Life is harsh and uneasy to some people but it is the way of facing it that makes us fight hard times. The experience and emotions influence our decisions that we take in our life. Filhaal is a movie that displays how unpredictable life is. Though we can’t control but we can live our life one moment at a time. The story of the movie revolves around four people Rewa ( Tabu ), Dhruv ( Sanjay Suri ), Sia ( Sushmita Sen ) and Saahil ( Palash Sen ) whose lives get inter connected due to twist of fate.

Rewa and Sia are best friends since their childhoods when they met each other in Kindergarten. Both had different goals in their lives; while Sia was an ambitious and career oriented girl, the romantic Rewa wanted to live a romantic life with her husband and children.

The movie is the story of these girls and how they handle life.

1.    Dil ke sannate khol kabhi, Tanhaai tu bhi bol kabhi
2.    Jo bhi likha hai, dil se jiya hai, Yeh lamha filhaal jee lene de
3.    Kyun Baar Baar Aankhon Mein Tum Karwat Lete Ho
4.    Le chalen doliyon mein tumhe, Gar iraada karo
5.    Naya naya, dhula dhula, Haan, aasmaan khula
6.    Sola singaar karke godi bharaayi le, Saiyyaan, saiyyaan
7.    Waqt ka saaya kisne daala hai, Ho rahega jo hone waala hai
