The film was originally expected to premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, but was canceled on September 13, 2010; a day before the scheduled premiere because of delays with the film.[2]
The film was originally scheduled for release on July 22nd, it was later postponed to September 16th and due to the delay in obtaining the nod from the Censors, it was pushed back further by a week. The film is slated for a September 23rd 2011 release.
Premise
The story outlines 'Mausam' as a story of timeless love in the face of political hostilities and religious conflict, between a proud Punjabi Air Force Officer, Harry (Shahid Kapoor) and an innocent Kashmiri refugee, Aayat (Sonam Kapoor). Set against a landscape that transcends a decade and spans continents, 'Mausam' is a classic journey that transports one into a world of indestructible bonds of love enveloped by the roulette of destiny. It is a love story beyond romance.

He was taken to the doctor immediately and was advised two days of rest.[3] Shooting resumed on May 20, 2010 and went on until May 25, 2010. The cast and crew left for Switzerland around 24 April 2010 for their last schedule.

Reception
The album received all over positive reviews from critics. Joginder Tuteja from [[Bollywood Hungama]] gave it 4 out of 5 stars and said: "Mausam is a fantastic album and has all the ingredients that make for a popular soundtrack. While 'Sajh Dhaj Ke' and 'Mallo Malli' are the pick of the lot when it comes to instant chartbusters in the making, 'Rabba Main Toh Mar Gaya Oye' and 'Ik Tu Hi Tu Hi' are good enough to enjoy a rather extended shelf life. Just pick this one up!"[5] Planet Bollywood stated: "The soundtrack of Mausam came with humungous expectations and ends up fulfilling the expectations of not just music connoisseurs, but also the lovers of pumped up and universally appealing music. (...) Overall the album is strongly recommended for adding to your music collection as soon as possible!"[6] Rumnique Nannar of Bollyspice gave it 4 out of 5 stars, stating: The soundtrack to Mausam is one of the best Pritam soundtracks in a long while and hits back at all his detractors by showing what he is capable of. The soundtrack mixes both music the masses will love and music connoisseurs too; in short, it is a glorious return for Pritam! There is no real sore track in this album as the situational tracks are equally created with care, there is something for everyone to love on this album. An absolute must listen."[7]
Controversy
The film was in legal trouble in early August 2010, when Pankaj's old friend and former colleague Nawman Malik claimed that the title Mausam is registered under his name and filed a complaint with the Association of Motion Pictures and TV Programme Producers. He was also claiming that the story of Mausam is his. Now, Mallik has moved the Mumbai High Court asking for an injunction against producer Sheetal Talwar and director Pankaj Kapur for using the title. He has demanded a compensation of Rs 1 crore for the title and has even submitted a digital film called Mausam, which he claims he made.[8]
In September, the film was also denied submission for censorship because the Air Force has objected to an 30 second long aerial action sequence with Shahid Kapoor who plays an Air Force pilot in Mausam. Special permission had been sought and granted to shoot in a real airbase. The Air Force were objecting to a dramatic action fight sequence with Shahid on board a Mirage fighter plane. Mausam producer Sheetal Talwar announced: "We had the script cleared by the Air Force on August 23, 2010. Now suddenly they're objecting to a sequence after it's been shot, edited and the film was ready for censoring?"[9]
