed” in Goa with a pretty Swiss girl, a level that ends in disaster. He returns home to witness that his parents have ordered a meeting with a possible marriage prospect. He resists at first as he does not require an arranged marriage, but the second he sees the girl, Pooja (Sonali Kulkarni), he realises that she is ‘the one’. Unfortunately, she is already in a kinship with somebody else and Sameer has to be contented with but being her friend.
Sid, in the meantime, befriends and finally falls in bed with Tara (Dimple Kapadia), an older divorcee and alcoholic, who had moved into a nearby house and shares his beloved for art. He decides to continue it from her, suppressing all hopes of a relationship as he knows that she, like about other mass in society, would think this scandalous. When his house and friends start finding out, everything goes wrong. Sid’s mother is horrified and wrongly accuses Tara of having led Sid on. Akash makes fun of Sid’s true intentions and his offensive remarks create a break in their friendship. Tara hears that Sid has quarrelled with friends and family because of her and feel that she has finished his life, refuses to see him.
Akash, on the other hand, is also experiencing romantic upheaval. His parents send him to Sydney, Australia to play for the home business. On the flight, he meets Shalini again. He apologises for his earlier prank and asks her to read him about the new city. Even though Shalini is busy to marry someone else, she finds herself agreeing and they both, eventually, start to find a certain “something”. She tries to get out how he feels, but he holds back. She then leaves for India to marry Rohit, her fiancé. Akash lets her go, then realizes that he can’t survive without her and returns to India to win her back. He proposes to her a day before her marriage and she accepts with the boon of Rohit’s parents.

This picture is another loaded to me by my wonderful boyfriend. I knew as shortly as he handed me the DVD that I would love it because he has wonderful taste (he chose me, didn’t he?). The three guys in this picture are all drop-dead handsome, each with different talents and beauty. Their acting and growing as a case is brilliant and they show three of the ways men in seeking love behave. The cad, the romantic and the afraid-to-love.

The picture is set in Bombay and Goa as good as in Sydney. Although, I would hate to get paid the taxi fare and diminished the sentence it would have interpreted to get from classic-Sydney shot to classic-Sydney shot. And I wish to bring in Sameer’s office with the Harbour Bridge, Luna Park and Opera House all framed in his window.

Did I love this movie? Yes, I did. I know a serious romance and this picture has three important romances. I didn’t cry, although the sad bit was really moving. Given that all the characters were from rich, upper-middle class families, I shouldn’t have had a lot in common with them, but in fact I did. I have met guys like all 3 of these men. If I were to pigeon-hole myself I would bear to say I am more like Sid but like I was more like Sameer. I am nothing like Akash, as my boy friend would attest.
The picture moved along at a respectable pace even though it was a 3 hour film, the scene was beautiful (I love India as often as I love Sydney), and the camera work was excellent.

What did I not enjoy about the picture? At 180 minutes it was very long, but so it did be the romances of three guys, and each guy had adequate time billing. The girls were very beautiful but their characters were not very developed, apart from Tara, and the others seemed but too slow to hang in and out of love. But I reckon the picture is near the guys and not really about the girls.

Would I see this movie again? Yes, and likely more than once. It did not accept the affect that Rang de Basanti had on me and I remember no other film ever will (besides Dil Chahta Hai is a butterfly and Rang de Basanti is a powerful movie about friendship, courage and sacrifice). Both movies are about love, very much. I am a man broad of love, love that has been recently awoken just over six months ago. So these movies both get so often to say to me.
