    • Trivia
      Kareena Kapoor's wardrobe for the film was one of the most expensive Bollywood had seen. It included over 130 different dresses by top fashion designers from all over the world.
    • Goofs
      When Kareena shoots the sex scene the camera is handheld and shaky but when she sees it with Divya Dutta on laptop it looks like as if it's shot with camera held properly
    • Quotes

      Mahi Arora: You media people should write film scripts. What stories you make to bring out your personal emnity. "Heroine took a car; a businessman gifted her", "She bought a diamond; she got engaged", "She went to the hospital; she got an abortion", "She went to Elle; she underwent plastic surgery" and if she goes to Dubai, a rate card gets made of hers. You're the best in making stories.

    Ignore the rating, it's really not that bad

    I have absolutely no context for this movie and it's actors and sure it's not the most original plot but I found myself intrigued enough by the seedy side of fame to watch it to the end. I would actually recommend it for a slow night.

    Honestly, the main reason I'm giving it an 8 is to counter the absurdly low ratings. At the very least it deserves a 7.
