Plot[edit]

Satya Jadhav lives in Mumbai, with his father, Dinkar Jadhav. He aspires to play for the Indian Cricket Team and wants to initially get selected for the local Railways cricket team. While trying to get money to get into a cricket team, he runs into Nisha, and after some misunderstandings, they become close and fall in love. However, they are later separated by Nisha's parents, whose father is a strict Naval officer and disciplinarian, along with the circumstances that plague them. Nisha, who promises to return to Satya, never comes back. Satya falls into depression, turning to alcohol, and pushing away his dream of becoming a cricketer.

Meanwhile, Shravani, Satya's neighbor, had been in love with Satya, since their childhood, of which he is unaware. When she learns of Satya's love for Nisha, she starts distancing herself from him, but marries him a few years later, after sensing his and Dinkar's pain. However, Satya married Shravani due to pressure from his father, not out of love. He does not work and instead, relives his memories of Nisha. He relies on Shravani's salary who works at Indian railways, for money to buy alcohol.

When Satya goes to Delhi to help select some cricket players from a youth team, he encounters Khushi, Nisha's daughter. He learns from Nisha's father, that Nisha and her husband, Kunal, died in an accident. Heartbroken, Satya agrees to take Khushi in, as a coach and train her as a cricketer, as it was Nisha's wish. He takes Khushi back to Raigad for cricket training. After letting his family know of the situation, Satya and Shravani both decide to adopt Khushi. However, Khushi says that she will only agree to become their adopted daughter, only if, Satya and Shravani sort out their problems and do not distance themselves, to which they agree.

Satya realizes Shravani's love for him during this time and decides to let go of his past for a new start. However, Shravani thinks he is just acting that way to please Khushi. She decides to get a job transfer to Nagpur, leaving Satya, Khushi, and Dinkar behind. When Satya drops Shravani off at the railway station, he tells her that he loves her and apologizes to her for causing her pain. A delighted Shravani decides to stay back. They both embrace and kiss, with Satya finishing his journey toward love.

Bhanage praised the music, writing "The music by Ajay-Atul is good."
