Drishti, Bipasha Basu, is a young widow blessed with a rare gift: the ability to glimpse the futures of the people around her. After a breakup with her long-distance lover Manav, she moves to a quiet, remote village where she crosses paths with Mohit, Suniel Shetty, an eccentric car mechanic who bears the scars of years of abuse from his father. Mohit develops a crush on Drishti, a sentiment she does not immediately recognize.
