Story of the movie was given by Sadanand Kamath jee while covering a previous song from the movie. Here are the details of the story:-
Gautam Chandra (Raman Khanna) runs a family business, Chandra Enterprises in Mumbai which he has inherited from his grandfather. His aunt Radha (Chand Usmani) is the head of the company. He is assisted by his manager, Sharma (David Abraham) who has some streak of shadiness. Because of his wealth, Gautam spends more time with Maya (Komilla Virk), his love interest in parties than in his business related work which suits Sharma. He has decided to get married with Maya after celebrating his 25th birthday.
One day, Gautam decides to give a surprise to Maya by visiting her for a dinner outing. When he enters her room, he finds her in the arms of Gopal (Imtiaz Khan). Although she invites him to join for a drink, he walks out and drives his car back home in a disturbed mind during which his car runs over a young child, Anil (Master Akashdeep), the brother of journalist and advocate, Asha (Shabana Azmi. He offers Asha that he would get him admitted to the hospital with best doctors and bear the cost of the treatments. Asha declines the offer and asks him to leave her house to meet her again in the court room.
In the court, the lawyer representing the Gautam’s company says that the car was driven by company’s driver which he admits in the court. However, Asha who is present in the court says that at the time of accident, Gautam was driving the car. In the court, Gautam accept the charges and the judge pronounced him prison sentence of 15 days. He is put in the barrack along with three other prisoners, a pick pocketer (Paintal), a safe breaker and an union activist (Dinesh Thakur). Gautam becomes friendly with his fellow prisoners. His 15 days of inter-action with them turns him a changed man from a brat to more like a commoner. After 15 days, Gautam is released from the prison. Before leaving, he assures his three fellow prisoners that he would give them employment in his company provided they give up their undesirable professions. He assures the union activist that he would take him as a teacher for his workers’ training. He fulfils his promise after their release.
Asha writes a report on the car accident for her newspaper, severally criticising Gautam. The editor suggests her to tone down the article as the company gives them good advertising revenues. She declines and resigns from her job as a journalist. After the release from the prison, Gautam feels guilty for having responsible for Anil’s loss of limbs. He starts visiting him occasionally without revealing his identity. Anil develops affinity toward Gautam as he is left alone while Asha is on her freelancing job.
One day, Asha finds that Anil and Gautam has become pally. After knowing that she has lost her job in the newspapers because of the pressures from his manager, Sharma, he gets her reinstated in her job. Gradually, Asha’s attitude towards Gautam gets soften. One day, he takes her for a stroll on the beach to have a free and frank conversation with her to dispel her dislikes for rich businessmen like him. With more such meetings, she realises that Gautam is unlike any other wealthy businessman and he is a kind-hearted man having given employment to his three prison mates. They fall in love with each other.
With the positive effect of spending time with Asha, Gautam starts taking more interest in the company’s operations. His prison-mates who have been employed in his company reveal to him that Sharma and his close associates have been siphoning of company’s funds to themselves. One day while having conversation with his aunt, Gautam comes to know that after the death of his father, her mother became mentally insane and committed suicide. Gautam gets a feeling that he may also get affected by the mental illness through his mother’s gene. He shares the information about the death of his father and suicide by his mother.
Asha does some investigative operations by accessing old newspapers from her office. Her investigation brings out some startling disclosure that Gautam’s father was a freedom fighter who was jailed. This created a rift between Gautam’s father and grandfather. While fighting on behalf of the workers of his company, his grandfather employed goons to control the agitation. During the workers’ agitation, Gautam’s father was accidentally killed by the goons. His grandfather felt repentant and before his death, he bequeathed his company and other assets to Gautam. As to the Gautam’s mother, Asha could only get the information that her mother was from a lower strata of the society which may have created further rift between his father and the grandfather.
In the Board meeting of his company, Gautam presents a proposal for selling some part of his shares of the company to donate the money to a children’s hospital. The Board of directors rejects his proposal by telling him that he has become mentally unstable and he needs to be treated in an asylum. With the background of his mother’s reported mental illness, he gets convinced. He is put in an asylum where he meets an old woman (Shaukat Kaifi) who has spent nearly two decades in the asylum.
Asha visits the asylum to meet Gautam during which she also meets the old woman after hearing her story from the doctor that she has not spoken for a long time until she heard Gautam playing his mouth organ in the asylum. During their meeting, the old woman turns out to be Gautam’s mother. Gautam was separated from her after branding her mentally ill and put in the asylum as a part of conspiracy by the insiders of the company including his aunt. Asha gets a doubt that the same insiders may have initiated the conspiracy against Gautam by branding him as mentally ill.
Asha files a case in the court to get Gautam released from the asylum on the ground that he is not mentally ill. Sharma gets his manipulated witnesses against Gautam. After overcoming lots of legal hurdles created by Sharma, Asha is successful in proving the court that Gautam is not mentally ill. The court gets him released from the asylum and orders the arrest of Sharma and his associates for siphoning off company’s money. The film ends with Gautam, Asha, Anil and Gautam’s mother coming out of the children’s hospital after donating funds.
