The music is composed by Pritam with lyrics by Sayeed Quadri. The film was released on May 11, 2007.

The film appears to be loosely inspired by Billy Wilders The Apartment.
Dia(Madhuri Dixit) is a divorced mom living in New York and must go back to India after she receives news that her guru is on his death bed. When she arrives she finds he is gone and has left her the responsibility of saving and reviving the Ajanta Theater where she used to dance. The problem is that the political officers (Akshaye Khanna) want it torn down and turned into a shopping mall. The storyline follows Dia and her challenge to stand up for what she believes in and fight the cause to the end, while trying to win back the love and support of the people of the town whom she walked out on ten years ago.
