Before you can say "karmic intervention," Kimberly dies in a freak accident and Rahul is devastated. The chemistry Rahul Khanna and Lisa Ray bring to it does a lot of the heavy lifting. Bollywood/Hollywood came out in 2002. The timing in Bollywood/Hollywood is precise enough that even the throwaway lines land on a second watch. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.
