Plot

Ranveer and Rajveer are devoted brothers. They along with their family, leave their village in Punjab to move to Mumbai. Ranveer takes on the responsibility of looking after his younger brother. After some hardships Ranveer, along with his father, manages to turn everything around and their family becomes really wealthy. Rajveer, on the other hand, lives recklessly. The first scene of the movie shows Ranveer inaugurating a hotel and they have a party where Rajveer arrives later with his foreign girlfriend. They have a grandmother who takes care of them along with their father.

Shalini joins the same college as Rajveer. He starts to woo her as a joke but she falls in love with him. One night, Shalini confesses her love for Rajveer telling him she intends to marry him assuming the same on Rajveer's part, but he takes the proposal as a joke. This doesn't annoy Shalini at first as she had fallen for him truly.

She keeps talking about marriage but one day Rajveer goes berserk and tells her that he does not love her. He even shows up at Shalini's house (enraged because his friends told him they think he has fallen in love with Shalini) disrespecting her parents as well in the process. This crushes Shalini as she realises she had loved a wrong person. A college rival of Rajveer, jealous of Rajveer since he had a crush on Shalini, tries to beat up Rajveer with his hired goons. Ranveer learns of it and rushes over to Rajveer's aid. The college student and his goons attack Rajveer on the head with a weapon, but Ranveer arrives and saves Rajveer, they thrash the goons and Rajveer's college rival.

Prior to all this, Ranveer had caught a glimpse of Shalini at a traffic signal and fell in love with her. After seeing Shalini at a wedding, he discovers her identity. He sent a marriage proposal but she refused it claiming she loves someone else (Rajveer). Ranveer, heartbroken, accepts.

After the aforesaid event, Shalini meets Ranveer again and they both eventually fall in love, which Shalini accepts Ranveer's marriage proposal. Rajveer later realises his love for Shalini and confesses it in front of Ranveer (who is unaware that Rajveer's love interest is Shalini), who encourages him to propose to Shalini. By this time, Rajveer and Ranveer had no idea that they are talking about the same woman.

When he shows up and confesses his love, Shalini very politely refuses. He feels broken and vows to kill that person (unaware it is Ranveer). Later, he sees Ranveer with Shalini in a restaurant and in anger behaves very rudely with Ranveer. Ranveer slaps Rajveer and Rajveer pushes him away, leaving both Ranveer and Shalini shocked. Rajveer then runs and attempts suicide by jumping off a bridge. Ranveer rushes behind him, to save him, but is hit by a car and goes into a coma. Shalini lashes out at Rajveer because, due to him, so many people were troubled.

Later, in an emotional scene, Rajveer apologises to Ranveer and he wakes up from his coma forgiving Rajveer. Shalini and Ranveer get married.

The film ends with Rajveer going back to his village, meeting Rani and falling for her.
