The film stars Rajiv Kapoor, Raj Kapoor`s younger son, in the role of a simple and idealistic young man, Ram, who sets out to bring back his fiancee, Ganga (Mandakini), whom he had promised to marry. Ganga is symbolically portrayed as the "pure" Ganga river, but her journey is fraught with exploitation, corruption, and tragedy.
