What happens

Cigarette ki tarah Ki Tarah (transl. Like a cigarette) is a 2012 Indian Hindi-language romantic thriller film directed by Akashaditya Lama, featuring Bhoop Yaduvanshi, Prashant Narayanan, Madhurima Tuli and Sudesh Berry. The film was produced under the banner of P. Y. Films Pvt. Ltd. While the music was composed by Sudeep Banerjee, Kavita Seth, Ankur Mishra and Viraj Sawant, the lyrics have been written by Ajay Jhingran, Kaushal Kishore and Dev Shukla. Vivek Yadav and Longines Fernandes were the choreographers. A dispute between the director and producers over the film's editing led to a lawsuit in the Mumbai High Court, and eventually to what the director called a "compromise" and an "edited version that did not meet my creative vision".
