==Plot==
Priya Malhotra ([[Kareena Kapoor]]) is an orphan who hopes to have a family of her own and keeps a diary outlining her dreams and the type of man she wants to meet – someone who does not drink, smoke or tell lies. She is skeptical when her friend Honey's ([[Delnaaz Paul]]) aunt, a card reader, Sunita Rao ([[Kirron Kher]]), predicts that she will go to a foreign land and find the love of her life in seven days. She is pleasantly surprised when she is selected to go to a Youth Festival in [[Bangkok]].

That is where Amit ([[Shahid Kapoor]]) enters. Amit is a complete opposite to what Priya wants in a guy. He smokes, drinks, and lies. Due to his bad habits, Amit is being chased by security and runs into Priya's hostel room. Before he leaves, he sees Priya and falls in love with her. He takes her diary and escapes. He then pretends to be the total guy Priya wants to be with, and the two start a relationship. Soon enough, Priya spots her diary in his room, and realises he had stolen her diary and pretended to be like her dream man. She breaks up with him, and returns to [[Delhi]] to forget about her past.

After she reaches the airport, Amit also arrives, and explains to her that destiny wants them together. Priya does not believe him and therefore challenges him that if destiny did want them together, they would both find them again in future. In order to prove it, she asks Amit to write his name and phone number on a currency note and uses it to buy a [[Numerology]] book, in which she writes her own name and phone number and then she sells it in a market.

If she receives the same note again and if Amit finds that book with her name and number on it, then it will prove that they love each other and its destiny that wants them together. Three years later, Amit is engaged to Sofiya ([[Aarti Chhabria]]) and Priya is engaged to Jatin. However, a week before the marriage, both of them land up in Delhi again looking for each other. After several near misses Priya finds the note and Amit finds the book. The film ends with both of them reuniting and getting married.

==Reception==

===Critical reception===
Upon release, ''Milenge Milenge'' received mixed to negative reviews from critics. Rajeev Masand of ''[[CNN-IBN]]'' gave the film a rating of 1.5 out of 5 and described the film as "regressive, senseless, and packed with plot-holes the size of craters".<ref>{{cite web |title=Masand: 'Milenge Milenge' is regressive |url=http://ibnlive.in.com/news/milenge-milenge-is-regressive-senseless/126340-47-84.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100721005925/http://ibnlive.in.com/news/milenge-milenge-is-regressive-senseless/126340-47-84.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=21 July 2010 |publisher=Ibnlive.com |accessdate=17 July 2010 |author=Rajeev Masand}}</ref> [[Taran Adarsh]] of ''[[Bollywood Hungama]]'' rated it 2/5 and said, "''Milenge Milenge'' has the charismatic lead pair, who are very popular with the youth, as its USP. But the problem is its dated look. Having taken a long time to reach the theatres, it will have to rely on a solid word of mouth to lure the audiences into cineplexes".<ref>{{cite web |last=Adarsh |first=Taran |title=Milenge Milenge Movie Review |url=http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/movies/review/7301/index.html |publisher=Bollywood Hungama |accessdate=17 July 2010}}</ref> Mayank Shekhar of the ''[[Hindustan Times]]'' gave it 1.5/5 saying, "Years since, while the film's main pair may not be friends anymore, have probably knocked each other off their Facebook pages, trashed old kissing pics, tucked away the sweet SMSes, they can't quite disown a new release that celebrates them still. Well. Sucks. I guess!".<ref>{{cite web |last=Shekhar |first=Mayank |title=Review: ''Milenge Milenge'' |url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/cinema-news/reviews/Review-Milenge-Milenge/Article1-569815.aspx |publisher=Hindustan Times |accessdate=17 July 2010|url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100720061711/http://www.hindustantimes.com/cinema-news/reviews/Review-Milenge-Milenge/Article1-569815.aspx |archivedate=20 July 2010}}</ref> Gaurav Malani of ''Indiatimes'' gave the film 2/5 and stated, "Watch it only if you are just interested to see Kareena Kapoor when the term size zero wasn't coined. Else ''Milenge Milenge'' doesn't score too much above zero".<ref>{{cite news |title=Milenge Milenge: Movie Review |url=http://movies.indiatimes.com/articleshow/6142233.cms |publisher=Indiatimes Movies |accessdate=17 July 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100721085016/http://movies.indiatimes.com/articleshow/6142233.cms|archive-date=21 July 2010|url-status=dead}}</ref>
