Plot
Priya Malhotra is an orphan living in Delhi who hopes to have a family of her own and keeps a diary outlining her dreams and the type of man she wants to meet – someone who does not drink, smoke, or tell lies. She is skeptical when her friend Honey's aunt, a card reader, Sunita Rao, predicts that she will go to a foreign land and find the love of her life in seven days. She is pleasantly surprised when she is selected to go to the Youth Festival in Bangkok.That is where Immy enters. Immy is the complete opposite of what Priya wants in a guy. He smokes, drinks, and lies. Due to his bad habits, Immy is being chased by security, and he runs into Priya's hostel room to hide. Before he leaves, he sees Priya and falls in love with her. He takes her diary and escapes. He then pretends to be the guy Priya wants to be with, and the two start a relationship. Soon enough, Priya spots her diary in his room and realises he had stolen her diary and pretended to be like her dream man. She breaks up with him and returns to Delhi to forget about her past.
After she reaches the airport, Immy also arrives and explains to her that destiny wants them together. Priya does not believe him and therefore challenges him that if destiny did want them together, they would both find each other again in the future. In order to prove it, she asks Immy to write his name and phone number on a currency note and uses it to buy a numerology book, in which she writes her own name and phone number, and then she sells it in a market. Additionally, Priya takes Immy to a hotel, where they both take separate lifts. If both of them press the same button in the elevator, it will prove that destiny brought them together. Although Priya and Immy pressed the same button, Immy's lift slowed down because a child entered the lift and pressed all the buttons. As a result, Immy could not meet Priya. Now, it was all up to the currency note and the numerology book to come back to Priya and Immy, respectively, for them to get back together.
Three years later, Immy is engaged to Sofiya, and Priya is engaged to Jatin, as the latter has been living in Mumbai. However, a week before the marriage, both of them land up in Delhi and Mumbai — Priya goes to Delhi while Immy goes to Mumbai — where they were trying to look for each other. Priya's search is hindered by the fact that she does not know Immy's real name. After several near misses, Priya finds the currency note, and Immy finds the book after he returns to Delhi. They find each other, which is when Immy reveals his real name is Amit. The film ends with both of them reuniting and getting married.

Production
In 2004, the cast began shooting in Delhi and Dubai, and later continued to shoot at Pathways World School. They were also supposed to shoot in Thailand, but Kapoor asked for a delay to attend the premiere of Dil Maange More!!!, thus avoiding the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami that destroyed the hotel that the cast and crew had been scheduled to stay in. The movie was expected to hit screens on 23 December 2005, but due to financial and casting problems, it failed to do so. Salman Khan was signed on to do an important extended guest appearance for the film but opted out because of differences with the film's lead pair.After the lead pair broke up, sources indicated that they wouldn't come together to dub for the film. However, the director, Satish Kaushik questioned: "...why should Shahid and Kareena have any problems dubbing it?" Producer Boney Kapoor further noted that "...perhaps it was destined that the most romantic film featuring Shahid and Kareena would come after their relationship." In December 2007, sources indicated that the film was scheduled to be released the day after Valentine's Day, but it was again delayed. On 1 April 2008, the director announced that Shahid Kapoor had begun dubbing for the film, whilst Kareena Kapoor would begin after she returned from her overseas trip. In February 2009, it was reported that both the actors had finally completed dubbing for the movie.
