One day he meets with Kiran Choudhary (Dia Mirza), who has come on a holiday trip with a group of girls. He offers to show her around and they fall in love with each other. Suraj is unable to see her home by the train as his dad has chest pains and has to be rushed to the hospital. But Suraj is unable to get Kiran out of his mind and heart. Before his sister gets married, the family decide to relocate to Mumbai, where Suraj enlists in College and makes several new friends, as well as becomes a popular basketball player. He eventually meets Kiran and both renew their romance. Ranvir Choudhary (Vinod Khanna) does not appreciate the attention of a poor man like Suraj on his daughter, and has Suraj brought up before him and introduced to his many friends, which include prominent lawyers, politicians, high ranking civil and municipal employees, the police commissioner as well as the state chief minister. Suraj is warned of dire consequences if he and his family do not leave town immediately. Suraj does not leave town, and hell descends on his family and himself.

With so much pressure on him, will Suraj relent and leave the city, or will he let his dad rot in prison? Ranvir has sworn to kill Suraj, and if he does so, what will happen to Suraj’s mom?
