. Some scenes were copied frame-by-frame, but the plot as a whole was tweaked in various ways to fit Indian realities and expectations.

Plot

Aspiring pop singer Rohit Kumar (Khan) meets classical singer-in-training Kiran (Koirala) at a New Year party. Kiran and Rohit defy her parents and wed.

They soon have a son, Sunil (Adil). Rohit expects Kiran to do all the housework and childcare, and dedicate herself to his career as composer and singer. He ignores her career, her singing, and increasingly, her. She feels neglected and resentful. One day, she loses her temper and hits her child. She is horror-struck; her unhappiness is affecting her child! A neighbor convinces her that the only way she can save herself, and protect her child, is to leave. She disappears, leaving Rohit to care for Adil.

Rohit is a fumbling father at first, but soon learns how to take proper care of his son. Rohit and Sunil form a close loving bond, which cheers Rohit even as his career goes nowhere.

Kiran, in the meantime, is discovered and becomes a famous and rich Bollywood star. The success that evaded Rohit is hers. But is this enough? No -- she misses her son. After a few failed attempts to negotiate shared custody, she files suit for complete custody of their son.

After a long and expensive court battle Kiran wins ... but when it comes time to take Sunil away from his father, she has second thoughts. She tells Rohit that he can keep Sunil. In a twist on the Hollywood original, Kiran and Rohit realize that the best thing they can do for Sunil, and for themselves, is to reconcile. The film ends as the reunited family embraces.
