The movie is about a 25 year old girl named Aranya (Ayesha Takia), who lives with her father, Ashok Mahadeo (RaghubirYadav) and her aunt, Gayatri Garg (Tanvi Azmi) in a hill station called Ganga. In order to support herself and her family, Aranya runs a watch repair store where she ends up meeting a stranger named Andy (Rannvijay Singh) who returns everyday to get his water-logged watch repaired and leaves her a 100 rupee note in the form of an origami swan. Aranya and Andy gradually fall in love. The story takes a dramatic turn when Aranya discovers the truth about Andy.

Nanhe Jaisalmer lives a poor lifestyle in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan, along with his mom, Sarla, and sister, Suman. His father took advantage of Sarla's illiteracy, sold their property and absconded, leaving the trio to live a near-destitute life. When he was four he was cast in a movie starring Bobby Deol. This minor role did have a major impact on his life and he became obsessed with Bobby so much so that he had Suman write to him regularly as well as collected posters and photographs and hung them on the walls of his tiny bedroom. Six years later he is now a tourist guide, able to converse in Italian, German, French, and English, even though he neglected to attend school, instead spent all his spare time watching Bobby's movies, and became the main bread-earner for his family. He instantly gives his approval to Badal (a movie title starring Bobby) who wants to wed Suman. Nanhe is thrilled when he finds out that a Bobby will be appearing in 'Yaar' which is scheduled to be filmed in Jaisalmer and Barmer. One day while traveling on his camel, Raja, he comes to the rescue of none other than Bobby himself whose car was stuck in the sand dunes. He is thrilled when Bobby recognizes him, and they continue to meet secretly. Bobby encourages him to study, overcome a bully, Maggoo, as well as become a better person. When invitations are sent out for Suman's wedding, he gives one to Bobby, who promises to also attend the ceremony. The wedding takes place but Bobby neglects to keep his promise leaving a much disappointed Nanhe to figure out the reason(s) behind Bobby's absence. —rAjOo (gunwanti@hotmail.com)
