Hum Tum (Hindi 2004)

A Yash Chopra production starring Saif Ali Khan and Rani Mukerji, Hum Tum is a cute Bollywood movie that tells the story of two friends that fall in love. Meeting on a plane for the first time, playboy Karan flirts with Rhea who expresses interest in his Hum Tum cartoon. They meet accidentally through the next 10 years or so. Karan develops his cartoon strip about a male and female character who have a sparring relationship; Rhea marries and becomes a widow. Eventually, the two begin to spend more time together and develop a relationship which neither can admit to needing for life. Eventually everything works out. What makes the film notable is the HumTum cartoon animation that provides editorial comments on the relationship of the two main characters. Quite cleverly done.
