Aman (Arjun Rampal) has three children with Maya (Kajol), but the couple are divorced. He lives now with Shreya (Kareena Kapoor) and has the fool notion that he'd like his new partner to meet his children in his old partner's house during his youngest child's birthday party. Some guys just aren't too bright.
I'm in no way intending to trivialise the subject matter dealt with in the film, but the resultant story is pretty terrible, the sentimentality forcibly mawkish, and the situations feel much too engineered. If it was a painting it'd be palate knife painted, thick and amateurish. If it was a book it'd be from a first-time novelist. It hits its mark at the end, though, but that's true of many Bollywood films. I'll give it an additional half point, anyhow, because endings are hard.
