Muskaan is an orphan girl living on a farm run by her overly-protective elder brother, Vishal and their uncle, Ajay. Muskaan’s childhood friend, Ujala, has been carrying a torch for the brooding Vishal since childhood, but he continues to ignore her. Muskaan wants to go to university in Mumbai and has to persuade her brother to attend. Once in the Mumbai Muskaan meets Suraj, an underachieving student estranged from his father and his stepmother. They soon fall in love but when Vishal comes to visit Muskaan, he is mistaken as her boyfriend by Suraj and his group of friends. A fight ensues but once he learns the truth he apologised. However Vishal disapproves of Suraj, believing he is physically unfit to meet his strict standards for a future brother-in-law and lacks maturity and competence. 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 Ajay in which he saves his 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 this is to exact revenge for a previous humiliation of his own family. Suraj sets out to stop him and win Vishal’s heart. Ajay is half-shocked to learn the reason why Suraj came to the village. Suraj’s friends tell his family about the village. Suraj’s stepmother insults Muskaan, who runs away and accidentally runs into the Singh family and their henchmen. Suraj, his father, Vishal and Ajay arrive and rescue Muskaan. Suraj’s stepmother calls the police thereby showing that she now cares for him. Vishal accepts Suraj as his future brother-in-law.
