Tamanna (Shilpa Shetty) is the Marketing Executive of an advertising agency. Her sister, Tania whom she looks after, works for a radio station.

During a school reunion, Tamanna meets Rohit (Salman Khan), an old college pal. She has always been secretly in love with him during her college days.

So a chance meeting rekindles their friendship which gradually turns to love.

All is well until Tamanna's sister is involved in a serious accident. Tamanna is asked to donate blood but what she discovers shocks her - she has aids.

Such a revelation has a devastating effect on Tamanna. She turns into a recluse and shuts herself from the outside world.

She tries to contact Rohit but to no avail. He cannot be found. Why? - we are not made aware of his idssappearance at this stage in the film.

When her boss visits her at home she tells him about the medical condition.

But when Tamanna returns to work she gets a bigger shock. Her work mates keeps their distance. Even her work material is moved to a secluded office. She is further humiliated when asked to resign from her job.

A strong willed Tamanna decides to fight back but none of the lawyers are prepared to help her.

Well. . . not until she comes across a young, budding lawyer, Tarun (Abhishek Bachchan).

Will this lawyer be able to restore her job and confidence back? What about Rohit? Why is he not traceable?

Director Revathy deserves praise for tackling a thought provoking issue in her second Bollywood venture.

Such a subject is tackled very rarely in Bollywood. So Phir Milenge comes as a refreshing change.

But I must say, that Revathy has missed out on a crucial point. The director has forgotten to mention that some breakthrough for aids patients does exist.

Nowadays, infected individuals can lead comfortable lives with the aid of therapies and medication. This is not showcased in the film - a key point which should have been echoed throughout the film.

Having said this, the second part which concentrates in court does bring home the issues raised by Tamanna. She fights for her ability to work and be 'normal' despite her medical condition.

Shilpa Shetty gives a subdued performance as the individual who looses all her rights after being diagnosed having aids. This is one of her best performances to date since Dhadkan (meaning heart beat) few years back.

Abhishek Bachchan and Salman Khan give their best although it would have been nice to see more of Salman throughout the film rather than towards the end.

On the whole, Phir Milenge is worth watching due to the portrayal of a sensitive subject not often seen in Bollywood films. A thought provoking Bollywood drama.
