Plot

Muskaan is an orphan girl living on a farm run by her overly-protective elder brother, Vishal and their uncle, Ajay a.k.a. Chachu. Muskaan's childhood friend, Ujaala, has been carrying a torch for the brooding Vishal since childhood, but he continues to ignore her. Later on, Muskaan decides she wants to go to a university in Mumbai and has to persuade her brother to allow her. Once in the big city, Muskaan meets Suraj, an underachieving student estranged from his father and does not get along with his stepmother, who soon falls in love with her. After a few attempts at messing with Muskaan and trying to get her attention, Suraj finally succeeds and Muskaan falls in love with him. One day, when Vishal comes to visit Muskaan, he is mistakenly considered her boyfriend by Suraj and his group of friends. They consequently try to fight Vishal but are instead beaten up. Suraj later learns from Muskaan that Vishal is her brother and he apologizes to Muskaan and Vishal for beating him up. However, Vishal disapproves of Suraj, believing he is physically unfit to meet his strict standards for a future brother-in-law and lacks seriousness and competence. And he decides to bring Muskaan back to the farm sensing Suraj's bad influence on her studies. Suraj pursues her and begins to work on the farm as a stable boy after a chance meeting with 'Chachu' in which he saves Chachu's life. Vishal gives Suraj another chance and puts him to the test; however, he is rejected. Vishal wants Muskaan to marry the brother of Thakur Vijay Singh, not knowing that Thakur Vijay Singh is doing this to merely exact vengeance against the Thakur family for a previous humiliation his own family received. So Suraj must now prevent this from happening and he must also be able to win Vishal's heart if he is really interested in marrying Muskaan. Chachu is half-shocked to learn the reason why Suraj came to the village. Eventually, Suraj's friends told Suraj's family about the village. Suraj's family comes. Suraj's stepmother insults Muskaan, who runs away but she accidentally runs into the Singh family and their henchmen. Suraj, Suraj's father, Vishal and Chachu arrive and rescue Muskaan. Despite injuries, Suraj's stepmother calls the police, showing that she now cares for him. Vishal accepts Suraj as his future brother-in-law.
