Aditya (Akshay Kumar), an automobile engineer in a car company, is as passionate about cars as
Shakespeare was about writing. Not only is he an engineer, but also a test driver for the company. A
post like that can explain how well he could drive.
Aditya is engaged to Sonia (Bipasha Basu), a fashion designer about to make her mark in the field.
As individuals, Aditya and Sonia were not on the same wavelength. Sonia was a 21st Century woman
for whom career came first and she believed in changes. And as much as Aditya tried to overlook
those facts, they kept coming in the way.
Though the marriage date is fixed, Aditya had to leave for Canada to learn about the technique of a
new car model, to be launched in India; while Sonia had to leave for Paris for a fashion show.
Aditya arrives in Canada where his sister Simran (Bhagyashree) is living. He meets the family but
cannot live with them as the company has given him an apartment close to the workshop. But he
makes it a point to meet the family on weekends.
In between work, co-incidence or destiny makes him bump into Jia (Katrina Kaif) more than once. Jia,
daughter of business tycoon Yashwardhan Birla, has come to Canada all alone to shop for her
wedding with the business giant, Karan Raichand.
Jia was a simple girl with simple needs. She had got everything she could ask for in her childhood,
but never time from her ever so busy father. And now the man her father had chosen for her hardly
had any time to spend with her too.
And that is when she found a friend in Aditya. Aditya and Jia manage to spend time with
each other and as time passes, the friendship between them grows.
Being an amazing driver, Aditya gets a chance from his company to participate in a car rally. And
somehow he persuades Jia to participate with him, and wins it too. On returning from the destination
of the rally, their car gets stuck in the snow and they have to spend the night together.
They share intimate moments, which make
them forget that they were engaged, but not to each other.
With passing time, they fail to realize when they start falling in love with each other. But a
misunderstanding with Aditya and prior commitment with Karan makes Jia go back to India to get
married with Karan. Aditya also comes back to India to get married with Sonia and does not attempt
to meet Jia ever again. But fate makes them meet for the last time – at Jia's wedding...
