Plot
editDushant, Jaya, Sujit and Nisha are childhood friends. Dushant aspires to become a successful singer but has little money. Jaya helps him to realize his ambitions. As Dushant achieves success, a rift is created between the two of them. Sujit and Nisha take undue advantage of this to get close to Dushant and create a misunderstanding between him and Jaya. Kamlesh Dhingra, Nisha's father, approaches Dushant for financial assistance for his business venture but is turned down by Rajpal, Dushant's mentor. Dhingra and Sujit plot to amass Dushant's wealth by luring Dushant to marry Nisha and getting rid of Rajpal. Dushant learns of this plot. When Sujit is murdered, Rahul, a police officer, comes to investigate the murder. Nisha is also murdered under mysterious circumstances and Dhingra is also murdered in the same way. In the end it is revealed that it was Jaya's father who committed the murders in vengeance for the murder of his daughter.

Critical reception
editPlanet Bollywood wrote "There is no point. Let me just tell you how desperate the filmmaker was to make this movie. The voices of the actors are so horrendous that you feel like crying. The actors look so jaded that they aren’t acting at all. The plot moves so slowly that you can actually predict the very next scene and solve the murder mystery too."[3] Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama gave the film 1 out of 5, writing, "Frankly, watching YEH LAMHE JUDAAI KE is akin to watching two films within one film. If the film begins with the SRK - Raveena track, the other track crops up from nowhere and that involves a bunch of newcomers, all non-actors."[4]
