Although it wasn't a big movie when it came out and wasn't a successful one either. But, I got to see this movie in theater and I loved it throughout. It has emotional/comic romantic story and movie starts from college campus when our hero is about graduate and most of the story takes place after he passes out of college.
I was amazed by madhavan's acting skills (and comic timing too) and diya's beauty. Perfect chemistry between the two and comic moments here and there in the movie keeps you engrossed throughout. Music and all the songs are superb and A-class
Another great revelation was Saif's character. He was in new avatar (as he was written off by then) and could easily be said to be his one of the finest comeback movie (though there is dil chahta hai) and now he is one of the biggest star in bollywood, he should be thankful to this role.
I must have seen this move 100s time by now, it is so refreshing. When this movie came out, I was 18 then and was totally smitten by it.
I love it. :)

Firstly I'd like to say that people wanting to see this film should not read the synopsis, as it gives away to much and takes the "shock" or surprise factor from the films pacing.
It is good and simple love story of a spoilt guy who falls in love at first sight, then he tries to get her by any means and re discovers his sense of righteousness.
The story is very simple and just similar to any other film of its genre. It's nothing one hasn't seen in Bollywood. The second half fairs a little better than the first as it has a minute novelty factor. The film manages to keep you engaged but at the same time feels a bit "lengthy". It could have been cut short a bit by either removing a few unnecessary scenes or songs. As, it just has only a couple of good songs, one of them is the legendary and timeless "Zara Zara" by Oscar winner A.R. Rehman and Oscar nominee Bombay Jayshree. This is the song which brought the movie in limelight upon its release. A great song indeed.
Another commendable part of the film is the performance of R. Madhavan. He solely bears the film on his shoulders and sees it to the end. He depicts wide range of expressions along with a striking charm.
Direction: Good.
Script: Strong.
Acting: R Madhavan all the way. Dia is average and one fails to feel the love towards her character. Saif is Average. Anupam Ji is good. Side actors like Madhavan's friend Vrajesh has done a good job.
Music: Zara Zara is outstanding. Songs are good but are in excess.
An enjoyable film, a bit lengthy but a good watch.

This movie is just wow. Goals for all 90s kid. From music, acting everything simply beautiful.
Well what I can say..I remember, I took this DVD with much disdain as I don't usually go along with romantic movies..and voilà!! i was more than surprised as how much I liked the movie..it was a novel concept ,Maddy was great so his gang of friends, I think I have saw this movie at least 6 times, planning to buy a DVD. The movie start with the monologue by none other than Maddy..describing his love n Hate relationship with Rajiv Samra(Saif Ali Khan).the first half is great , its all fun, all jokes especially Maddy's gang.They are great especially the specko guy..his timing of delivering jokes and one liners are simply kewl.I think it would be great if you guys see the movie..am sure you wont regret..Folks..don't wait just go and grab the DVD and fall in love with the movie.
This movie was rather different in style and approach. The story was simple, thus adding to the charm of the movie. There where no "goodies" or "baddies", and the characters show some depth time and again. The rivalry between Sam and Maddy being the premise of the movie, made it a lot more interesting than your regular love drama.
I initially took this movie out as I'm a Saif Ali-Khan fan, but at the end of the movie I was a Mahdhavn fan. He is a good actor, and the character "Maddy" was so colorful that you can't help but fall for him. This movie had the best acting Diya Mirza has done to date, bar her performance in Tehzeeb. Unfortunately an actor of Saif's caliber was under-used, but Saif still manages to inject some life to the character Sam which is rather flat in comparison to the character Maddy. The surprising sensitivity that Sam shows at the end of the film was well written.
The only criticism I would have is that the character Rina seemed unable to make up her mind at the end and needs Sam to intervene, but this may be something to be expected as her family's expectations are huge weight on her shoulders. This ad's to the realism of the film.
Another reason I like this film is that it was shot on location in New Zealand, and at one point I see Diya Mirza running down a street I used to live on! They also dance in the Octogen in Duedin which is where I lived during Univesity. So to me this movie holds a special place because of the locations it was shot in, as well as being a thorough entertainer!
