Circa 1992 Mallukot-based Harinder falls head-over-heels in love with Aayat, who has come to live there with her Bua, Fatimah, from Kashmir. Hoping to woo and marry her, despite of receiving romantic overtures from village belle, Lajjo, he, instead faces heartbreak following the attack on Babri Masjid by right-wing Hindu extremists. Seeking safety in Bombay, Aayat re-locates there with her father and Bua. The couple are then fated to meet in Scotland during 1999 where Harinder is now an Indian Air Force Pilot and Aayat is a ballet dancer. Both meet and re-kindle their romance, as well as set a date for their wedding. Unfortunately, the Kargil war compels Harinder to return home, and Aayat does not hear from him.

I would call myself a fan of Pankaj Kapoor and his acting ability. His style in acting coaxed me to watch Mausam, which I thought would show his brilliance behind the cameras too, but much to my disappointment this movie is a dud.
Shahid Kapoor has come of age in his performances through his previous movies but through out 'Mausam' he looks limited and sealed. Sonam Kapoor for me is acting challenged. This isn't her space and should either leave or learn.
Script wise the movie is a drab. The first half hour is the only bearable part of what is a really unreasonably lengthy movie. The movie doesn't seem to be going anywhere at any point of the almost 160 minutes movie. It has a plot but the same plot has been shown 10 times in the movie with little bit of the air-force jazz in it for no good reason. Songs don't help the movie either.
I sincerely hope, Shahid Kapoor moves onto something better from this as he is an actor with great potential and for Pankaj Kapoor, I still believe one day he can make a great film
