2000s, especially the later half, saw emergence of the romcom genre in Bollywood. Towards the end of 2000s, we were almost inundated with many of these to the point that most viewers were tired of it. So when I saw this one a couple of years ago, my expectations were minimal to zero. I watched it while working on computer, something in the background. I did not care to watch it until it came out on DVDs. However, it turned out to be the best romcom I have seen to date. It works primarily because of these three ingredients: - Genuine storyline, quite realistic without going too OTT - Charming and very likable character played by Kareena - Music by Pritam, the recycling king/Bhappi Lahri of the 2000s

Too bad Imitiaz Ali could not follow it up with as good a movie. Love Aaj Kal, while pretty good, does not come close to this. I have watched it 3 times since my first viewing. Highly recommend!
