A story bout a relationship that's ended. Khwahish traces the sexy, funny and intense relationship of Amar Ranawat(Himanshu Malik) and Lekha Khorzuvekar (Mallika Sherawat) from the time they meet in the last semester of college, their quirky romance, marriage and its ups and downs to the tragic end five years later. Probably the first Bollywood musical about the trials and tribulations of a young Indian urban couple.

Khwahish () is a 2003 Indian Hindi romance film presented by Akbar Arabiyan (Mojdeh and Mojtaba Movies) and directed by Govind Menon. The film stars Himanshu Malik and Mallika Sherawat.

==Plot== Amar is a rich and stubborn man. He meets Lekha in a shop. While Lekha is poor (the daughter of a poultry farmer), she is a happy, frank, and straightforward girl. When Amar and Lekha study in college, they spend time together and finally fall in love. After the exams, Amar cannot take the separation and proposes to her. Her father Ulhas befriends Amar and accepts the marriage. However, Amar's wealthy politician father does not, as he cannot reconcile to the difference in status. Also, he wants his son to complete his studies first before getting married. Amar breaks contact with his father and marries Lekha. The married couple move into their new little home, but after days of happiness and good times, medical reports indicate Lekha has leukemia.
