In the cool, winding hills of Mashobra near Shimla, the Kaul family anchors a life of routine and duty. Major Amrish Kaul [Amrish Puri], a disciplined patriarch, oversees a household that also includes his wife Sudha Kaul [Farida Jalal], their daughter, and their son Ajay Kaul [Sunny Deol]. The quiet rhythm of their days is gently disrupted when Ajay slips into two separate motorcycle mishaps that bring him into contact with Neha Pandit [Tabu], a woman still carrying the weight of past losses. From these imperfect beginnings, a fragile chemistry grows between Ajay and Neha, and what starts as a risky attraction slowly blossoms into love despite the shadows of their separate histories.
