Source-derived summary

I, Me Aur Main (transl. I, me and myself) is a 2013 Indian Hindi-language romantic comedy film directed by Kapil Sharma. It stars John Abraham, Prachi Desai and Chitrangada Singh in lead roles. The film was released on 1 March 2013 and received mixed-to-negative reviews from critics.

Plot

Ishaan (John), a charismatic, good-looking, self-centered, pompous, dependent and coquettish music producer from Mumbai, lives a sheltered existence as the apple of his mother's eye, always protected by his elder sister Shivani. He lives with his girlfriend Anushka (Chitrangdha) and takes her for granted. One day Anushka kicks him out of her house due to his irresponsibility about their relationship.

His new neighbor Gauri (Prachee) comes into his life, and he begins to fall in love with her. Ishaan is forced out of his company, and Gauri encourages him to start his own music company. While Ishaan is working on his music, Anushka is pregnant with his child but decides not to tell him that he is the father. A few days later, Ishaan learns that his ex-girlfriend is pregnant with his child.

Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Main and film providing the first useful test.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “I, Me Aur Main”, the useful work is to connect “2013 film” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.

Evidence profile

Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 11, 2026.

Critical limits

Titles can refer to several editions, objects or performances, making precise identification essential before interpretation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
