Notable Scene: The "Sajan Tumse" reveal. Paired opposite Salman Khan, Katrina’s early scenes relied on her broken Hindi played for charm. However, the song sequence "Sajan Tumse" remains a turning point scene. Dressed in a chiffon saree, the scene captures her as the classic Yash Raj heroine. It is silent, expressive, and ethereal. Critics noted that in this scene, she didn't need dialogue—her dance and the rain did the acting.

This era established Kaif as a box-office force. While often cast for her aesthetic appeal, she showed surprising flair for physical comedy—a skill many of her contemporaries lacked.

Aanchal, the actress with burns on her face and arms, is Katrina’s most "uncomfortable" role. The scene where she reveals her scars to Bobby (Shah Rukh Khan) is painful to watch.
