Bachna Ae Haseeno

With his good looks, charm and sense of humour, Raj is a heartbreaker and knows it, and he is only too glad to exploit his power over women by sharing himself among his many female admirers. Treating love as a game where he is the only winner, Raj gains a valuable lesson in self-improvement from three very different women: innocent and hopelessly romantic Mahi, sexy, confident and fiercely independent Radhika and ambitious visiting student Gayatri. All three compel Raj to look at himself in the mirror and to change, hopefully for the better.
