Successful young architect Ali Rehman Khan learns he has advanced lung cancer. Facing death, he tries to apologize to ex-girlfriend Hareem Farooq. He discovers her in the back seat of his car, insisting that he help her get away from her cousin who wants her to marry him, a psychopathic young man with a terrifyingly full and geometrically trimmed beard, although it's never clear whether he wants to marry her for sexual purposes or to get her property. Probably both.
Although we start out feeling bad for Khan, that gradually begins to fade. Likewise, when we first meet Miss Farooq, she seems like a maddeningly self-centered and flighty creature, but this is a story of revelation, aided by some flashback sequences and a couple of comic sidekicks. I found the sidekicks more annoying than funny, but we'll write that off to the fact I'm not Pakistani. The leads are attractive, the story is good, and Miss Farooq seems to have an outfit to match the set design of every scene. It's nothing particularly novel, but well done.
