Devki Nandan Tripathi is a simple, rustic man who decides to try his luck in the city of dreams, Mumbai. He gets himself employed at the Mausam Vibhaag, his only means to a lucrative and thriving future. As the movie unrolls, the plot thickens and so do Devki`s circumstances, for he finds himself pursuing something that he had never meant to in the first place. In this situational comedy, he comes across an array of city people who often find his innocence amusing and comical, but Devki realizes that they stick with him even in the worst that his life hauls him in. From the village folk to the corrupt cop to the impish goon-Devki finds himself cared for and aided even while he feels entrenched in a `Na Ghar ke Na Ghaat Ke` state of affairs. The film thus depicts the everyday struggle of common man in a `rural meets urban` set-up.

A family film which tells the unlikely and timeless story about almost ten year old Tony, whose father rises from being a crane driver to Secretary of State.

Joint Commissioner of Police Dev Pratap Singh (Amitabh Bachchan), a duty-bound, self-righteous officer (He has just killed a minority community student leader as he was conducting unlawful activities on campus), and Special Commissioner Tejinder Khosla (Om Puri), the balancing force between the political interests of Chief Minister Bhandarker (Amrish Puri) and Dev's commitment to the law, are lifelong friends, each with his own ideals. Tej believes in using excessive force for control, while Dev believes in upholding the rule of law. Tej reminds Dev that his own 8 yrs old son Armaan was killed by the bullet of a Muslim terrorist.. Dr. Bharati Singh (Rati Agnihotri) is Dev's wife. Farhaan (Fardeen Khan), a law graduate, was brought up with ideals of non-violence and patriotism. On a train bound for Bombay from Surat, a Police Inspector questions Farhaan, who has just obtained his law degree, for his reason to go to Bombay, and whether he has any alliance with Pakistanis. Farhaan answers that he is going to Bombay to live with his father, and he does not know anyone from Pakistan. Farhaan finds out that Bombay Police have been targeting the Muslim community, and in the name of fighting terrorism, have been killing innocent Muslim men, women and children. Dev has had a meeting with Muslim community leaders asking them to share list of all people attending their madrasas, their funding and any suspicious activities. corrupt politician Latif (Ehsan Khan) is angry with this biased attitude from Dev, but moderate leader Ali Khan (Pramod Moutho) wants to cooperate with the government. Ali is Farhaan's dad. Farhaan comes to know from Ali that Joint Commissioner of Police, Dev Pratap Singh, is involved in this witch-hunt. Dev orders the encounter of Kareem Khan of Latif's party involved in smuggling of arms. Kareem tries to hide behind his family and as a result, the family is also killed. The community is outraged and launches peaceful demonstrations (egged on by Latif). Latif publicly asks Ali to lead the Morcha. Latif's men start throwing stones & petrol bombs at the police during the Morcha, prompting Dev to open fire. As a result, Ali is killed. Latif meets CM's right hand man MangalRao (Milind Gunaji) and conveys that he helped the CM get elected in exchange for a promise of a MLA ticket. He reminds Mangal Rao for the CM to keep his promise. Meanwhile Farhaan meets Latif and says he wants to kill Dev. Farhaan is provided training in handling guns, and is subsequently made ready for this task. Aaliya (Kareena Kapoor) is the light in Farhaan's life. Beautiful and innocent, the young woman also gets caught in extraordinary circumstances that transform her life and she dares to stand up for the truth. Unfortunately, Farhaan is unable to kill Dev, who escapes unhurt. But one of Farhaan's assistant is killed and is identified to be Latif's man. Chief Minister Bhandarkar views this incident seriously, and instructs Tej to root out terrorist elements in the city. Tej raids Latif's hideouts and manages to capture Farhaan. Farhaan is eventually released as there is no evidence against him. Dev tries to counsel Farhaan that Latif is using him for political purposes. Tej is an ultra Hindu Nationalist, while Dev is a secularist in his views. Dev sees Armaan in Farhaan. Latif is alarmed by Farhaan's release as this was unexpected. He plans to divert their attention by conducting a bomb blast in the city and stoking communal tensions. Latif chooses Farhaan for the job as he does not intend for Farhaan to escape alive. Farhaan is told to deliver a package to a man near a Hindu temple, and he does so. While at a stop to buy some snacks, the package explodes prematurely, killing several people, but Farhaan survives. Since this incident occurred near a Hindu temple, a right-wing political party member, Mangal Rao, organizes a wave of riots against the Muslim community. Riots take place, and CM instructs Tej to observe and not prevent the violence. As a result, hundreds are killed. Latif organizes his men to target and attack Hindus and Hindu establishments, rendering the region unsafe, with people being killed in the name of religion. Dev is at the location, but is under orders from Tej not to act. After waiting, Dev decides to ignore his orders and bring the situation under control. Aaliya escapes sexual assault and Farhaan finds her and takes her to a hospital where Bharati treats her. When Hindus and Muslims have had enough, they publicly ask for peace, it is only then Latif and Mangal Rao agree on a truce, on the condition that no Muslim male, female or child will file a FIR (First Information Report) in any police station, to which Latif agrees. Latif then warns everyone in the Muslim community not to complain against anyone. Period. But Latif frames it as saying that Muslims cannot hope to get Justice from this govt and hence there is no point begging for it. But Aaliya breaks rank and complains to Dev publicly about his police officers and Mangal Rao, whom she had witnessed during the riots. Seeing Aaliya, many witnesses come forward. Mangal Rao is arrested by Dev. CM and Tej want Dev to release Mangal Rao, but he refuses. Latif summons Farhaan and beats him senseless and wants to kill him, but Farhaan escapes. It is then Farhaan finds out that he has been treated as a pawn by Latif, and decides to trust Dev and become an informer. Tej releases Mangal Rao and he plans to kill Aaliya. Tej knows this & stops Dev from helping the victims as Mangal Rao sets fire to the entire colony where Aaliya lived (Aaliya had secretly moved in with Bharati, without Tej or Dev's knowledge). Dev writes a formal complaint against Tej and this leads to a departmental inquiry. As Dev heads to court, he is shot down by unknown assailants on the steps of the court, and it is clear that Tej instigated the shoot-out. Tej tries to use the chaos to shoot Farhaan, but Dev saves him before dying. Tej is riddled with guilt on Dev's death and understands that Dev treated Farhaan like his own son. Tej kills himself and hands over all the evidence to Frahaan so that he can fight the battle in court.

Right from Peon to Principal, and from the most lowly menial staff to the office of the Prime Minister, modern secular India is embedded in corruption by officials who brag that even if Mahatma Gandhi were to approach them to grant access to his very own Sabarmati Ashram, he would not be spared. In this era a honest man is defined as one who readily accepts a bribe and does the needful, while a dishonest man is one who accepts a bribe but refuses to do the needful. It is in this atmosphere that the Kapoor family live. This family consists of Suresh Kumar Kapoor, a Professor at a Delhi college; his wife, Sarita, who is a Librarian, and a son who is Captain Rohit in the 7th Jat Regiment of the Indian Army. Suresh is pitted against the corrupt system when he receives word that his son has been killed in Kargil, when the fragile truce between Pakistan and India was broken, resulting in thousands of deaths on both sides. In condolence, Suresh and Sarita receive messages from various army officials, politicians, including the State Chief Minister as well the President of India. Their to-be daughter-in-law, Peehu A. Verma is shattered by Rohit's death, and decides never to get married. The army offers them a plot of land so that they can open a petrol pump as a means of livelihood. Suresh, Peehu and a reluctant Sarita decide to call it "Kargil Heights" and go about obtaining the necessary documents to get it running, little knowing that the corrupt system will not permit them to take a step forward without bribing it's officers, of all ranks, who will refuse to issue any permit unless and until their palms are greased. Will Suresh, Sarita and Peehu ever be able to open "Kargil Heights", or will it just remain a dream? —rAjOo (gunwanti@hotmail.com)

Vikramaditya Singh (Lucky Ali) is a teacher in a music school named "Sur" in Ooty where he, with others, polishes every student's voice to make them stars. Vikram is very passionate about music and can play several instruments flawlessly. Vikram is a true master of the violin. Vikram is so perfect that most of his students believe that they can never achieve his standards and tend to give up midway during their training. Vikram has just released a new music album working with his music producer. Vikram believes that if his work is good, it will sell for itself. He does not believe in launch parties, or publicity events. Vikram believes that it is his school that will make him immortal. Harman (Eshan Khan) is Vikram's only friend in the entire world. Although Vikramaditya is a famous singer himself, he is not satisfied with his creations as he is looking for a special person. His heart longs for someone so special that, if worked on, would be a masterpiece who would be known as the worthiest graduate and the world's most talented singer. He accidentally meets Tina (Gauri Karnik), who has a magical voice. Vikram was returning home when his jeep breaks down. Harman asks him to get water and Vikram wander off coming across a church where he finds Tina singing in the choir. He learns about her when she sings a prayer in church. The priest tells Vikram that Tina studies in college and then serves drinks at her sister Rita's bar at night. During the evening, she comes for choir. Vikramaditya decides to take her to his school, where she can pay more attention to singing. Vikram goes to Rita's bar. Vikram tells Rita that Tina has an amazing voice but needs a little work. He offers Tina a place in his school, where a new session is starting in 2 days. Vikram says that he wants to make a star out of Tina. Rita recognizes that Vikram is a famous singer. Divya (Simone Singh) is Vikram's business partner for 8 years and objects to Tina gaining entry without the tough entry tests that other students had to endure, but Vikram overrides her saying that Tina will be his true successor. Vikram says that Tina will be his chance to become immortal in the annals of music. Divya is jealous and says that in her time at the school, Vikram never praised her that way. For training Tina has to shift to Vikram's school and her sister Rita (Divya Dutta), forces her to pack her bags and relocate to Vikram's school. Tina used to help Rita run her bar and contribute to the income of the family. But Rita doesn't want Tina to miss this chance of a lifetime as Vikram is a really successful singer and commercially a superstar. Rita tells Tina that Vikram already gave her a check for Rs 58,820 to hire a replacement for Tina at the bar. Tina starts off by being totally tone deaf and Vikram gives her individual attention to improve her musical and tonic sense. Vikram is also super tough on her and won't let her settle on mediocrity or let her set low standards for herself. He demands perfection. As Vikramaditya improves Tina's talent, she falls in love with him. Slowly, he molds her into a brilliant singer, and she emerges a star. Vikram's usual music producer Vishal (Yashodhan Bal) and his assistant Pooja (Achint Kaur), visit Vikram's school and hear Tina sing. They are mesmerized by her songs and want to sign Tina along with Vikram for his next album with them. In spite of Vikramaditya's dream coming true, he starts feeling jealous when he discovers Tina's success. He is not able to take in the fact that she is better than he is, so he starts competing with her. He agrees to Tina singing a song with him in his next album, but when Vishal and Pooja arrive, he presents Tina's song as his own. It was supposed to be a duet, but Vikram starts breaking her confidence, then dominates and overpowers her. He eradicates Tina from her own creation. Tina is completely broken down and can't understand why this is happening to her. Tina leaves the school. Her song is a blockbuster hit. At a party, One of Vikram's students Aqib (Harsh Vashisht), who was also good friends with Tina, confronts Vikram and accuses him of stealing Tina's song. Vikram throws Aqib out of the school, and for the first time Divya also tells Vikram to confront his own reality that he is refusing to acknowledge. Vikram starts drinking a lot and loses all control. Rita comes by and thanks Vikram profusely for the opportunity that he gave Tina. But she gives him a check for Tina's time at the school. Divya is livid and tells Vikram that he is wrong. Vikram goes to meet Tina and finds that she has become a sister at a convent. Vikram is devastated that he has destroyed Tina's life, but Divya helps him understand that Tina loves him. She asks Vikram not to give up. Vikram pursues Tina relentlessly and reminds her of her love for music. Vikram asks Vishal and Pooja to organize a concert in a week's time. They are super chuffed as this is the first concert Vikram has agreed to in his professional life. Vikram admits to Tina that he was a failure as he got jealous of his own student's success. Tina is moved by this confession and agrees to sing. On the day of the concert, Vikram goes missing and Pooja & Vishal beg Tina to sing to save the day. Tina performs at the concert dedicating her love for Vikramaditya, and the concert is a huge success. Later, Tina goes to meet Vikram at his house, and feels grateful to Vikram and expresses her desire to sing with him. But Vikram rejects her proposal, telling her that she should sing alone and that he wants her to become a big name in the future. A Heartbroken Tina leaves Vikram's house and continues her career, dedicating it to Vikram.
