Plot summary
A stock market crash leaves Akash unable to borrow the twelve million dollars his company owes its shareholders, and he heads for the George Washington Bridge to jump. Kiara, who lives in San Francisco, arrives there too, having found her fiancé Kunal with another woman. The Coast Guard prevents them. A second attempt puts Akash in the path of a car and leaves Kiara with a broken neck; both wake in the same hospital. Because the bank has taken his house, Kiara brings him back to her apartment. More failed attempts follow, and the two settle on a date twenty days away. With that deadline ahead, they set out to do the things they always wanted.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Anjaana Anjaani (2010)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Anjaana Anjaani was made on a production and marketing budget of ₹380 million but recovered ₹430 million — more than its entire budget — before it opened, including ₹220 million from satellite rights and ₹80 million from music rights.
- The ice-skating scenes were shot at Wollman Rink in Central Park, New York, and the rink had to be closed to the public for three consecutive days for the filming.
- The producers first scouted an Indian public bridge for a four-day shoot, but the 2008 Mumbai attacks made government permission difficult, so Kiara and Akash's suicide-attempt scene was shot in Kuala Lumpur instead.
- Director Siddharth Anand had run out of plot ideas for his next film until his wife Mamta suggested the core concept, two suicidal strangers who meet and fall in love, which was based on the 2008 Bengali film Mon Mane Na.
- The vintage red 1963 Ford Falcon Sprint driven by Priyanka Chopra's character Kiara was nicknamed Blush and bought specially for the film, and its interior was reworked with detailing to suit her character.
- Anjaana Anjaani remains director Siddharth Anand's final romantic comedy drama to date; he has since moved into the action thriller genre, where he continues to work.
