Story:
The film begins in a bowling alley, where a group of friends are awaiting the arrival of Salim. Meanwhile, Deepak arrives along with his fiancee Sheetal. Sheetal has a book with her which happens to be a love story. When the conversation arises about love, Deepak and the rest find it necessary to make Sheetal aware that true love does exist. And they have the perfect example- the story of Raj and Priya, two of their closest friends. Raj Malhotra (Shahrukh Khan) is the owner of Raj Transport, a small trucking company he founded himself. Raj is a carefree man. He doesn't quite have a path set in stone so he tries everything. He is unorganized, messy, lazy and late all the time. Although he isn't the richest, he's always happy. On the other hand Priya Chopra (Rani Mukherjee) is a successful fashion designer whose family is quite wealthy. Priya, originally from Greece, lives with her Aunt Anna who wants to give her the best in life (meaning wealth and success). Priya has her life all planned out- the complete opposite of Raj. Now how do two completely different people fall in love, or more important how do they meet? Quite funny actually.... a car accident. Raj was cruising in his truck when speedy Priya drives right past him, though she didn't get through very easily. Hot tempered Priya angrily hops out of her car and immediately begins insulting and venting off at Raj. Too busy to notice that her own car has managed to roll down a hill. Raj, astonished by her beauty, just stands there smiling in a daze. Eventually Priya has to accept a tow from Raj. Later they meet again at the wedding of Salim and Farah -mutual friends. Eventually they themselves become friends. The two arrange to meet again and slowly begin to fall in love. Raj receives her phone number while dropping Priya home; but carelessly loses it. He then sets out to find her and eventually finds his Priya. But it's when he finds her that he learns that she's engaged. Desperate Raj follows Priya to Greece where he continues to woo her. When it's time to part company, Priya realizes that she is in love with Raj. They finally get married after persuading Priya's parents persistently. They arrive in Mumbai where Raj welcomes Priya into their home. Raj then makes an oath to God or his talisman. He wishes it to protect Priya if he is not ever around, because he loves her very much.
Back to the bowling alley- Sheetal is in tears, for she never heard a more beautiful story. Salim arrives along with Farah. They announce that today was Raj and Priya's 1st wedding anniversary so they were planning a surprise party. Excited Sheetal can't wait to meet the famous Raj and Priya but when they do arrive, they're nothing like what they seemed. A year has changed both Raj and Priya and the two just can't stop arguing. When they do find some common ground and happiness, it doesn't last long. Raj feels the pressure to meet up with the expectations of Priya's family. Raj himself is struggling financially. His company has gone bankrupt and he has many bills and loans to repay. When he is insulted by bank official he returns home crying. Priya cannot stand to see her husband in this state & resorts to asking her former fiance for money. When Raj asks her about the source of money, she lies. But when Raj throws a celebration party he learns of the truth. Angry at Priya, he becomes destructive and eventually she runs away to her parents. Raj realizing his error goes after his wife only to be insulted by her family. Priya decides to leave India because she cannot live with Raj and she cannot stay without being with him. When Raj is informed about this he races to the airport to stop his love just as he did the year before. He confronts her by saying he will change and that he has a dream that the two of them can start a family together. Although Priya expresses that she has the same dream, she says that it is impossible for the two to be together, so she boards the plane. Giving up, Raj remembers his oath and sends his talisman to Priya. When Priya receives the talisman she too recalls Raj's confession. Raj returns home to find Priya waiting for him there. She says that the only way to make their dream come true, is to be together so that's how it's gonna be... Together forever they won't ever leave. In a jokingly manner the two get into another argument but instead of calling it a fight they say this is how they express their love. They continue to argue as the credits roll.
