Plot

Big Brother is a story set in modern India which revolves around a small middle-class family composed of Dev Sharma (Sunny Deol), his wife Aarti (Priyanka Chopra), his mother Sitadevi (Farida Jalal), brother Akash (Imran Khan) and sister Anjali. Although they lead a simple and peaceful lifestyle, an incident occurs that changes their lives forever. The family is left with no choice but to leave Delhi and move to Mumbai in disguise. They start life afresh, and all seems well until the ghosts of the past surface again. Things reach a point when Dev Sharma is prodded by his mother to take a course of action which not only avenges their plight but also takes on the cause of the aggrieved in the country as a whole. The movement so created gets the support of the women at large and the infirm who proudly proclaim him to be their Big Brother.
