Summary
Suraj Saxena (Arjun Rampal) lives with his father (Om Puri), his mother (Smita Jaykar) and his sister (Amita Nangia) in a village in the mountains. One day, he encounters Kiran (Dia Mirza) who has come with a travelling group to spend her vacation there. Suraj befriends her - and they fall in love. However, Kiran returns to Mumbai and Suraj, lost without her, moves there with his family, as his father finds there a new job anyway. Suraj meets her again and they quickly develop a relationship. However, Ranvir Choudhary (Vinod Khanna), opposes the relation very much, as Suraj comes from a middle class family and Ranvir himself is very rich and influential. He tries to force Suraj's family out of town and even imprisons Mr. Saxena. Kiran however pays the bail for Mr. Saxena and frees him. Ranvir Choudhary, who fears for his daughter's and his own reputation if she marries Suraj, sends men to beat up Suraj's friends to intimidate Suraj - who proceeds to beat Ranvir's men up, after he has heard about it. Kiran stops him before he can kill one of them and shortly afterwards, Mr. Chaudhary appears to take Kiran home. Before he can do so, however, Suraj puts the necklace he has received from Kiran around her neck and announces that, though Mr. Chaudhary can take her with him, she is now his possession due to Hindi marriage rites and that he awaits Mr. Chaudhary sending Kiran back to him along with a mangalsutra. Mr. Chaudhary sends a group of his men to Suraj's appartement complex, where a fight ensues. Suraj manages to beat the entire group, as well, as their leader Shankar Deshpande (Sharat Saxena). Mr. Chaudhary phones Deshpande to ask how the fight went and Suraj, answering Deshpande's cell tells Mr. Chaudhary that he has one and that he, Suraj, will leave the city, as he cannot take it anymore. Mr. Chaudhary arrives at the scene, demanding where Kiran is and starts to beat up Suraj, until he cannot stand anymore. Suraj informs Mr. Chaudhary that he will either give Kiran to him or kill him. In the end, Mr. Chaudhary, realizing that there is someone who loves his daughter more than he himself, accepts Suraj's and Kiran's relationship.
