[edit] Plot
Nikhil Kapoor (Sanjay Suri) decides to come back from the USA to Mumbai. When he arrives, he meets Anamika Joshi (Urmila Matondkar) in a night club and instantly falls for her; she, however, doesn't even introduce herself. The next time they meet, he is in the company of his friends Rahul (Jimmy Shergill) and Steve (Rehaan Engineer), while Anamika shows up with Farhad. A discussion takes place, Farhad draws out a gun, resulting in a fight. The gun ends up in Nikhil's hand, and Rahul gets shot.
Farhad, whose dad is a senior police officer, quietly leaves for Australia; Rahul gets paralysed and loses the use of his legs; and Nikhil is arrested and held in a cell. Rahul refuses to speak with him, and he has no way of contacting Anamika to prove his innocence. Three years after having been imprisoned, Ira Malhotra (Juhi Chawla) comes to hear his side of the story and helps bail him out. Now Nikhil gets to meet Rahul and Anamika and eventually finds out that he was lured into a trap by a killer, who is still at large.
