Naghme hain, shikwe hain,
Kisse hain, baatein hain,
Baatein bhool jaati hain,
Yaadein yaad aati hain,
Yeh yaadein kisi dilo jaanam ke,
Chale jaane ke baad aati hain.
Yaadein...

"YAADEIN is all about being in love with your family, just by adding the element of friendship," Subhash Ghai tells me, sipping a cup of hot coffee.

The director is getting ready with the pre-release publicity of YAADEIN, which he describes as his most ambitious project to date. "It is, from the beginning to the end, a non-stop emotional roller coaster with a storyline you will never expect and characters you cannot forget," he says.

This time around, the making of YAADEIN was more of a picnic for Ghai and his team. "It's an experience I'll always cherish. It was a picnic for us, as well as serious business when we got down to work. You can see everybody's heart and soul in every frame of the film," Ghai sounds emotional when he says this.

An eagerly-awaited film, YAADEIN is all set to release next week all over.

A brief character-sketch of the important characters of the film. An IndiaFM exclusive.

Jackie Shroff is Raj Singh Puri, who has lived in London as middle-class man for 24 years with his beautiful wife and three wonderful daughters.

Hrithik Roshan is Ronit Malhotra. Although born in a rich family, he is closest to his great friends, Uncle Raj and his three daughters, especially Isha.

Kareena Kapoor is Isha Singh Puri, the youngest daughter. But she was given the heaviest emotional burden, particularly from her father as well as Ronit.

Kiran Rathod is Monishka Rai, who can never forget her experiences with Ronit, who swept her off her feet within an instant.

Avni Vasa is Avantika Singh Puri, the eldest daughter who is supposed to deal with every household problem, before and after her marriage, particularly those of her papa.

Himani Rawat is Sania Singh Puri, the middle one, a bit of a brat. She believed in the motto, 'My life is my life', until one day when she got a shock.

Supriya Karnik is Nalini Malhotra, who never got too attached to her British-born son Ronit, until one day he spoke to her with a heavy voice and said, 'Mummy...'.

Anang Desai is L.K. Mahotra, Raj's best friend, Ronit's father and J.K. Malhotra's brother. They don't agree with each other, but what could he do?

Amrish Puri is J.K. Malhotra, for whom all emotions and relations can be taken care of by one factor -- money. This is his belief and he doesn't care whether you agree with him or not.

YAADEIN is Hrithik's fourth release and Kareena's third and its opening is expected to be phenomenal.
