Picturization
editThe song is picturized on Sujata (Aishwarya Rai),[3] and appears when she decides to leave her parents to elope with her boyfriend. In later part Sujata finally leaves her parents.
The video of the song is shot in Kerala where the opening scene of majestic Athirapilly waterfalls is shown and at the villages of Karnataka, the Rayagopura at Melukote temple, and a few more. According to some sources, the majority of rain used in the song is natural as it was monsoon season, hence little artificial rain was needed.
Choreography
editThe dance in the video was choreographed by Saroj Khan, for which she won her eighth Filmfare Best Choreography Award. The dance shows Sujata dancing like one would when it rains. Aishwarya is also seen dancing atop a large rock with water below, amidst the thunderstorm.
