Review:
This movie was amazing!! Not only were Shahid and Kareena sooooo cute and fabulous in it, but the music and plot were genius. I loved Geet, she was so fun and you could connect to her and Aditya was so kind and loved Geet so much that you couldn't help liking him. I really did not know what was going to happen with their relationship, and when the boyfriend came back for Geet, I was shocked. The twist was absolutely amazing because it was heart-wrenching and defiantly unexpected. I could watch this film over and over and never get tired of it. I think the music really plays a HUGE part in how good the film is, it just keeps you hooked and its fun. I think what's nice about this film is that there is no huge drama, it's just people that you can actually see in real life and I think it was key that they did not over do the love between Geet and Aditya. As the audience you knew that there was love there, but it was a friendship too and that's what made it so cute! And I ADORED Kareena's wardrobe. The harem pants were PERFECT! I am pretty sure that the lovely Manish Malhotra did her wardrobe for the film.

Music:
Well, I have the whole soundtrack because I love it so much, but I would have to say the very best songs are Ye Ishq Hai and Mauja Mauja.
