There he meets Ria. He takes photos of her while working out without permission and publishes them in the magazine. The magazine becomes a huge hit because of those pictures. Vispy (Ravi Baswani) the chief editor of the magazine wants Ria to model for their magazine but she refuses because she is angry at Jai for publishing her pictures without asking her.

Ria, calls Jai to talk about their marriage and he invites her home. She goes to his house and gets a shocking surprise when she meets Geeta, Jai's wife. Shaken and completely distraught by the reality, Ria slips into depression after a wild car drive.

Ria eventually confesses her feelings to Jai who gets shocked to hear her story. Unable to control the situation and seeing Ria weeping continuously, Jai tells her that he would have accepted her love happily if not married. Ria leaves Jai in a depressing state. The same night Jai tells Geeta everything which shuns Geeta. Jai vows to stay away from Ria. However, Ria starts to get possessive about Jai and unable to forget him. She makes a suicide attempt, calls him in the middle of the night. Jai has no choice but to save Ria and console her. This troubles Geeta and she threatens Jai to file a police complaint against her. Jai and Geeta mend their relationship and goes out for a hangout while an obsessive Ria keeps thinking about Jai and waits for his phone calls. The same night, Ria breaks down while talking to Jai on phone and he consoles her again. This angers Geeta even more.

Geeta picks up Ria's call and tells her to not call Jai again ever. Meanwhile, Jai gets an invitation to a party from Vispy. Jai attends the party with Geeta not knowing that Ria has also been invited. A possessive Ria now wants Jai at any cost and openly flirts with him in front of Geeta. Geeta leaves the party fuming. At home, Jai and Geeta have a huge argument and Geeta leaves the house in anger. After few minutes while walking on the road, Geeta realizes her mistake and decides to go back but before her, Ria breaks into the house and starts getting intimate with Jai. Geeta enters the house and loses control to see them. In a fit of rage and anger, she accidentally falls on to a glass table and hurts her head badly. Jai takes her to the hospital and have her treated.

Meanwhile, Ria reaches the hospital and tells Geeta that she should move out of this relationship and let her and Jai live happily. Geeta quashes her claims about Jai loving her. She tells Ria instead that nothing can break their relationship and It is she whom Jai loves not her. Jai decides to leave the city because of Ria's obsessive nature. He gets a call from Ria who asks him to meet one last time at the studio for all time's sake. Jai agrees but instead decide to go to meet Mr Jaiswal and tell him all the truth. At Jaiswal's house, Jai calls Geeta and she picks up the phone while someone is knocking at the door. As soon as Geeta opens the door, a sharp knife attacks her and takes her by surprise.

It's Ria who has become totally unstable and obsessive. She attempts to kill Geeta so that she can win Jai's love. Geeta tries to escape, hide, dodge Ria many times during the attack but fails. Finally Ria gets a hold of her and is about to kill Geeta until Jai arrives. Jai pleads Ria to let Geeta go and he will break up his relationship with Geeta in order to be with her. Ria, after convinced by Jai's pleading and promise lets go Geeta and run towards Jai's arms but Jai instead slaps her hard and it makes her unconscious and mentally unstable. Mr Jaiswal arrives at Jai's house and is shocked to see Ria in such a state. Jai and Ria tells Mr Jaiswal for what happened and what she really did.

Six months later, Geeta and Jai are happy with their life while Ria is housed at a mental hospital. Her father arrives at Jai's house asking for one last time to meet her as it's her birthday and it's only him that can make any impact on her.

The music and background score was composed by Sandeep Chowta. The film's soundtrack was one of the most successful to come out from that year. "Kambhkht Ishq" and the title track became a rage among the youth. "Kambhkht Ishq" took its entire musical structure from the Afro Celt Sound System song "Eireann" without any credit to them. For one of the songs "Mujhko Khuda Ne De Diya" Sandeep Chowta reused his own cult hit "Devudu Karunisthadani" from Telugu film Prema Katha.

All lyrics are written by Nitin Raikwar.

The film received mixed to positive reviews with Matondkar's performance being praised the most. Taran Adarsh from Bollywood Hungama wrote "the 'actual hero' of the film is definitely Urmila Matondkar, who will walk away with all laurels at the end of the day. Her career-best performance, she oozes intensity, love, hate, relentlessness and obsessive behaviour with perfection. And despite the fact that her character gets nuttier as the movie tags along, it is to Urmila's credit that we are able to feel for her pathetic persona.[8]

Planet Bollywood wrote "Performances by the cast were all first rate. Fardeen does a great job in the film. He has a confident screen presence, and he is overcoming is anglicized accent well. His emotional scenes still need a little work, but otherwise he is very good here. Sonali Kulkarni also does a competent job. Geeta isn't a complex character but she is very insecure, yet understanding. Sonali does a great job in bringing her emotional issues across well on screen and makes Geeta an extremely convincing character. The star of the show is Urmila who is simply mind blowing in this film. The film is sure to get her nominated for best actress or even in some cases best villain. Not only does she look amazing, but she acts so well it will leave you speechless. If you hate everything else in the film, her performance will surely win you over! Her last two scenes in the film are simply breath taking. Ladies and gentlemen stand up and applaud this fantastic performance! [9]

Apunka Choice Wrote "Urmila grooves in perfectly as Riya. She convincingly portrays erratic moods of a person. He bubbly buoyancy will not go unnoticed. Particularly laudable is her depiction of two different shades of a same person. First, as vulnerable as any other girl and later a suicidal, she-of-the-killer-instinct, a la Glen Close in Hollywood hit Fatal Attraction, Urmila gives a power-packed performance." [4]
