Plot
The film tells the story of a girl named Tanya (Esha Deol) who learns that she was adopted by Colonel Ravi Kapoor and his wife when he rescued her from a burning hospital. This leads Tanya to go on a journey in search of her biological parents.
The first man she visits is the ruler of a patriarchal district in Rajasthan, Abhay Rana Pratap Singh (Vinod Khanna), where female infanticide is common. However, it is revealed that Manjuri, brought up as Singh’s niece, is his actual daughter. Her nanny had hidden the truth from everyone and even Rana Pratap hadn’t known that his wife had given birth to a baby girl before dying in a fire.
Tanya then travels to Turkey to meet Altaf Zardari (Rishi Kapoor). Zardari and his non-Indian wife live a peaceful life, but the wife doesn’t remember losing her baby girl in the fire that demolished the hospital Tanya was born in. Tanya helps her regain her memory about the incident and accept her daughter’s death. A heartbroken Tanya returns to India to her foster parents.
She then embarks on one last mission to find her father – this time to see Tony Castello (Dharmendra), a mafia leader. Initially doubtful of her, Tony meets up with his ex-flame, Susan (Hema Malini), who is now a nun. Eventually, after a gang fight, Tony accepts Tanya as his daughter and the movie ends with Tanya and her best friend (Arjan Bajwa) marrying in a church, with all four of Tanya’s fathers walking her down the aisle.
