[edit] Synopsis
Raincoat is a story of small town hopes and corruption of the big city. It tells the story of love being able to hold out, despite all odds.
The story begins with unemployed Manu (Ajay Devgan), in search of money to finance his new business as he has lost his earlier job at a jute mill. On his quest, he visits his former girlfriend Neeru (Aishwarya Rai) in Calcutta, to whom he was once engaged six years ago. During the rainy evening, the couple reminisce about their former love and how each ended up in their current situation.
[edit] Trivia
- At the end of the movie during credits scrolling, there appears a word, O Henry, an American writer. Among his many short stories, there is one story called The Gift of the Magi, which is about a couple wanting to give a surprise Christmas present to each other. Since this film is based on a story similar to O Henry's The Gift of the Magi, the creators of the film must have paid a tribute to the inspiration.
- Kareena Kapoor was also considered for the role of Neeru
