Tujhe Meri Kasam

Rishi Ritesh Deshmukh and Anju Genelia D’Souza are childhood buddies who share a remarkable born-at-the-same-hospital bond. Their families were best friends during college years and now live as neighbors, creating a tight-knit circle where the two grow up side by side. Their lives unfold in tandem, right down to attending the same college class, which makes their connection feel inevitable and deeply intertwined with each other’s days.

Akash [Raja Bherwani] is a supremely talented singer who develops feelings for Anju after she spontaneously joins him on stage at a college function. The trio sets off for Bangalore for a week of inter-college competitions, and this journey marks the first time Rishi experiences a pang of distance from Anju. He finds himself missing her more than he understands, even as he tries to sort out the fluttering mix of friendship and growing emotion.

Back home, Sarro, the maid, often teases Rishi about his longing for Anju, planting a seed of realization. Her light jabs begin to surface a truth he hadn’t fully acknowledged: his heart has quietly shifted toward loving Anju. The moment is gentle but undeniable, nudging him to confront a new, more vulnerable layer of their lifelong friendship.

Rishi carefully plans to express his feelings and buys a small gift along with a greeting card for Anju to find upon her return. When Anju reveals that Akash has proposed, she seeks Rishi’s counsel on what to say. He urges her to consider her own happiness and, if she genuinely likes Akash, to accept the proposal. In a quiet, tense moment, Anju discovers the card tucked away in a drawer, and Rishi hastily closes it, underscoring the complexity of choosing between friendship and love while trying to protect a cherished bond.

The engagement storyline accelerates as Akash’s grandmother comes to Anju’s home to arrange the marriage. Akash’s family envisions a future together that would take Anju away to the USA, leaving behind the life she has known. This looming future unsettles Anju, who fears losing the closest thing she has to a confidant in Rishi. Rishi’s skeptical, almost detached assertion that “it’s part of life and inevitable” cuts deep, highlighting the emotional distance that now sits between the two friends.

As the ceremony proceeds, Anju’s resolve weakens, and she rejects the idea of a life split between love and friendship. She does not want to be torn away from the familiar warmth she shares with Rishi, but she knows the social expectations and family plans are pressing. The weight of this choice crushes the moment, and Rishi’s restrained sorrow becomes a counterpoint to Anju’s growing frustration with a destined path she hadn’t anticipated.

In the end, the tension comes to a head at the station, just as a basketball match takes Rishi out of state. Anju accompanies him to the train platform, and the two share a final, poignant moment that echoes their shared childhood. Onlookers, including their parents, realize that what they feel for each other is not simply a passing whim but a deep current running beneath friendship. The parents decide to support them rather than push them apart, signaling a readiness to reevaluate the planned marriage and allow Rishi and Anju the chance to rewrite their own story together. The film closes on a note of hopeful ambiguity, suggesting that true closeness can endure—even if it means rewriting expectations and finding a new path forward.
