Abhay Gulati (Imran Khan) and Aaliya Khan (Deepika Padukone) have been friends since childhood. Being the daughter of an actress mother, Aaliya always loved acting. Her father left her and her mother. Abhay�s father wants him to become a businessman and take his legacy forward, whereas Abhay has his interests in cooking. Eventually Abhay and Aaliya start dating but Aaliya does not want to marry. Aaliya gets an opportunity to join an acting school in Australia which she accepts. She lands up in Australia where she is supposed to stay with her very strict aunt. She then moves into a bungalow where a bunch of young people live for cheap. Abhay is paranoid by Aaliya�s decision so he too lands up in Australia. This makes Aaliya feel that Abhay doesn�t trust her leading to their break, the seperation. Abhay starts a restaurant which eventually becomes a successful outlet. Aaliya and Abhay slowly become friends again. Abhay�s father gets to know about his restaurant business. Aaliya finishes her school. Aaliya�s mother, Ayesha (Sharmila Tagore) and Abhay visit Aaliya for her graduation. Aaliya gets an offer for a movie and she signs the contracting without even letting her mother know about it. It enrages Ayesha. Soon Abhay leaves Aaliya too, because he feels she is selfish. Realizing she is wrong and that she can�t go on without her mother�s support, she quits the movie and rushes back to India to get back things on track with her mother. Soon, Ayesha realizes that Aaliya has matured and is strong enough to face the world on her own, so she decides to allow Aaliya for acting in the movies and sends her back to work. break ke baadBreak Ke Baad

However, soon she return to the same Australian city for shooting her movie, and meets Abhay, who tells her he still hasn�t moved on. She apparently, convinces him to move on and get married. A friend tells Aaliya that Abhay is getting married; she is shocked as to why Abhay didn�t tell her this thing. Aaliya rushes to Abhay�s house and finds him getting ready to get married. Aaliya cannot see this, begs him to rethink on marriage and proposes him instantly. She requests him to consider her for one last time. She confesses her love to him and tells him that she is really in love with him. Abhay, realising Aaliya�s regret and love for him, shows her his wedding invitation which has her name, implying he intended to marry her all along. She is happy and they embrace, making up. The end credits show that the two are married, and have a daughter named Sara.
If you squint a little, �Break Ke Baad� doesn�t look much different from an average in 2010-2011, perhaps slightly above average.
For the International viewers, the minor pleasures of the knockabout comedy and the pretty locations (Mauritius stands in for the Australian Gold Coast, where Aaliya escapes from the pressures of home and love) may not completely block out the gender inequities of the screenplay, by Renuka Kunzru, and the direction, by Danish Aslam.
�Break Ke Baad� (�After the Break�), in keeping with the changing face of Bollywood, is played in a mostly naturalistic style, without musical numbers, though there is the erotic application of henna paste. A well-built element of movie nostalgia is present in �Break Ke Baad�, however, with Aaliya and Abhay dating the stages of their friendship and courtship to films like the 1987 �Mr. India� and the 1998 �Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.�
Abhay, the lead actor of the movie dines everyday on Murg Musallam and Paratha, which create a stepping stone in his career as a chef and restaurateur in the long run.

- To make this traditional recipe, you need to prepare a spice mix using nutmeg powder, cardamom, cloves and cinnamon and 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds. Add water and mix it well.

Next, add the ginger- garlic paste, onion paste and green chilly paste in a bowl. Add the ground spices, red chilli powder, turmeric powder in the mixture and mix well
- Then take another bowl and add yogurt. Add the spice paste along with some mustard oil and salt according to your choice. Now add chicken and allow it to marinate in the mixture for an hour. Then take another pan and put the remaining oil, and once the oil is hot enough, add the cumin seeds, bay leaves, green chilies and fry them on medium flame.
- Then add onions and saute them until they turn light brown. If you like the smokiness of onions and garlic, then stir fry on high flame. This will add a nice smokiness to the dish.
- Now add the marinated chicken and cook until the oil begins to separate.
- Then add water as per your taste and cover the chicken. Then sprinkle salt as per your taste. If you want to make this dish more delicious, add a paste of soaked almonds (optional). This will add a creamy texture to this dish.
