Movie Info

Naina might seem an ideal daughter, but she is a disappointment to her large Punjabi family for the standard reason--she is not married and has no immediate intention to be. Though Naina is involved in a teasing flirtation with a fellow student, the wealthy Rohit, she has closed her heart against love, a result of her father's mysterious suicide some years before. But suddenly a shooting star drops into her life in the form of Aman, an infectiously optimistic and energetic visitor from India.

I loved this movie. The dialogues were really funny. At some point, it did seemed a bit lame (when Shahrukh was acting like an irritating neighbor who comes to ask for something, that part wasn't near laughable). I like Preity Zinta.
