The film is a masterclass in marital friction. Raj and Priya marry against the wishes of her family. Initially, it is bliss. But soon, their class differences and Raj’s crippling insecurity (fueled by his bankruptcy) tear them apart. A massive fight leads to a divorce. The second half of the movie sees a broken Raj trying to win back his war wife as she moves to Greece.

The film's direction by Aditya Chopra is also noteworthy, as he brings a sense of nuance and subtlety to the narrative. The supporting cast, including Saif Ali Khan and Dimple Kapadia, add depth and texture to the film.

Preity Zinta, who was relatively new to Bollywood at the time, proves her mettle as a talented actress and holds her own alongside Khan. Saif Ali Khan, who plays the role of Ankur, brings a touch of sophistication and arrogance to the film, making him a great foil to Khan's character.

Aishwarya had even shot some portions of the movie. However, during the production, her then-boyfriend, actor Salman Khan, reportedly began creating disturbances and causing tensions on the set. The situation escalated to the point where it became untenable for the production team to continue with Aishwarya. As a result, a collective decision was made to replace her with Rani Mukerji, who was, ironically, one of Aishwarya's close friends at the time.
