Synopsis: Bangkok-based Tara Mishra and Nikhil Singh meet at a wedding ceremony and fall instantly in love with love with each. They move in together and continue to live a fairly blissful lifestyle until Tara is invited to India to attend a wedding. Nikhil not only refuses to accompany her but also refuses to introduce his widowed mother, Meera, who is now living with another male, Dilip, to her. Tara, a talented singer/dancer, feels neglected as he is always focused on his business, is not prepared to make any long-time commitment, and forgets important events. An encounter with a taxi-driver compels Nikhil to change his mind, but things do no work out, Tara leaves him and shortly thereafter passes away in an accident. A devastated and guilt-ridding Nikhil returns home, cradling her photo and falls asleep. He wakes up the next morning with Tara alive and well next to him. Was he hallucinating the events from the previous day or was he being warned by fate to change his ways?

I was talking about you to him.

With the taxi driver?

- Yes.

There are some things to be said.

You can't talk to me, but the

taxi driver about me. Right?

When we met last time and spoke to...

...each other I don't

even remember that.

That's why I don't talk with you.

You know... you

exaggerate things so much.

I really don't understand,

man. You are... - Relax.

What's wrong with you?

You are thinking about pitch, right?

It will be fine,

baby. It will be okay.

Yes right! It will be okay.

And if it's not okay, it

will be better for you. Right?

Oh please!

I'll be able to go to India

with you. - Just take it easy.

You know, that's your problem!

Everything is easy for you.

Life is a hobby for you.

Sometimes come to my place and see.

I run the whole

agency single handed.

So many people earning

livelihood through that, you know.

And if I am not here then

what will happen, you know?

But you want me to

leave everything...

...and accompany you to

India to attend a wedding.

Yes? I cannot leave Thailand.

I need more time. Okay?

What should I do here till then?

What... what do you

mean by what to do?

Everything is running smoothly.

What's your problem?

- Exactly.

We both love each other, right?

So in all circumstances...

we can be happy.

Love can't earn a livelihood, Tara.

And I don't want to be

happy in any circumstance.

Okay? I want a perfect house.

I want a perfect job,

perfect office, perfect...

You want a perfect wife too!

I don't mean that. Okay?

I just want everything to be right.

I want to be sure.

- Sure about me?

When did I say that?

Come on, give me a break.

What happened to you, Nikhil?

Okay my clients are

going to come here.

Yes, Jai! Yes, I'm inside.

Already? Okay.

All right. All right.

I'll wait there.

What are your clients doing here?

I've called them.

So that the work I

couldn't complete in...

...office in the

morning because of you...

...I may be able to do that now.

Confine your

feelings to your heart.

And Tara, the future

you are talking about.

That future also

depends on this. Okay?

So you sit comfortably,

have a nice desert...

...finish your wine,

listen to nice music.

And I'll be right back. Okay?

Confine your

feelings to your heart.

Hello guys.

- Hello!

Hi!

- Hi!

Confine your

feelings to your heart.

Long drive here.

- Yes we had to travel.

Well come on.

Let it be in your heart.

Well that's the beauty

of our vegetarian cuisine.

Come, why don't you come?

You'll have a nice dinner. - Ok.

Jai, take care of them.

I'll be back. - Okay.

Where are you going?

Does it matter to you?

- I'II...

Right now I'm

going to Nadia's place.

After that India and...

then I don't know.

What do you mean?

Do you love me, Nikhil?

What is the connection,

I don't understand?

We've come here for dinner.

I'll finish my work soon then...

Why are you

over-reacting so much today?

It is not the

matter of today, Nikhil.

This is the

question of our life and...

...I need to know what's important!

You and me, our future,

that's what's important, okay?

And today? What about today, Nikhil?

What about today?

Do you love me, Nikhil?

Yes, I do.

- Then come with me.

Why are you going in a cab?

I've a car; I'll bring it

from office in two minutes.

Okay? Come on.

Brother, decide soon.

Oh you?

- Let's go.

Tara!

Tara!

Oh no! Tara!

Somebody help me!

Is there somebody to help me?

Somebody help me!

Somebody help me!

Omigosh!

- Nikhil, what happened?!

What happened to you?

Nikhil! Nikhil!

Nikhil, what's wrong with you?

Why are you looking so shocked?

Come here, what happened?

What happened, baby?

What happened?

I had a very bad nightmare.

- What did you dream?

You...

- What, baby?

What happened to you?

Tara, you... where you...

- What?

What happened to me?

You... you had gone away,

I don't know where.

Okay listen,

aren't you getting late?

For what?

- Today is your presentation, right?

Hello Nadia, were you at the...

...hospital with me yesterday?

At night?

Today you're going to

meet Tara? Okay, okay.

You reside in my heart.

You reside in my heart.

Be careful!

- What happened?

You would have burned yourself.

Here is coffee for you.

Since you prefer

coffee before presentation.

Actually I prefer you

before presentation.

Really? Today you're

very affectionate. - Why?

Don't I shower love daily?

No, daily you love your phone.

'You love your phone more than me.'

What happened?

Okay stop worrying now,

you've worked very hard.

And I'm sure you'll win the pitch.

You know, the pitch is not

important. - Very funny!

Oops! Oh God! I am such a klutz!

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

I'm so sorry. I'm really sorry.

Okay listen, today

evening when you'II...

What happened?

Nikhil, what happened?

Hey? What's wrong

with you today? Yes?

Today we won't go anywhere.

We'll stay at home today.

- Nikhil, please...

Not today.

- Today is your presentation.

Nikhil, today is your presentation.

Come on, now get dressed, okay?

Yes tell me? Yes, I'm on my way.

Yes, I'm okay, pal.

I just got a bit...

Yes, I'm feeling alright.

You just get the papers

ready and I'll be there. Yes.

What happened, Nikhil?

What happened?

- We won't go by car today.

Why?

- We go by car daily.

Right? We won't go today.

Let's go by train today.

Nikhil, you don't like

travelling by train at all.

But you like, don't you?

Shall we?

- Let's go.

Train travel is not so bad. I think

I should listen to you sometimes.

Strain the back, I've

to stress and drive.

I should listen to you sometimes.

Well right?

- It's cool!

Ouch!

- What happened?

Nothing, I got a burn while

ironing the shirt in morning.

Honey, my hand

burns every second day.

I knew your hand will burn.

- How?

I knew your hand will burn because...

...whatever is

happening today morning.

That has already

happened earlier in my dream.

I love you when

you say same to same.

I'm serious, honey.

But what happened,

why are you so tensed?

I had a dream.

- Exactly. That was a dream, Nikhil.

And what happened...

...that you are so hassled?

Yes? What happened?

- Nothing.

But everything is

happening exactly the same way.

Okay, so you feel all this

has already happened earlier?

Yes, yes. - Don't you know

what this feeling is called?

No.

- It's dejavu.

It happens to me ten times

in a day. Come on, Nikhil.

I know dejavu.

- Yes, it is dejavu. That's it!

Okay? What's wrong now?

Happy anniversary!

Oh my God! I don't

believe you remembered it!

Did you see this in your dream too?

Oh come on, I'm joking!

I want to give you something.

Really? Flowers are

enough for right now.

Can I... can I have these flowers?

Thank you. Thanks.

Oh Nikhil, don't

start again. Please!

I buy flowers daily.

What is this childishness?

Come on.

- I...

We are getting late. Come on.

- It's not possible.

Okay, check your phone now.

Is it working or not?

It's working. Just relax, honey.
