Wildly improbable and unconvincingly plotted tale of a ladykiller who comes to realize the emotional pain he caused and so embarks on a course of guilt ridden penance with the three ladies concerned.
Something of a time travel movie in the hero wanting to revisit past relationships and mend the hurt he produced. The odd thing about this movie is that the women are stuck in the bitter and resentful past – unable to fully get over their love for him until he reappears in their lives. This suggests female dependency - not love - and is the film's essential flaw. It does not define love and so remains profoundly superficial.
The male lead is unusually blank for a Bollywood movie and arouses little empathy. The girls are, as always, very pretty; leaving one to wonder why they would fall for such an anodyne personality.
