Where did you watch this movie?

During 1996 Raj Sharma, while in Switzerland, meets with Amritsar-based Mahi Pasricha, successfully woos, then dumps her. Then in 2002, he meets with aspiring model, Radhika, who is also attracted to him, and both move-in to live together in a small apartment in Mumbai. When he gets the opportunity to settle in Sydney, Australia, he dumps her and re-locates there. Now it is 2006, and Raj has met a brilliant taxi-driver, Gayatri, who he falls in love with. The question remains, will his attraction again be temporary? And what will be the consequences if Gayatri finds out about his past?
Did you know? The title track "Bachna Ae Haseeno", was originally sung by Kishore Kumar in the film Hum Kisise Kum Naheen (1977) and was filmed on actor Rishi Kapoor. The track for this film retained some of Kishore Kumar's vocals in the beginning of the song, and Kishore Kumar's son Sumeet Kumar sang the rest of the song with Vishal Dadlani's rap lyrics. The final product turned out to be unique mix with the legendary singer Kishore Kumar and his son heard in one single track in which the recording is separated by decades and filmed on Rishi Kapoor's son Ranbir Kapoor.

Miscellaneous
During the party scene in Raj's house, the song that is being played is Jhoom Barabar Jhoom, but then neither the song nor the film had released when this story was supposedly taking place.

Miscellaneous
In the scene where Mahi misses the train, she is shown reading Harry Potter & The Half-Blood Prince. Even the first book in the Potter series wasn't released in 1996.

Continuity
When Gayatri rejects Raj's wedding proposal, he goes through a flashback of how he had betrayed Mahi and Radhika before. In the flashback, he sees Radhika crying at the place where they were supposed to meet for their wedding. He was already on a flight to Sydney when that happened.

Factual Mistake
Raj works at Microsoft in Sydney as a game developer who made Halo 3. But Microsoft was just the publisher of Halo 3. Halo 3 was developed by Bungie Studios.

Miscellaneous
While playing in Swiss Alps, Ranbir and his friends are heard singing "Dhoom Machale". The story in this movie revolves around 1996 and Dhoom wasn't released until 2004. However, background music is rarely dictated by which time period the film is in.
Trivia:
Katrina Kaif was to be in the film but was removed because it was becoming too lengthy.
