Film is the story of two lovers, Harinder Singh, known as Harry (Shahid Kapoor) and Aayat (Sonam Kapoor). Harry is a happy-go-lucky Punjabi guy, whereas Aayat is a Kashmiri girl.
In 1992 Aayat (Sonam Kapoor) and her Bua (Aunt) Fatima (Supriya Pathak) escape from Kashmir due to Militancy. Aayat’s parents are murdered by the Militants, thus forcing her Uncle Ghulam Rasool (Kamal Chopra) and her chacha Maharaj Kishan (Anupam Kher) to send her along with her Aunt to Mallukot.
In Mallukot, Aayat meets a young Happy-Go-Lucky boy named Harinder ‘Harry’ Singh (Shahid Kapoor). Harry is the son of a College Professor. He and his friends are popular locals who spend their days goofing around. A Mallukot girl named Rajjo (Aditi Sharma) however nurses a deep crush on Harry, but he constantly rejects her. But when Harry meets Aayat for the first time he is instantly smitten and falls in love with her. Aayat initially is hesitant but later reciprocates his love. They both grow close during the preparations of Pammo’s (Harry’s younger sister’s) wedding. Pammo gets married to Mahinder Pal ‘MP’ Singh (Herry Tangri), Harry’s friend from London. However, after hearing the news of the Demolition of the Babri Masjid the following day, Aayat and her family flee to Mumbai. Aayat does not inform Harry before leaving, making him heartbroken. Meanwhile, Harry gets selected in the Indian Air Force, and he also leaves Mallukot.
In 1999, Harry and Aayat again meet in Edinburgh. Aayat has been staying there for the past seven years, after losing her relative in the 1993 Bombay bombings, and Harry has been sent there by the Indian Air Force on a special assignment. In London, they again grow closer, prompting Aayat’s family to fix her marriage with Harry. Aayat later invites Harry over to her place.
On the day of the visit, however, the Kargil War breaks out, and Harry is immediately recalled to India. On arrival, Harry is posted with a Mirage 2000 Squadron in Jodhpur. Meanwhile, Aayat’s uncle passes away, forcing her entire family to relocate from London back to Mallukot. Aayat and Harry both try to contact each other but fail.
Harry is later deployed to the Adampur Air Base (Gwalior Air Base in reality), where he is attached with No. 7 Squadron “Battleaxes”. Aayat goes to Ahmedabad and from there returns to London.
In order to dislodge the enemy from Tiger Hill, Indian Air Force resorts to heavy aerial bombardment. Harry is selected to lead a special bombing mission over Tiger Hill. The mission is successful but Harry’s aircraft malfunctions, causing him to crash-land. Harry’s left arm becomes semi-paralyzed, requiring two months to recover.
Aayat, meanwhile, has left London. She stays with Akram, a family friend’s son, in New York, while her aunt has returned to Ahmedabad. Two months later, while Harry is in Switzerland for the birth of his nephew, he is convinced by Pammo not to let go of Aayat. He goes in search of her and realizes that she is in New York. However while travelling in a train in Switzerland, Harry spots Aayat with Akram and his son. Mistakenly believing that Aayat is married, he begins to feel that all hope is lost, and decides to completely forget her.
Terrorists bomb New York WTC Towers on 11 September 2001. As a result of these attacks there is a sudden surge in hate Crimes against Muslims in USA and Europe, prompting Akram and Aayat to return to Ahmedabad. Coincidentally, Harry is also in Ahmedabad for his friend’s wedding. Aayat decides to forget Harry and marry Akram.

Pre-production development of the film :
The film shooting done mainly in Edinburgh and India while the Air Force scenes were shot at the Gwalior Air Force Base.The shooting took two years to complete, part of the delay caused by Sonam Kapoor’s illness during the shoot.
In September, the film was denied submission for censorship because the Air Force had objected to a 30 second long aerial action sequence with Shahid Kapoor who plays an Air Force pilot in Mausam. Special permission had been sought and granted to shoot in a real airbase. The Air Force were objecting to a dramatic action fight sequence with Shahid on board a Mirage fighter plane. Mausam producer Sheetal Talwar announced: “We had the script cleared by the Air Force on August 23, 2010. Now suddenly they’re objecting to a sequence after it’s been shot, edited and the film was ready for censoring?” This may also delay in releasing of the film.
