Waqt-Waqt Ki Baat Hai: Saif Ali Khan in Love Aaj Kal</td></tr></tbody></table>Versions A source who has seen the script of the Hindi version says, "The Imtiaz Ali version and the Taiwanese version share similar story-lines. The story moves in three different eras and the lead couple remains the same throughout. In Three Times, the film starts in 1911 then moves to 1966 and eventually settles in 2005." Many eras The source further adds, "Love Aaj Kal is also on the same lines and the story keeps moving from one era to another and also all over world. From San Francisco to London, the film finally settles in the current era in Kolkata. It basically just tells the story of two lovers in different time zones hence the title of the film Love Aaj Kal!" Even after repeated tries, director Imtiaz Ali chose not to comment. But Dinesh Vijan, the co-producer of the filmu00a0 simply says, "All I want to say is that our film is not a copy of this movie." <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2009/apr/three_times.jpg" align="left" border="1" />About Three Times Three stories of women and men: In 1966, "A Time for Love," a soldier searches for a young woman he met one afternoon playing pool; "A Time for Freedom," set in a bordello in 1911, revolves around a singer's longing to escape her surroundings; in 2005 in Taipei, "A Time for Youth" dramatises a triangle in which a singer has an affair with a photographer while her partner suffers. u00a0 In the first two stories, letters are crucial to the outcome; in the third, it is cellphone calls, text messages, and a computer file. Over the years between the tales, as sexual intimacy becomes more likely and words more free, communication recedes.
