The film begins with Aditya Sehgal and his friends looking for Aditya's wife Suhani Sehgal, after she went missing a few days after having a fight with Aditya over their failing marriage. Aditya, however, realizes that he loves her more than anything and is devastated that he is unable to find her. The film goes into a flashback.
Aditya and Suhani meet at a wedding. Aditya immediately falls in love with her and pursues her, however, Suhani believes that he is simply flirting with her, though later realizes that she is falling in love with him. However, Aditya's rich lifestyle and Suhani's middle-class lifestyle creates a rift between their parents where Aditya's father Om Sehgal insults Suhani's father. Nonetheless, Aditya and Suhani elope and get secretly married. However, when a proposal comes for Suhani's elder sister, Suhani divulges that she is married, causing her to be thrown out of her house. At the same time, Aditya's parents learn of the marriage and throw Aditya out. Aditya and Suhani decide to cut ties with their parents and move into a small house and begin their married life together.
However, a misunderstanding occurs between Aditya and Suhani where Suhani accuses Aditya of having an affair causing the two to get into argument. A few hours later, while walking home, Suhani gets involved in a car accident, seriously injuring her. Aditya, having no idea of the accident, waits for her to return home assuming they would reconcile.
Aditya eventually realizes that Suhani is missing and begins to look for her. Aditya is then informed that Suhani met with an accident and is in the ICU of a hospital in critical condition. Aditya arrives at the hospital and learns that Suhani has been registered under a different name. Yeshwant Rao, an IAS officer, reveals to Aditya that he caused the accident and admitted Suhani to the hospital. Aditya threatens Yeshwant and leaves, however he learns from Yeshwant's wife, Savitri, that she caused the accident, and that Yeshwant took the blame, merely trying to protect her. The two shed tears before Yeshwant and Savitri leave. Suhani eventually regains consciousness and Aditya runs to her and expresses the pain and suffering he went through while searching for her. Suhani reciprocates her feelings towards Aditya and the two embrace.
The film was announced by Mani Ratnam and Yash Chopra under the banner of Yash Raj Films. It is a remake of the Tamil film Alaipayuthey, that was directed by Ratnam. It marks the directorial debut of Shaad Ali.[5]
Abhishek Bachchan was Ali's first choice for the role of Aditya. Bachchan refused and the role went to Vivek Oberoi.[6] Ali cast Rani Mukerji as Suhani. Mukerji initially refused the offer as she disliked the idea of remaking an accomplished film but was convinced to accept the part by the film's producer Aditya Chopra.[7]
There are 9 songs composed by A. R. Rahman and lyrics by Gulzar. A. R. Rahman re-used all of his compositions from the soundtrack of the Tamil film Alaipayuthey, with the exception of two songs, "Mere Yaar Mila De" and "Naina Milaike" which replaced their Tamil counterparts "Evano Oruvan" and "Alaipayuthey". The soundtrack turned out to be one of the strong points of the film. Saathiya won most of the music awards, despite facing tough competition from Devdas (2002).[8] A. R. Rahman and Sonu Nigam won Best Music Director and Best Male Playback for "Saathiya", respectively. According to the Indian trade website Box Office India, with around 20,00,000 units sold, this film's soundtrack album was the year's second highest-selling, behind Humraaz.[9]
For the soundtrack, the songs, "Alaipayuthey" and "Evano Oruvan" were not re-composed from the Tamil version. Instead, Rahman composed a Sufi track "Mere Yaar Mila De" and "Naina Milaike", a classical number. Lyricist Gulzar, who wrote all the Hindi version songs, stated, "In Saathiya I wrote 'Mere Yaar Mila De', which isn't a typical romantic number though it's essentially a love song."[10] Unlike previous soundtracks recorded by Rahman for Ratnam, the former composed majority of the songs by fusing the classical carnatic music genres into moderns rhythms.[citation needed]
Saathiya is considered as one of the most popular romantic drama in Hindi cinema. Breaking the Bollywood stereotypes, the film was regarded for not showcasing a "Happily Ever After" story.[22] The film was Vivek Oberoi's third success in his debut year.[23] It brought recognition to Rani Mukerji who enjoyed only limited success in her previous films. Her performance has been noted as one of her most notable works.[24][25] The song "Chalka Chalka", was used in the 2008 English film The Accidental Husband.[26]

Dosto se jhutee mutee dusro kaa naam le ke phir meree baate karna
Yaara raat se din karna
Lambee judaayee teree bada mushkil hai aaho se dil bharna
Yaara raat se din karna
Kab yeh puree hogee, dur yeh duree hogee, roz safar karna
Yaara raat se din karna
Chupke se chupke se raat kee chaadar tale
Chaand kee bhee aahat naa ho, baadal ke pichhe chale
Jale katara katara, gale katara katara
Raat bhee naa hile aadhee aadhee, yeh
Chupke se chupke se r lag ja gale, raat kee chaadar tale
Farvaree kee sardiyo kee dhup me, mundee mundee ankhiyo se dekhana
Haath kee aad se
Nimee nimee thand aur aag me, haule haule maarva ke raag me
Mir kee baat ho
Din bhee naa dube, raat naa aaye, shaam kabhee naa dhale
Shaam dhale toh subah naa aaye, raat hee raat chale
Chupke se chupke se raat kee chaadar tale
Chaand kee bhee aahat naa ho, baadal ke pichhe chale
Tujh bina pagalee yeh purvaaye, aake meree chunaree me bhar gayee
Tu kabhee aise hee, gale lag jaise yeh purvayee
Aa gale lag jaise yeh purvayee, saathiya sun tu
Kal jo mujhako nind naa aaye, paas bula lena
Godee me apnee sar rakh lena, loree suna dena
With false names and half-lies,
talk of me all night with friends,
but keep us in disguise.
Long separation and anxious sighs,
ceaseless night and awaited sunrise,
When will darkness break and light awake?
When will these distances fade?
Days and nights keep lingering,
for how long do we keep wandering?
