Miscellaneous
During the title song, "Kal Ho Naa Ho," at the scene where Aman and Naina are dancing in the night, after Aman touches Naina with the rose, it shows him throw the rose behind him, and at the end of the embrace the rose reappears in his hand.

Errors in Geography
Throughout the film, shots of New York are interposed with similar shots of Toronto. The film tries to make the viewer believe that the Toronto shots are supposedly New York, but the architectural styles and obvious Toronto landmarks are completely different than those found in New York.

Crew/Equipment Visible
In the scene where Aman Mathur enters the kitchen, to look for Rohit Patel, who has gone for a date with Camilla, he and Kanta Bhen have a conversation in the kitchen, in front of the glass door. The reflection of the boom mic is visible on the glass door.

Character Error
At the end of the "Pretty Woman" musical sequence, Jaswinder misses the cue to begin clapping.

Audio/Video Mismatch
In the start of the song, "It's the Time to Disco" the sound of a zipper being opened is heard much before Preity Zinta actually opens the zipper of the jacket.

Audio/Video Mismatch
When Naina returns home from Central Park, her lips say, "St Paul's Cathedral."
Trivia:
Roy Orbison's "Pretty Woman" is featured in the film. Unlike many other Bollywood productions, the filmmakers actually complied with international copyright laws and bought the license to use the song.

Karan Johar had Kareena Kapoor in mind when writing the script, but she charged too much and was replaced by Preity Zinta.

Salman Khan turned down the role played by Saif Ali Khan as he did not want to play second fiddle to Shah Rukh Khan.

Some of the film's scenes were shot in Toronto because of escalated production costs from filming in New York City.
