The film follows the travails of a young, idealistic man (Salman Khan) who returns to—or moves within—India with hopes and ambitions but quickly runs into the nation's bureaucratic red tape, criminal elements, media sensationalism, and political corruption.

The heroine (Shilpa Shetty) becomes both the romantic interest and a moral anchor; together they expose scams and attempt to bring justice, often through farcical and theatrical means. The film ends on a cautiously optimistic note, suggesting that awareness and collective action can effect change even in a flawed system.
