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?

...and then right till

that point we used to slide.

All our bottoms used

to really get swollen...

...because we used

to all scrape till...

Now?

- Whatever you say!

Sure?

Sure!

- Promise?

Always!

Now that we have come till here...

- Yes!

Then I want to go

somewhere else too. - Where?

Do not ask me questions.

Come on!

Greetings!

- Greetings!

Where is Mother?

Mother is inside!

Greetings!

Come!

Put your bag over there.

Tell me one thing!

- Yes!

How will you feel if I

put an 'I' in Meera?

Will your luck change?

What do you think?

Well... I...

- I am very lucky for you.

Mother!

Nikhil! Nikhil!

Mother, how are you?

- I am fine!

How are you?

Mother, this is Mishra.

Tara!

- Hi aunt! - Hi!

Come! Come on inside.

As it is nothing has

changed here, you know.

It's beautiful!

Come!

- This is my favourite spot. - Yes?

When I was a child I

used to sit here and...

Thank you!

- Sit.

Hi, Dilip!

- Nikhil!

It's been a long time.

You know I...

- Yes.

Tony, your mother misses you a lot.

You must come sometimes.

And who is this

beautiful lady! Family!

Yes! She is family!

She is beautiful but not

much as my wife! - Dilip!

Do you know how to cook?

- Yes!

Painting! Embroidery!

Tara is a dancer and a

very good singer too.

One day she will

become a very big star.

If Tara does not become a

star then who else will be?

Dilip! You really are a...

But she liked it.

- Definitely!

Okay Tara, tell me one thing.

How many brothers and

sisters do you have?

I am the only one!

And what do your parents do?

My dad...

- No, will he be able to give dowry?

Dilip! Oh God! Why are

you scaring that child?

Tara, don't take him

seriously; he is just joking.

No, no, I know aunt.

Uncle if...

- Wait! Look, if I say something...

...I hope you will not feel bad.

Please do not call

me uncle! Call me dad!

It is my wish since...

That's my dad!

Wow! So many photographs.

Dilip has put them up.

Wonder from where he found them out.

That's really very nice of him.

Yes! Dilip is nice!

What is this?

Hey! Mother, from

where did you find this?

Are you a musician?

No! No! In my childhood...

mother how embarrassing!

Nonsense! He plays the

instrument very well.

He is just saying it.

Because you are my mother

you say so. - She is right.

You used to play the saxophone

very well in your childhood.

Come!

Ah!

Hey!

- Wow!

Please play something, my dear.

I do not know if after so

many years it will play or not.

Sit!

Wow! It still looks as good as new.

It's perfect!

Once a week Dilip cleans it.

And he also changes the reed.

He says... wonder when

Nikhil will come back.

All right! All right! Okay! Okay!

This... this... - Now be serious!

I am going to play for her. Okay?

- Okay!

This is exclusively for her.

This is for you, baby!

My dear, take care of him.

No! No! Girls in our house

do not touch anyone's feet.

My dear, you always be happy!

See you!

As happy as you have made us.

My dear, do you

remember your father?

Take care of yourself.

Bye!

See you!

Dad!

Bye aunt!

- Bye, my dear.

Take care!

Dad, next time...

No, no, next time we

are coming to your place.

Today itself you warn your parents.

See you!

'Tell me the truth; what do

you really love in your life? '

'You!

- Okay! '

'What do you like besides me?

- Singing.'

'When you sing you

look so happy that... '

'It's unbelievable.'

I become so happy!

That's because you love me.

That too! And you really

sing very well. You know.

In fact you should

sing professionally.

Are you mad? It is not so easy

to sing professionally, okay?

And by the way the entire

life is there for me to sing.

You know; that's the problem.

We try to find our

happiness in the future.

Life is now, right?

- Yes!

I want to live in the present.

Are you feeling fine?

You are saying all this?

What?

I hope I am not

saying this too late.

But you have to perform, you know.

If I get a heart attack in

the middle of my performance...

...then you, to me...

Don't even say these things!

Okay, fine.

Okay?

- Yes!

You know when in college

I used to get nervous...

...before the show.

- Yes!

Annu used to come

in the green room...

...and make strange faces and

make me lose my fear. - Okay?

Oh God! Nikhil, I am so nervous!

It will be just fine!

I will just come.

I just have to

change my clothes and...

...make a few phone calls.

In the meantime you go... and for it.

You won't ditch me, isn't it?

How do you know?

Go! Okay, do not be late!

Okay! There is no time.

I know!

- Bye!

Hi! Can I use your

photocopy machine? - Yes!

Here!

- Thank you!

Okay!

'Will you have breakfast?

You know I cannot promise you.

You tell me I will

not be able to come.

What are you saying?

This time when you return

everything will be fine.

After today I do

not want to meet you.

This is the question of my life.

And I know what I am doing.

Perfect! - Tara!

I want a perfect office!

I want a perfect office.

What if she doesn't return? '

Okay, tell us what happened?

Oh! So she left us.

After that he took

me to this island.

The blue sky! The blue waters.

Boats! Champagne.

I mean it was so romantic.

Can you imagine Nikhil

being so romantic? - No!

Exactly!

And you keep blabbering

that he never takes you...

...to meet his parents.

I forced him to take me to his

parents and I have met them.

Very good!

- Thank you!

Now is he coming here or not?

Yes, he is coming.

He just went home to

change his clothes so...

...he will be here any moment.

- Oh! - What?

We will see.

- Yes, we will see!

Just see!

What is this?

Just came to wish you luck.

Thank you!

And... these are for you!

My! My!

Thank you!

So, how are you feeling?

- Nervous!

You are going to be all right!

Don't worry! You are

going to do great!

Kick some stuff! Yes!

Well, I better leave you to it.

Maybe I have to leave it here!

Bye!

- Bye!

What a clown!

You are so quiet!

What are you trying to

tell me with your silence?

Is this a glass of wine or my rival?

Or did I make a mistake

in touching these lips?

Everything is down the throat.

What the devil had kept!

You did not even keep

a drop of death for me?

Who is the one who is

knocking on the door of Kohzak?

Stupid! This is not a dagger.

The pangs of

separation are killing me.

And now ladies and gentlemen!

Juliet herself!

Miss Tara Mishra!

Please come on to the stage.

Come on, Tara!

Isn't she marvellous?

You know there is one

thing that many people...

...do not know about Tara.

That is as well as

being a wonderful actress...

...she is a brilliant singer!

Thank you, so much.

Perhaps she will

sing for us tonight.

Tara, the band is here!

Tara Mishra!

I do not know how I can

remember that moment.

How can I bring

back that yesterday?

Tell me where it is lost?

I will always remember your love.

This your heart will never forget.

I never thought what has happened.

You are residing in my heart.
