Plot

Pyar Ki Dhun is about love and what it means to different people. Priya is a brilliant student from Ranikhet village who bags a scholarship to a university in the U.K. for further studies. She is a happy, ambitious girl from a traditional, loving family of modest means. She is engaged to Rohit, a handsome schoolteacher from the same village, who is very possessive about her. Much against Rohit’s wishes, she decides to pursue her dream of completing her further education abroad before the marriage. Nisha, on the other hand, is the bright daughter of a very rich Mumbai businessman, Mulkraj, but very unhappy in life as she misses a mother’s love and has to put up with her rude stepmother. On her stepmother’s insistence, she leaves India to complete her studies at the same U.K. college as Priya while she resides at the family’s London mansion along with the trusted family servant, Kuber. Priya and Nisha meet at the university and instantly become friends. Anita, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Shah, a wealthy London-based Indian couple, also befriends them.

Nisha, quite lonely in a foreign country, gets unwittingly involved with NRI Mark, who is actually a drug dealer. Meanwhile, Rohit in India grows insecure and suspicious of Priya’s silences and flies off to London to check on her. He discovers that Priya now has second thoughts about their relationship and marriage. And Nisha, after some bad experiences with Mark, is drawn towards Rohit, who still yearns for Priya.
