Taran Adarsh from indiaFM gave the film a 3.5 out of 5 rating saying it is 'as refreshing as an ice-cold watermelon juice in scorching heat.' Subhash K. The film's direction and performances were particularly appreciated. Critics praised the film for its simplicity, its romance, saying that it was 'one of the finest romantic films to come out of Bollywood in 2007'. Upon release, the film opened to positive reviews. He was perfect for the role of a young, mature, quiet guy.' He has gone through a lot in life and that maturity had never been brought out. I was never a fan of her and hadn't seen too many of her flicks, but I just knew Kareena was perfect as Geet, When I met him, I realised he wasn't the forgettable actor that he comes across in several of his movies. She had to be without make-up, someone who could be hyper, talkative and interesting but not irritating. On the two lead actors, Ali commented, 'I wanted a girl who could look natural in scenes where she misses the train. When Ali began casting for the film, Preity Zinta was the director's first choice to portray the role of Geet Dhillon whilst actor Bobby Deol was the first choice for the role of Aditya Kashyap but Shahid replaced Bobby after Ali met him and discovered the actor was more than a poster boy, while when Preity refused to do the film the role went to Kareena.
Pre-production work on the film began in early 2007 when Shree Ashtavinayak Cinevision Ltd announced that director Imtiaz Ali would be directing the then real life couple Shahid and Kareena Kapoor in their first 'full-fledged romantic drama'.
