The film is noted for its rare and healthy depiction of male friendship in Bollywood. It steers clear of stereotypical "tough" masculinity, allowing its male protagonists—Arjun, Kabir (Abhay Deol), and Imraan (Farhan Akhtar)—to be vulnerable, cry, and confront their deepest fears. Each adventure in the movie (deep-sea diving, skydiving, and the running of the bulls) serves as a metaphor for overcoming internal psychological barriers, such as the fear of loss, the fear of commitment, and the fear of social judgment.
