As luck would have it, Raju manages to steal Shekhar’s prized script and is catapulted to super-stardom. Following this incident, Shekhar plunges into a phase of self pity and dejection, which results in his wife, Mansi (Amrita Rao), leaving him.

Love Aaj Kal

Synopsis
Love AajLondon, San Francisco, Delhi - 2009.Jai and Meera are a modern-day couple in London. They are very happy together but do not believe in tying each other down. So when life pulls them in different directions, they decide to go with the flow. "These Heer-Ranjha, Romeo-Juliet type janam janam ka saath type couples exist only in story books," Jai says. In the real life, we have to be practical.
Love KalDelhi, Calcutta - 1965.Veer Singh is struck by a thunderbolt when he sees Harleen for the first time. Soon after, he stands under a tree and swears that "is janam mein aur har janam mein... yehi meri votti banegi - Harleen Kaur." He travels a thousand kilometers by train to stand under her balcony only to have a glimpse of her face. And yet not speak a word with her.
Love Aaj KalVeer does not understand how Jai can treat matters of the heart without passion, like a financial transaction. Jai does not understand how Veer Singh could have been so naive and silly about Harleen in the days of his youth. But as both stories unfold, we realize that the process of relationship might be different in different eras, but the experience of being in love remains the same. So there is the frolic and despair of modern living, the liberation and confusion. And there is the past - the times of innocence and compulsion. And there is distance, and the fondness that increases with distance. Gaps widen between two people, but bridges keep growing too.

New York

Plot
New York begins in the United States in 2008 with the arrest by the FBI of Omar (Neil Nitin Mukesh), a young Muslim man originally from Delhi, after guns were found in the trunk of a taxi cab he had been driving. He is then taken into custody and interrogated by FBI Agent Roshan (Irrfan Khan), also a Muslim man originally from South Asia who has been living in the United States for twenty years. After a period of time, Omar discovers that he is wanted by the FBI in order to spy on a former college friend, Samir or Sam (John Abraham), whom he hasn't seen in seven years and who the FBI believes is a terrorist. In the process, he discovers that Sam has married Maya (Katrina Kaif), another college friend, and that they have a young son, Danyal (Aidan Wagner).
Roshan orders Omar to tell him everything he knows about Sam. The film then flashes back to September 1999 when Omar begins New York State University as an international student on scholarship. He is befriended by Maya who is his student counselor. In the process, he learns that Maya was born and raised in New York but is fluent in Hindi because of her mother's interest in Bollywood films. Omar also meets Sam, another Indian American who is also Muslim and fluent in Hindi due to the fact that his father is a professor of Indian studies. Over the next two years, all three are inseparable friends and both Omar and Sam are in love with Maya. When she finally chooses Sam, Omar begins to distance himself. Their carefree days fully end with the onset of 9/11.
Omar then agrees to help Roshan, if only to prove that both he and Sam are innocent of the charges of terrorism which have been leveled against them. He reunites with Maya and Sam and stays in their house, all the while spying for the FBI in order to find the proof the FBI is searching for. Omar learns that Maya is a civil rights activist who is helping one of Sam's employees, Zilgai (Nawazuddin Siddiqui). Zilgai was deeply traumatized by his experience as a former 9/11 detainee who was released due to lack of evidence and has difficulty adjusting back to "normal" life.
As time progresses, Omar feels satisfied that he can find nothing to warrant the suspicions and is ready to leave when a series of events force him to reconsider the FBI's stance. In the process, he learns that ten days after 9/11, Sam was arrested and detained for a period of nine months as a suspected terrorist, a charge which everyone, including Roshan later agreed was false. Sam was eventually released due to lack of evidence. However, the impact of being detained, permanently changed Sam in ways which are difficult for those surrounding him to understand. In addition, Maya is unable to help Zilgai resolve the trauma of being a detainee and after a routine traffic stop which escalates, Zilgai later kills the police officer. On the run, Zilgai eventually commits suicide.
The climax of the film rests upon the attempts of Maya, Omar, and Roshan to prevent Sam from committing an act of violence. They succeed and Sam eventually surrenders and aborts his attempt to bomb the FBI building. However, the moment he drops his cell-phone, which was originally intended as a detonator for the bomb, he is shot and killed by FBI snipers (the bomb, however, does not go off). Maya, who was running toward Sam, also gets killed. Omar eventually adopts their son Danyal and reconciles with Roshan.

8 X 10 Tasveer

After a flashback to a Jai Puri (Akshay Kumar) as a child, in shock at the edge of a cliff as his parents pull him away, the film jumps to the present day, finding Jai now a forest ranger in the woods near Alberta, Canada. Jai lives in a cabin with his girlfriend Sheila(Ayesha Takia, but has been estranged from his parents, Jatin(Benjamin Gilani) and Savitri Puri(Sharmila Tagore). Jatin is the CEO of a privately held Canadian oil company, Canoil. That oil exploration causes environmental damage is a great source of tension between father and son.
Jai has a supernatural or mutant gift: He is able to enter a photograph and vividly experience the events preceding the time of the photograph. Jai is unable to understand or explain this gift, except to recall that it started when he was very young. Jai tries to use this gift to help people (e.g. find people lost in the woods) despite the risks to his own body. Jai can remain in photographs only for a minute, and experiences life-threatening, stroke-like effects afterward.
Jai's father drowns in a boating accident under mysterious circumstances. Jatin was aboard his own boat, the Golmaal, and was surrounded by his wife; his brother(Anant Mahadevan), Sunder; longtime friend and lawyer Anil(Girish Karnad); and Adit(Rushad Rana), Jatin's surrogate son. Eccentric former cop Hapibulla "Happi" Pasha(Javed Jaffrey), who suffers from OCD, and whom Jatin had helped emigrate to Canada and start a life there, believes Jatin may have been murdered, and that everyone on the boat at that time may have had motive. The only clue is an 8x10 photograph of the four men, which Savitri shot a few moments before Jatin fell off the boat and had a hypothermia-induced heart attack.
Jai repeatedly uses his gift to enter the photo and experience the incident through the eyes of the four subjects in it. After each entry, Jai picks up various clues from the viewpoint of the subject. Happi follows up on these clues and tries to string together a theory. But Jai his body gradually weakening from the stress of entering the photograph. As well, Sunder is found hanged, an apparent suicide, and a mysterious party in a black SUV tries to kill Jai and Sheila. Later, someone makes an attempt on Savitri's life. Happi enlists the help of a nurse, Sally, whom he had left at the altar some unspecified time ago, who though resentful of Happi helps administer medical aide to Jai in order to help him find the killer.
After the knife attack on Savitri, Jai enters the photo one last time, at great risk to his weakening body, to find the final set of clues, and is set upon by his now-grown twin, Jeet — who had been presumed dead but had survived the fall to live a hellish existence — and the unfaithful Sheila. During a tussle, Happi arrives at Jai's cabin and tries to help, but Sheila kills him with an axe. Jeet and Sheila dump Happi's body, as well as that of their betrayed confederate, Adit, into the sea, and attempt to do the same with Jai. Jai ingeniously escapes, and attempts to reconcile with his long-lost brother. Touched, Jeet kills Sheila as she fires on Jai, but her shot kills Jeet. Sometime later, Jai moves in with his mother and they put up pictures of the truly-dead son
