But she gave up the sport presumably because it reminded her of her father too much. Despite being caught, both Rumi and Vicky are insatiable and continue to meet in her room, till they are caught again. The family gives Rumi 2 days to produce Vicky with his parents to ask for her hand in marriage. But Vicky has cold feet and keeps avoiding Rumi's request to bring his parents over and ask her hand in marriage.

Kakaji knows that Rumi's affair with Vicky is not hidden from anyone. He visits Rumi's grandfather, who says that the affair is over and that he trusts Rumi not to dishonor the family. Rumi decides to elope with Vicky and leaves with him early in the morning before anyone wakes up. She realizes that while Vicky is there for her but has not thought anything for their future. Vicky had no money, no idea where they were going, and has no clue what they will be doing next. Vicky didn't even know if they were headed to Delhi or Shimla. As such they have no option but to go back. Vicky admits that he is not responsible and hence he also shies away from marrying Rumi, but he also says that he is the only one who can satisfy her sexually. They are both equally passionate about sex. Again, Vicky decides to bring his parents over to ask for Rumi's hand in marriage. Rumi's family have to say no to Robbie's family (who were about to come to meet Rumi later the same day), in a huge embarrassment.

She says that she offered to get engaged and Vicky refused, and now he won't let her get married to anyone else. Vicky's parents also agree with Rumi.

Siddharth/Sidhu (Abhishek Bachchan) comes to New Delhi to further his studies and stays with his sister Esha (Ayesha Jhulka) from Allahabad. Siddharth is forced to stay with Esha by his parents, but he doesn't like his brother-in-law Rajeev (Mukesh Rishi). It was an arranged marriage and the youngsters in the house didn't like an unimpressive Rajeev as a suitable match for Esha. Rajeev is a simple, bespectacled man and Esha is extremely beautiful. During their first meeting, Rajeev had heard Sidhu complain to his father that Rajeev is not a good match for Esha. Yet, Esha is happy with Rajeev and has never been given the opportunity to complain about anything. When Siddharth gets to Delhi, the unsaid tension continues between him and Rajeev. Rajeev gives his scooter to Siddharth for conveyance. Rajeev does say much to Sidhu as he is concerned that Sidhu will be offended. Sidhu refuses the scooter and says that he will take the bus. Siddharth's spoiled friend Ganesh (Vijay Raaz) trails behind him and arrives in Delhi later, after Ganesh was kicked out of the house by his father Ram Prasad Shastri (Aanjjan Srivastav) for being a total and useless bum. Ram Prasad laments that Ganesh was notorious from kindergarten through to college, and even now could not hold on to a job. Ganesh says that he is not interested in becoming a bookkeeper for Rs 20/day, as the job can be done by a simple calculator. Siddharth, through perceived destiny and chance, runs into Jhanvi (Bhumika Chawla) on a DTC bus. Siddharth falls in love with Jhanvi, who belongs to a conservative Haryanvi family. Sidhu and Jhanvi keep running into each other at different spots in the city, but Jhanvi manages to hide from Sidhu, leaving him confused. Eventually Sidhu figures out the route that Jhanvi takes to her college and waits for her. Jhanvi's elder brother Ganpat (Mahesh Manjrekar) is a head of the family who is very protective of his family, mainly his sister, after the loss of their parents. Ganpat has already cut the hand of a Romeo who dared to follow Jhanvi and gave her a love letter. He is very critical of inter cast marriages and metes out the same treatment to other boys who fall in love with girls of his community. Only Ganpat's uncle (Goga Kapoor) is able to control his limitless rage. Initially, Jhanvi brushes off Siddharth's constant attempts to be with her (in the bus, in the temple, at the bookstore or at the mall) in order to keep him safe from Ganpat. An encounter with the thugs (Ganpat sensed that some boy was harassing Jhanvi at college and send his goons) leads Jhanvi to encourage Siddharth to run. Sidhu instead rises to the challenge and fights off all the thugs when they attack him the next time around. Jhanvi warns Sidhu that he has made an enemy out of her brother Ganpat and tells Sidhu to return to Allahabad. Ganpat issues instructions to kill Siddharth, but he is up for the challenge and inflicts severe injuries on the goons who attack him. Siddharth and Jhanvi keep meeting with each other, hiding and running from Jhanvi's brother and his men, while Siddharth fights off any thugs that follow him and threaten to hurt him or his family. While Ganpat goes to threaten Esha and her husband Rajeev (Mukesh Rishi), Siddharth threatens him back viciously as he was one step ahead of him and planned to retaliate (though falsely) by killing Ganpat's family, excluding Jhanvi. Rajeev eventually sees Siddharth with Jhanvi and understands the entire matter. Ganpat's uncle tells Ganpat that they cannot afford another mistake against Sidhu as then people would stop fearing them. He tells Ganpat to bide his time and strike at the right moment. Jhanvi overhears this conversation and is ecstatic that someone forced his brother to take a step back, as this has never happened before. Till now Ganpat felt that Siddharth was chasing Jhanvi, but one of his men sees them together and Ganpat realizes that Jhanvi also loves Siddharth. Eventually, Ganpat decides to use his thugs to beat up a boy who was giving Siddharth a hard time in school, thus giving the impression to the principal of the school that Siddharth is a thug. Siddharth is suspended in return. Then they hit Esha with a van and frame her husband for him to lose his job all at the same time. Siddharth and Jhanvi agree they should elope and get married before she gets married off. Meanwhile, Ganesh constantly gets himself conned (his suitcase is stolen a few minutes after he arrives in Delhi and Sidhu's address and telephone number were in the suitcase) and goes through various harsh realities about life. In the end, Ganesh loses all his money, his watch, his clothes, and a kidney in his hope to meet his friend Siddharth. One day, Ganesh runs into Sidhu who was in a bus. But the bus drove away while Ganesh was describing his struggles to Sidhu. All his experiences end in the form of making Ganesh accidentally a "Petticoat Baba" (he was drafted into a porn movie without his will and had to escape in a petticoat when the police arrived), a saint who is believed by the people (not by Ganesh) to be living in the Himalayas for 300 years. In the climax, Siddharth hatches a plan to bait Ganpat and his men to the wrong area and marry Jhanvi with her remaining family members (Ganpat's wife (Shweta Menon)) who care for her and Siddharth. Ganpat gets wind of this plan (he sees them at a railway crossing) and tracks them down. The newlyweds now have to run from a mass number of thugs. This leads to a final battle which ends with a one-on-one fight with Siddharth and Ganpat. Siddharth wins and refuses to deal Ganpat the death blow, allowing him to live. Ganpat allows Jhanvi and Siddharth to leave, finally accepting Siddharth as his brother in-law. Siddharth and Jhanvi leave married.

LOC Kargil opens with a dramatic shot of an Indian soldier's wireless set chirping frantic commands from one of the army bases, calling a patrol to report in while the radio operator lies dead in the snow. After frantic attempts from battalions to locate their lost patrols, the Indian Army HQ in Jammu and Kashmir decides to deploy more troops. They suffer a rude shock when company and even battalion-sized attacks are beaten back by the largely unknown enemy sitting on top of the steep and treacherous peaks surrounding Kargil, Mushkoh Valley, Drass, Batalik and the Kaksar sectors. After these terrible and surprising reverses, the decision is taken to go ahead with maximum mobilization and move its best fighting units into the area of operations. Orders are not to cross LOC. The first unit deployed is 1/11 Gorkha Rifles (1st Battalion, 11th Regiment) who are specialists in high-altitude warfare. 1/11 is led by its commanding officer, Col. Lalit Rai (Sudesh Berry), and has the charismatic and brave Lt. Manoj Pandey (Ajay Devgan) leading one of its platoons. Subsequently, the 18th Grenadiers (which was in the Kashmir Valley guarding against terrorist infiltration when they were urgently summoned to help throw out the intruders) are deployed. The Grenadiers were led by Colonel Khushal Thakur (Raj Babbar). Among the officers and soldiers were men like Lt. Col R Vishwanathan (Mohnish Behl), Major Rajesh Adhikari (Karan Nath), Lt. Balwan Singh (Akshaye Khanna), Captain Sachin Nimbalkar (Vineet Sharma), and Grenadiers Yogendra Singh Yadav (Ashutosh Rana & Manoj Bajpai). Other units like the 17th Jat, 2nd Rajputana Rifles, 22 & 16 Grenadiers, 2 Naga, 1 Bihar, 8 Sikh, 18 Garhwal Rifles, 12 JAK LI, 3 Punjab and 13th J&K Rifles are inducted into the theatre of conflict. The first assault is by the 1/11 Gorkhas advance platoon led by Lt. Manoj Pandey which links with the beleaguered and severely mauled Sikh Bn. They follow up to launch its attack on Kukarthang post, a very heavily defended enemy position supported by mortar units and artillery batteries on the Pakistani side of LOC. The Gurkhas take Kukarthang after suffering heavy casualties, revealing that the enemy is a trained army unit being given full-fire support from across the LOC. The second battle is at the strategic Tololing mountain which sits astride National Highway 1, the main supply route for the entire Northern Kashmir sector including Siachen and Leh. Col. Khushal's 18th Grenadiers 1st company, led by Major Adhikari, attacks Tololing. The company is held up midway to the top due to heavy fog; it waits for clear weather. The men when half asleep suffer intense shelling from artillery and mortars, causing casualties and panic. They try to get to safety by moving up the mountain but are pushed down by heavy small-arms fire from intruders dug into the well-prepared position atop the mountain. Subsequent counter-attacks from the Indians are stifled by stiff resistance, in the absence of artillery support for the Indians, claiming the lives of Major Adhikari and Lt. Col. Vishwanathan. The 18th Grenadiers are relieved by 2nd Rajputana Rifles, commanded by Col. Ravindranath (Ashish Vidyarthi), which moves in with an artillery battery of 110 mm field artillery and acclimatized troops. They launch a multi-pronged attack under artillery cover which ends in success but at the cost of losing many officers and ranks, including Capt. Vijayant Thapar (Amar Upadhyay), Maj. Padmapani Acharya (Nagarjuna Akkineni) and Maj. Vivek Gupta (Himanshu Malik). All this happens while the 13th J&K Rifles led by Lt. Col. Y K Joshi (Sanjay Dutt) stands by in case the 2nd Raj Rif fails. The 13th JAK Rif is blooded at Rocky Mount where they take the field after suffering heavy casualties. They follow it up with another victory at Point 5140 where Lt. Vikram Batra (Abhishek Bachchan) distinguishes himself by taking the south face of Pt 5140 without any casualties and is promoted to captain. The decisive phase of the war has come. 18th Grenadiers are assigned to take Tiger Hill, 17th Jat to Three Pimple complex feature, 1/11 Gorkhas to Khalubar Ridge and 13th J&K to Bunker Complex. The Grenadiers take Tiger Hill after a daring stealth attack by the elite Ghatak section, losing its lead Nk Yogender Singh Yadav (Ashutosh Rana). Only one of them Grenadier Yogendra Singh Yadav (Manoj Bajpayee) survives to link up with the rest of the battalion. 17th Jat suffers heavy casualties with Captain Anuj Nayyar (Saif Ali Khan) and several others killed and injured, but is able to secure Three Pimple complex. 1/11 Gorkhas link up with 22 Grenadiers at the base of Khalubar Ridge after braving an intense creeping barrage of artillery. Pandey somehow keeps the sagging morale of the weary unit up till the battalion begins its attack. The plans go awry as Gurkha CO Col Rai is injured by machine gun fire. Pandey volunteers to take out the bunkers which are holding up the attack. The machine guns are taken out, but Pandey is killed in action. The last battle is fought by the 13th J&K attacking Bunker Complex, but the unit gets split up. Capt Batra is sent to link up with Captain Nagappa (Nagender Choudhary) who has been captured one bunker and surrounded by the enemy. Batra links up with Capt. Nagappa but is pinned down himself by heavy enemy fire. He alone takes out two bunkers but is mortally wounded. The 13th JAK pursues the enemy to the LOC but stops due to orders not to cross the LOC. Finally, India declares 'OPERATION VIJAY' a success and victory and secures all its captured heights from the adversary. Just like J. P. Dutta's previous war movie BORDER, the Indian Military provided technical and material assistance during its production and filming. Weapons used in Kargil War like different variants of INSAS rifle family as well as the Famous Swedish Bofors artillery guns and BM-21 multiple rocket launchers. Air Force planes like Jaguars in bombing role and helicopters like Mi-17s and Cheetah were shown in casualty evacuation roles. Pakistani artillery shown were Indian field guns and 81 mm mortars. SLR stood for G3 rifles used by Pakistani Army.

Rakesh promises that if she sends Raj to India, he will find a suitable match for him.

Once in India, Raj narrates a story to Rakesh that Nikki's fiance Ajay is gay and has a boyfriend in the US, and he is leaving him to marry Nikki. Ajay still loves the boyfriend, but did not have the courage to speak to his parents about him and hence is being forced to marry Nikki. Rakesh is now convinced that Nikki cannot marry Ajay. He reaches home to call off the wedding. Nikki is shocked and tells Raj that she loves Ajay. Raj is forced to admit the truth to Rakesh and apologizes to Ajay, who is a really nice guy. Raj finds himself pushed towards marriage by his overzealous uncle Rakesh Sharma (Satish Shah) who is also Nikki's father. His uncle's employee, Namrata (Aishwarya Rai) chaperons Raj on a series of set-ups/dates, all of which he deliberately sabotages. Turns out Namrata was the lady whom Raj lied to at the airport. She was in the US to bring back some dresses for Nikki. And due to Raj's antics, she got late returning to India and arrived just before the engagement with the dresses and jewelry that Nikki wanted to wear on the occasion. Naturally Namrata is taken aback when she realizes that Raj told her a blatant lie just for an airline seat. Still Namrata is forced to spend time with Raj as Rakesh has promised her a promotion if Raj gets married during his trip to India. Raj says that he is uncomfortable meeting the women in a family setting and Namrata convinces Rakesh that the meetings could be private. The first girl is Rachna (Divya Palat), whom Raj meets in a temple and says that he believes in re-incarnation. He says that in their previous life, they had a kid, and they died when they fell off a mountain in Kedarnath. She was named Savitri back then. Raj claims that Savitri's body was found 3 days later, and he never re-married. Rachna gets really spooked by this story and runs away. The next girl is Poonam (Gautami Kapoor), who he meets at a club. Poonam breaks down when her ex Vikram (Eijaz Khan) enters the club. Raj and Namrata help Poonam get back together with her ex. During the course of the wedding ceremonies, Raj discovers that he is falling for Namrata. After some deliberation, he decides to tell her, but to his surprise, he discovers she has a 7-year-old son, Aditya (Master Parth Dave). Raj is confused but forms a strong fatherly relationship with Aditya. Raj's uncle informs him that Namrata's husband Sanjeev (Arbaaz Khan) disappeared right before Aditya's birth and has never returned to his son or wife. Finding a letter that Raj had written confessing his feelings, Namrata gets upset thinking Raj tried to use her son to get close to her. She attempts to distance herself from him, but a stubborn Raj follows her to Aditya's boarding school with Principal Ms. Loccolith Lobo (Tannaz Irani), having promised the boy to pose as his father. Raj helps Aditya look good in front of his friends and protects his self-confidence. On being prodded by Raj, she tells him that her husband Sanjeev left her for another woman while she was pregnant. Namrata and Raj begin to bond. After some months, Raj decides to introduce Namrata to his mother. A short while later, he finds out that Sanjeev has returned and is looking to reconcile with Namrata. Namrata is aghast and makes it clear that she does not want anything to do with him. Sanjeev says that he left for US with a girl to make money. But after 4 years the girl left with all the money. Sanjeev then spent the next 3 years working hard and getting himself back up, so he could come back and claim his family back. Sanjeev refuses to leave, becoming stubborn and persistent, threatening her with a lawsuit for custody of Aditya. This puts Namrata on the path of reconciliation with Sanjeev. Raj's family feels Sanjeev has no right on Namrata and Aditya, but the decision belongs to her and her alone. After a chance meeting at a temple, Raj invites Sanjeev to his home for Nikki's wedding. Aditya is present and is affectionate with Raj, calling him "Dad." Sanjeev becomes jealous and angry, insulting Raj and his family. After witnessing Sanjeev's bad behavior towards Raj, Namrata finally gets the courage to stand up to him. She publicly tells him off and also admits that she is in love with Raj. Sanjeev is ashamed and disappears once again warning Raj to not make the mistakes he made with his family. Six months later Raj and Namrata decide to get married and are soon expecting a child.

A recently divorced woman falls in love with her boss at her new job. When her ex-husband returns, she is torn between the person she left behind and the one she is falling for.

Saraswati Batra (Waheeda Rehman), a graceful and devoted widow, has spent her life raising her three sons - Om, Jai, and Jagadish - in their ancestral home. When her husband passed away twenty years ago, her eldest son, Om (Anil Kapoor), stepped into the role of caretaker and father figure. Sacrificing his own youth, Om held the family together with love, duty, and unwavering moral strength. Now an adult, Om works at a music company owned by his wealthy childhood friend, Shekhar Malhotra (Parmeet Sethi). While Shekhar believes money is the greatest power in life, Om believes in love, family, and integrity. Om has taken out large loans from Shekhar to support the dreams of his younger brothers: Jai (Fardeen Khan), an automobile designer studying in the U.S. with dreams of building the world's fastest car, and Jagadish (Abhishek Bachchan), a brilliant but impulsive computer student in college whose lazy friends beg him to help them out of trouble with attendance - which he does by hacking and changing their attendance records. Om marries Ayesha (Mahima Chaudhry), a lively and strong-willed MTV VJ who pranks him on national television. Despite a rocky start, they fall deeply in love and have a child. Meanwhile, Jai falls in love with Neetu (Urmila Matondkar), a wealthy and westernized NRI. Neetu's mother (Lillete Dubey) doesn't object to Jai as a person, but resents his middle-class family and their decision to remain in India. Her more understanding husband (Raju Kher) supports Jai silently but firmly. After Jai graduates top of his class, Om and Saraswati urge him to return to India. However, Jai wants to stay in America, as he's offered a huge opportunity by an automobile company. But Om pleads with him to return, as he wants the brothers to stay together and needs his help with the growing financial burden. Jai reluctantly agrees, hoping to find work and marry Neetu. He is offered an 8-year contract but feels trapped by it and wants to head back to America, despite Om telling him to take it to help repay Shekhar's loan. Jai clashes with Om after urging him to sell their home as an alternative to pay their debts. Jai insists that Om is forcing the brothers to sacrifice their lives by clinging to outdated ideals and refusing to sell the house. Jagadish defends Om, reminding Jai that the house represents their father's dream and values, and that selling it would be a betrayal of everything he stood for. This confrontation marks the breaking point. Jai makes it clear he loves and respects Om but needs to go back to America to fulfill his dream. He returns to America, leaving Om emotionally devastated. After Jai's departure, Om - drowning in debt - approaches Tanya (Sheeba Chadha), the real estate agent who had once offered to buy the house. To his shock, Tanya reveals that she already owns the property. Her fiance, Shekhar, has legally seized the house under a clause in the loan agreement that Om had overlooked. Om had trusted Shekhar blindly, never expecting betrayal. Now, he and his family are evicted from the home Om protected for decades. Om is shattered - not just by losing the house, but by the fact that the friend he trusted most has exploited him. Shekhar, for his part, is also deeply hurt by Om's reaction. He reminds Om that when he gave him money, Om praised him, but now resents him for expecting repayment. He accuses Om of romanticizing morality while ignoring real-world responsibility, and despises his middle-class mentality. Meanwhile, Jagadish faces his own downfall. Manipulated by selfish college friends, he hacks into the university's system to retrieve exam papers. When one of the boys is caught, he betrays Jagadish to save himself. The scandal leads to Jagadish's expulsion and public disgrace. Om, already on the edge, breaks down and asks Jagadish to leave the house, further fracturing the family. Om, Ayesha, their five-year-old son, and Saraswati move into a small flat. The loss of the house is especially painful for Saraswati, who had longed to spend her final years surrounded by the memories of her late husband. With his standing in the music industry destroyed, Om seeks help in the music world. He turns to Ram Prasad (RP) - a former lift man Om once discovered and transformed into a musical sensation. But RP, now arrogant with success, refuses to help. Desperate, Om reaches out to KK, a disgraced singer whom he had replaced with RP for plagiarizing other artists' work. Despite their history, KK agrees to join Om, seeing his sincerity and broken spirit. Om also meets a notorious video pirate who used to illegally copy music videos, named Rahman. Touched by Om's decency - even in defeat - Rahman reforms and joins Om's new venture as an executive. Together, the three form a new music label named Saraswati. Built on second chances and raw talent, the label slowly rises. KK stages a massive comeback, and artists begin leaving Shekhar's label to join Om's. Infuriated, Shekhar publicly mocks Om for having "failed brothers" - one who fled abroad, and another expelled in disgrace. Om, pushed too far, slaps Shekhar in anger. In retaliation, Shekhar vows not to redevelop the house but to auction it off - just to humiliate Om. Back in America, Jai builds and sells his dream car for $2 million. During this time, Neetu sees Jai's quiet strength and unwavering integrity, and realizes her own selfishness. With her father's encouragement - who finally stands up to his wife - she reconciles with Jai. They return to India - Neetu transformed, grounded, and ready to embrace the family. Jagadish, now working as a pizza delivery boy in Bangalore thanks to a friend who supports him and takes him in, happens to deliver food to Mr. Pillai, the CEO of a major tech firm. When Pillai's company is hacked, Jagadish offers a solution: an anti-hacking program he has been developing on his own. Pillai is impressed and agrees to buy it. As the ancestral home goes up for public auction, Om arrives with all the money he's saved. Jai joins him, contributing his share. They place their bid - but a mysterious higher bidder outbids them. Defeated and heartbroken, they prepare to walk away. But just then, Jagadish walks in, poised and confident. The three brothers embrace, reunited at last. The winning bidder steps forward - and reveals he was representing Mr. Pillai. As it turns out, Jagadish sold his anti-hacking program to Pillai on one condition: the price of the software would be the exact amount needed to reclaim the family home. Overwhelmed, Saraswati watches her sons standing together once more. Her dream is fulfilled - not through money, but through unity, sacrifice, and love Shekhar, present at the auction, watches in silence. For the first time, he concedes defeat without resentment. He turns to Tanya and tells her gently, "I love you." He accepts that Om was right all along: the power of love is stronger than the power of money. The Batras return to their ancestral home - restored, reunited, and renewed. Not just as individuals, but as a family.

Dhaai Akshar Prem Ke is a film about an army man who is stuck in a love triangle between two women.

Bihar-based Muslim Manzur Ahmed (Kulbhushan Kharbanda) and his family was migrated to East Pakistan after the partitioning of India in 1947. However, after the formation of the state of Bangladesh in 1971, he and several other people were forced to re-locate to the western part of Pakistan. To do this by land, they will have to cross India. The route from Dhaka leads to Guwahati in India then to Delhi then to Ajmer then to Bhuj, and then on to Haji Peer in Pakistan. They get as far as Bhuj, but afterward they are assisted by an agent known only as "Refugee" (Abhishek Bachchan), who helps them trek their way across the Great Rann of Kutch to Pakistan. Makkad (Ashish Vidyarthi) is Refugee's handler and brings clients for him, in exchange for a commission. Refugee considers his clients as mere items of luggage and refuses to be emotionally involved with them and their stories. Then he meets Nazneen Ahmed (Kareena Kapoor), the young daughter of Manzur Ahmed, and he forgets this rule and falls in love with her. Police on both sides of the border are aware of the illegal refugee traffic and the Indian BSF led by Raghuvir Singh regularly questions Refugee and his old father Jaan Muhammad (Anupam Kher) on border crossings. Jaan is married to Amina (Reena Roy). Manzur and his family stay at Jaan's brother Atta Mohammad's (Avtar Gill) place on the other side of the border. Pakistani rangers led by Ashraf search Atta's house, who tells Ashraf that Manzur and his family have come from another village for Naaz's marriage. Tausif (Mukesh Tiwari) is Ashraf's lieutenant. Manzur's mother dies due to the strain of the crossing. Tausif has his eye on Naaz's younger sister Salma, but Ashraf stops him and asks him to leave the family alone. Refugee crosses the border regularly to see Naaz. The journey to Pakistan changes the course of Refugee's life -- he falls in love with the pretty Naaz. The girl too reciprocates his feelings. Naaz wants to create a home with Refugee in Pakistan. But the lovers face an uphill task, for: (i) Naaz is now settled in Pakistan, while he stays in India. (ii) The head of the security keeping a strict vigil on the border of Pakistan. Ashraf (Sunil Shetty), a Pakistani, falls for the innocent charms of Naaz and wants to marry her. Naaz's family agrees to this match, not realizing that their daughter's heart yearns for Refugee. (iii) The Border Security Force in India has learned of the illegal activities of Refugee and wants to take him to task. Shadab is the one who is passing information to the BSF rangers, in exchange for money. On one crossing, Raghuvir manages to spot Refugee crossing the border and shoots him in the leg, but Refugee escapes by hiding in a hole in the ground, covered by foliage. On the Indian side, Refugee is cared for by Sikh priest (Puneet Issar), who hides him in a cave. Refugee crosses the border once again to visit Nazneen Ahmed. Due to a miscommunication, Naaz believes that her parents have agreed to her marriage to Refugee, while they had suggested her wedding with Ashraf. One day, Refugee assists four men (led by Gul Hamid (Sudesh Berry)) to enter the Indian side of the border. These men then enlist the help of Mr. Muhammad's other son Shadab (Shadaab Khan) to get to Delhi. Shadab is addicted to gambling and liquor and does all illegal things to fund his expensive tastes. Shortly thereafter, explosions take place in trains, buses, and buildings in the Indian capital. Shadab returns home with Rs 1 Lakh in cash, which he was given to place a bomb in train. Jaan throws Shadab out of the house for betraying the nation. After the blasts, villages on both sides are rounded up. Tausif wants to arrest Munzir for being an illegal immigrant, but Ashraf stops him. Tausif informs Ashraf that he is willing to break the law for Naaz, who has already slept with someone else. Naaz also affirms that she has only ever loved Refugee. Refugee crosses the border again and meets Naaz. Naaz requests Refugee to take her with him since her father wants to marry her to Ashraf. Munzir informs Ashraf that Naaz is crossing the border with Refugee. While crossing the border through Rann they are captured by Pakistanis rangers. Refugee is beaten up and sent to India on a camel. Ashraf leaves to return Naaz home, while Tausif beats up Refugee mercilessly before sending him back on a camel. Tausif tells Naaz that Ashraf was the one who broke Refugee before returning him to India. Naaz confronts Ashraf for torturing Refugee before sending him back to India. In retaliation, Ashraf confronts Tausif, and kills him after a brutal battle. The Indian BSF led by Raghuvir Singh (Jackie Shroff) captures him and treats him in hospital. The Indians informs him that he unknowingly helped terrorists cross into India and caused several deaths. Refugee confronts his father Jaan, who confirms Refugee's involvement in helping terrorists to cross the border. Refugee joins the BSF and fights the terrorists who laid siege to his village. The terrorists led by Gul Hamid plan to capture the village and assimilate in Pakistan. Jaan resists the terrorists and his own brother Atta who was supporting the terrorists. Atta shoots Jaan and he dies, but due to Jaan's death, the villagers refuse to support the terrorists. Shadab escapes the village to inform the BSF but is shot dead as well. Refugee leads the attack on the village and kills both Atta and Gul Hamid. Naaz tries to cross the border several times but is captured by the Pakistani Rangers. Ashraf agrees to take Naaz to the Haji Peer Mela, which is an event celebrated jointly by Muslim families on both sides of the border. The event is attended by both BSF and the Pakistani Rangers. Naaz runs into Refugee at the event, and Ashraf brings a priest to get them married. Raghuvir allows Refugee to bring Naaz to India, but she is heavily pregnant and goes into labor at the border crossing. The film ends with Nazneen Ahmed giving birth to Refugee's child at the border between the two nations. Indian and Pakistani BSF officers discuss the child's nationality in a lighter vein.
