SYNOPSIS -  "What can you say about a relationship that's over? Except that it was fun, intriguing, exciting, exhilarating and truly rocking!" Khwahish traces the relationship of Lekha Khorzuvekar and Amar Ranawat from the time they meet in a clothing store in Pune three months before they graduate from college, through the ups and downs that modern urban couples experience, to the end of their relationship five years later.

Finally!!  We get to see the hot hunk Himanshu Malik after "Tum Bin."  I was wondering what was up with this guy.  We already seen Priyanshu Chatterjee in "Aapko Pehle Bhi Kahin Dekha Hai" and "Dil Ka Rishta;" Rakesh Bapat in his small roles "Dil Vil Pyar Vyar" and seeing trailers to his never releasing movie "Kuch Dil Na Kaha." No forthcoming films were mentioned on Himashu except for just "Line of Control" but that movie already has a huge star cast so Himanshu won't even be noticed as much.  Then "Khwahish" came.  I was interested to see it for two reasons.  1 - Himashu & 2 - the storyline.

I didn't realize how hot Himanshu really was until I saw "Tum Bin" again.  Gosh, he has that sexy look...that model look.  I used to think Priyanshu was really cute until someone told me he looked like Jeff Goldblum...since then, I can't picture him as fine, more like cute.  Rakesh was always a cutie pie but he needs to pick quality movies too.  Himanshu acted very well in "Tum Bin" also but the movie was Priyanshu's all the way.

Newcomer    was irritating at times but that was because of her character.  It was not developed well enough.  She looked great, had a great figure but all she was in the movie was a model cause she wore skimpy outfits and kept saying that she had a great figure...hahaha.  

The storyline was a bit different.  From the trailers and promos, it looked like it had a lot of sexuality.  But who knows, look at "Jism."  Everyone thought the movie would have a lot of sex but it didn't.  That was not the movie's main focus.  What made "Khwahish" a dumb movie was the fact that the couple ONLY married so they could have sex with each other.  Not a very strong plot.  It could have been better.  The climax came too late in the movie and everything was out of focus.

I almost turned off the movie but made myself watched the rest because I rented it.  Movie is definitely not worth watching unless you're really really bored.
