Yeh Lamhe Judaai Ke (translation: "The Moments of Separation") is a 2004 Indian Hindi-language romantic mystery film directed by Birendra Nath Tiwari. The film stars Shah Rukh Khan, Raveena Tandon, Navneet Nishan, Divya Desai, Mohnish Behl and Kiran Kumar.
Written by Anirudh Tiwari, this film completed most of its filming in 1994 but was not released until 9 April 2004. It was an incomplete film whose production halted in 1994, but it was revived using different body doubles for scenes shot in 2004 to complete the film. It was panned by critics and audiences alike and became a box-office bomb.
Jaya lives happily with her family. Her dad, Shekhar, is a big industrialist while her mother orders domestic help from behind the couch. She also has a feisty younger sister, Sheetal, who does her biddings. At her school, Jaya’s best friend is Dushyant, a musically gifted but unfortunately poor student. After learning that Dushyant is short on funds to buy an instrument, she asks her sister Sheetal to ask her father to help Dushyant out. Being a caring and a loving father, he obliges.
One late evening, the father receives an ominous phone call. His brother-in-law is very sick. Jaya’s mother hurriedly leaves for Delhi where her brother lives but en route dies when the plane explodes as they generally do when taking-off.
The movie now jumps forward ten years to 2004. We are introduced to some new characters as they go about their day at BA Nayyar Commerce Science College. Here, it is Professor Pyarelal’s first day as the history professor. He gets a notice to take the students out for a picnic on the coming sunday. He then has a banter with a colleague of his, Profesor Chand Nath, which goes nowhere. However, these pivotal scenes introduce us to a marginal side character, Raj, who plays a minor role in the subplot towards the end of the film.
We are now introduced to grown-up Jaya and Dushyant (JAADU) doing grown-up activities with their friends at a party. Deven Bhojani’s (Dushyant in Sarabhai vs Sarabhai) character starts a round of raunchy Antakshari. As the group of friends sing songs, we get to know Sujit (Jeet ka dusra naam) and Nisha.
