Goofs:

Anachronisms: The movie, set in 2002 shows that Raj and his family left India 10 years ago in 1992, a time when the World Wide Web was not available in India, but right away from that moment, Pooja promises Raj on contacting through e-mail and starts doing it right away.

Movie Connections:

Referenced in Tere Naam (2003)

Heart warming

Usually I'm the first to criticise Indian movies for their lack of storyline, songs & attempts to rip of most films from English/European speaking backgrounds. However this movie pleasantly surprised me, finally a movie that actually made sense (although a lil' predictable) about the connection between love and marrying your soulmate. Hrithik Roshan is convincing as the heart torn Raj & Rani Mukherjee definitely is fantastic as the best friend/soulmate Pooja. I think the purpose of Kareena Kapoor was to show some skin and that Indians have some style. Well too be honest I highly doubt that other Indians would seriously walk around in skimpy clothing without first being burnt at the stake!

There was chemistry between Hrithik & Rani which made the storyline more convincing, and you truly felt for them right up til' the very end of the movie.

One huge flaw- Stop using the names Raj/Tina/Pooja, don't Indians have any other names?
