The romantic comedy which marked filmmaker Siddharth Anand's first directorial project was well-received by the moviegoers upon its release in 2005. Produced by Aditya Chopra and Yash Chopra under the Yash Raj Films banner; the film stars Saif Ali Khan as Nikhil and Preity Zinta as Ambar in the lead roles. Jaaved Jaffrey, Arshad Warsi, Tania Zaetta and Jugal Hansraj appear in supporting roles.

The film revolves around two young Indians Nikhil and Ambar, living in Australia, and their decision to move in together without marriage. They part ways when Ambar gets pregnant. However, their tenancy agreement forces them to live together in an awkward relationship. The title song of the flick, plus others like 'My Dil Goes hmmm', 'What's Goin' On' were widely loved by the moviegoers upon the release.
