) is the cheerful, peppy mother to Dev.
Dev happens to meet Maya right before her wedding, and despite being strangers, they connect instantly. The connection between the two remains a glowing spark that re-ignites when they meet four years later.
Only minutes after meeting Maya, Dev, who had signed a contract for $5 million to play professional football, is hit by a car- an accident that leaves him crippled and ends his football career. Rhea becomes wealthy and successful and begins earning money for the family, leaving Dev embittered at his own failure and angry that he cannot support his family. When Maya meets Dev the next time, he is bitter - his failed career and failing marriage are festering wounds to which his wife Rhea's professional success acts as rubbing salt. In the Talwar home, things are no better; Maya still does not feel any romantic love for Rishi and is guilty for her inability to have children.
Dev and Maya give in to a dreamy, coffee-drenched romance and realize they have fallen in love. However, due to a series of misunderstandings, Rhea and Rishi think that their spouses really love them and start to believe that they can make their marriages work. But after an incident in which the two of them fake feelings for their spouses in order to make each other jealous, Dev and Maya start to feel like they are cheating on each other with their own spouses. This realization brings them to a dramatic point of no return, and they end up sleeping together. Shortly afterward, they are caught in an embrace outside the train station by Sam and Kamaljit.
Sam, having lived the good life for a long time, ultimately has to bear the punishment of all his excesses. He has a fatal heart attack and as he lies on his death bed, he gives Maya some unconventional advice: he tells her to leave his son Rishi since neither of them are happy in their marriage.
Three years later, Rishi goes to meet Maya and invites her to his wedding. There, Rhea sees Maya for the first time in three years and realizes that Maya and Rishi were not together as she thought. The news that Dev is still alone, combined with some prodding from Rishi and Rhea, convinces Maya to run after Dev. Dev is about to catch a train when he sees Maya. He hides from her because he had told Maya earlier that he was happy with Rhea and he thinks that she is happily married to Rishi. However, Maya finds him in his seat and he uses the emergency brakes to get out to meet her. Realising how alone the two of them have been, Dev proposes to Maya, and she accepts wholeheartedly.

also praised the diversity of emotions displayed by the cast, remarking that, "scripter Shibani Bathija never lets her characters inhabit a secure emotional place for very long, and impediments to happiness come from their own weaknesses rather than social constraints or plot-generated misunderstandings".

was particularly critical of the film, also expressing dissatisfaction with the length of the film. Sen, after viewing the film, remarked, "I feel older. A showing of Karan Johar's mammoth 22-reel Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna has left me unbelievably exhausted. I walked out of the hall feeling my cheeks for stubble, wondering if my clothes are suddenly dated and my hair's grey. I've lost a sizeable chunk of my life, and you will too".
Unlike other critics he identified flaws in the script and criticized the strength of characters in the film saying "The characters are cardboard, the setting is glitzy, the songs are tiresome, and the story oscillates between high melodrama and slapstick hilarity, going nowhere. Rarely has a weak script relied so completely on pretty people with big names to carry every line through".

of the New York Times emphasised the larger than life nature of the film, remarking that, "It is full of big Bollywood stars and outsized everything: the rainstorms are a little rainier than real life; the wind machines are cranked up an extra notch; the close-ups get closer and linger longer than usual; the coincidences that drive the plot are a little more numerous and unlikely than normal screenwriting allows".
He praised the humor in the script and the director's comic timing in certain scenes such as the children's soccer match, the bed store, and at the opera.
