          • Alternate versions
            After the harassment actor Shah Rukh Khan faced after the film's release with a newspaper agency, the CBFC demanded the sex scene between him and actress Deepa Shahi to be removed. The scene was included in early releases of the film but is now missing from all prints.

          Boring
          Maya is a woman without any interests. She just dreams her life away and wonders, why she does not feel fulfilled. This could be an interesting topic. That would need a good story, a nice setting and good dialogues. It doesn't have any of these. This movie is totally boring. There are only lengths and no climaxes.The only climax is Shahrukh Khan. But although I am a huge fan of his, I couldn't stand this movie. Even he can't make this movie exiting. The movie is not as bad as "King Uncle" and if you're an Art-house fan or like it slow, you might maybe like it. It's not funny, it's not interesting, it's not catching. My recommendation: Don't watch it.
