Interestingly, in the sequel Saif's daughter Sara is playing the main lead who was just 14 years old when her dad's film released.

As we look forward to tomorrow's theatrical trailer release of the second instalment, here are the 5 things that will refresh your memory of Saif and Deepika starrer

Deepika Padukone and Saif Ali Khan were seen sharing the screen space for the first time in Imitiaz Ali's film. Both the actors as Meera and Jai were outstanding. Saif Ali Khan is a delight to watch while Deepika is endearing and eminently watchable in the film. Later, they both were again paired opposite in the 2012 release 'Cocktail'.

The film became very popular for its old school but heartening dialogues. "Pyaar Ik Waar Hi Honda Hai, Raaje.." or "Ye Heer-Ranja, janam-janam ka saath-type wale log ye sirf kahaniyon mein hote hai..." or this one "Wohi Meri Duniya, Wohi Meri Puja..Uske Sivah Nahi Aur Koi Duja", we have heard such lines many times but the way Saif aka Veer and Jai recites, they make you feel emotional.

Composer Pritam and lyricist Irshad Kamil had manifested a fantastic list of melodious tracks. The peppy songs 'Aahun Aahun' and 'Chor Bazari' were quite refreshing. The soulful romantic numbers 'Yeh Dooriyan' and 'Ajj Din Chadheya' surely tug out heartstrings. Overall the album was extremely good. Even after 10 years, many renditions of the tracks are popular among the listeners.

The film was an interpretation of how love has changed over the years and what is the difference between the love that was in 'Kal' as compared to the 'Aaj'. Although Rishi Kapoor had a brief role to play, his part of 'Kal' was the turning point for Saif's 'Aaj' love story. Saif was seen essaying the younger Rishi aka Veer who falls in love with Giselli Monteiro aka Harleen.

The idea of showcasing a parallel narrative really worked for the director Imitiaz Ali as the film garnered good business at the box office in that year. According to BoxofficeIndia.com, the Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone's romantic-comedy drama had collected Rs.66.56 crores nett. On the other hand, the Times of India had reviewed the film by giving 4 out of 5 stars.
