Six different couples, 12 different lives, one common problem! That's what sums up Nikhil Advani's magnum opus – Salaam-e-Ishq.

This three and a half hours long epic dwells upon the subject of love. Love is the problem and also the solution to the lives of these six couples. Each couple faces hardships and this movie documents them all, leaving no bit edited.

To cut a long story short (literally), the film is about Tehzeeb (Vidya Balan) and Ashutosh (John Abraham) who are madly in love until Tehzeeb loses her memory in a train accident. Ashutosh stands by her, trying to help her regain her memory.

Then there is Raju (Govinda) and Stephanie (Shannon) in a bizarre "cabbie-loves-foreign-passenger" story. Stephanie has crossed the seven seas to confess her love to her loser boyfriend (Kushaal Punjabi). She travels half of north India with Raju, in a bid to find her boyfriend, who, by the way, is looking for an 'Indian Patni'.

Item queen Kkamini (Priyanka Chopra), whose lifelong ambition has been to star in a Karan Johar movie, decides to fake her way through to get a role in his film. Rahul (Salman Khan), who has loved Kkamini all his life, right from their humble beginnings (from some pub in Dehradun, where she was a singer and he a waiter), decides to play her love interest in order for her to accomplish her plan. No prizes for guessing what happens next… they fall in love.

Couple number four is Gia and Shiven essayed by Ayesha Takia and Akshaye Khanna respectively. Gia loves Shiven and vice versa...
