[edit] Plot

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

In the glitzy entertainment capital of Mumbai as dusk descends, famous actress Sana Azim (Kangna) slashes her wrists in a hotel room, in an attempt to kill herself. When this news reaches film-maker Aditya Garewal (Shiny Ahuja), he is devastated. Aditya has been searching for Sana, who was intensely involved with Aditya and who had mysteriously disappeared from his life without any explanation, three years ago, only to surface now in what could be the last moments of her life.

As Aditya waits outside the ICU in a death watch situation, praying to be reunited with her, he is hurled back into the perfumed days and champagne nights of his memory, wherein Sana played the role of both, lover and mentor to a struggling Aditya.

Everything was perfect, except for an enemy which lurked in the shadows, waiting to destroy their love. When Aditya realizes that the only way he can save Sana from total devastation is to take her away from Bollywood and the vested interests that threaten to destroy her completely, he runs away with Sana putting his career on the line. Those moments lived in the sanctuary of their love are like an oasis in the desert.

Until one day, suddenly, she disappears, leaving him with unanswered questions.

[edit] Trivia

  • Bipasha Basu was originally chosen to play the role of Sana. Basu opted out of it because she did not want to co-star with Emraan Hashmi (originally he was chosen to play the role of Aditya, but decided against it because it was more of a female led movie). When questioned why, Basu stated that Emraan "looks better with petite girls".
  • One of the songs in Woh Lamhe's soundtrack, Kya Mujhe Pyaar Hai was copied off the Indonesian band Peterpan
