Rahul Kapoor (Imran Khan) is the dejected, under pressure, gloomy young man and Riana Briganza (Kareena Kapoor) the pep, fun loving, free spirit. Just when the boy was most needful for company, the girl just happens to jumps onto him from nowhere. They starts off as rivals, them become friends, to have their relationship gradually become more sophisticated and... if it wasn't for Imran Khan, anyone could have sworn this to be the story of 'Jab We Met'. It's official, Bollywood has run out of ideas and is desperate to the extent that one banner has started replicating films made by another banner. And on this occasion 'Rahul Kapoor' just fell short of the other Kapoor in recreating the charm on the screen.

Rahul Kapoor was brought up under very 'tight' conditions by his strict father ( Boman Irani) and socialite mother (Ratna Pathak Shah). Striving hard and yet failing every time in his attempt at living up to his parents' wishes, Rahul reaches 25 years of age, carrying in him a massive inferiority complex. He is sent to Las Vegas by his father to gain experience in the field of architecture, since Vegas is the architectural hub of the world. But Rahul isn't much of an architect and is fired from his first job; a dejected Rahul is on the hunt for another one. Riana is an out of job hair stylist who is going through a break up with her sixth boy friend. They meet at a store, then again in a lift, then a rift, a compromise, friendship, confusion, heart break, realisation and finally reconciliation.

The film has been made under the banner of Karan Johar's Dharma Productions and has been directed by debutant Shakun Batra, who has also cowritten the story and screenplay for the movie. In a very stale storyline that has been approached in a staler manner, the newness that the director has tried is with the casting of Kareena Kapoor and Imran Khan in their first film together. But sadly, there never seems to be much of a chemistry between the onscreen pair.
