Poonam
(Amrita Rao) is an upper middle class girl who lives in the small
town of Madhupur. After the demise of her parents, when she was
very young, her Chacha (Alok Nath) fulfilled the void of a father
in her life. But her Chachi (Seema Biswas) was unable to accept
Poonam as her own child as Poonam was more beautiful that her
chachi's own daughter Rajni (Amrita Prakash).
Poonam
was blossoming into a beautiful and radiant young lady embellished
with all the right virtues one could ask for. Her simple and affectionate
demeanor touches the heart of Bhagatji (Manoj Joshi), who plays
our matchmaker. Bhagatji takes Poonam's marriage proposal to Mr.
Harish Chandra (Anupam Kher), a renowned and well-to-do New Delhi
businessman, for his son Prem (Shahid Kapoor).
Prem
is the soft spoken, charming and well-educated young scion of
one of New Delhi's most prominent business families. In spite
of being brought up in the fast city life of New Delhi, Prem is
rooted to the ground and has retained his family's traditional
values and upbringing. It is these qualities that make him stand
out in today's day and age. When his father takes his opinion
on the proposition, Prem is initially taken back and feels he
is too young for marriage and needs to focus on his career first.
But being open minded and respectful to his father's wish, Prem
agrees to meet Poonam, know her better and then take a decision.
What
follows is a 'meeting' arranged by the two families. Prem and
Poonam are suddenly in the midst of a situation they have never
been in before. What starts off as an awkward, formal exchange
of words, grows into a deeper, meaningful conversation. Prem and
Poonam discover their soul mate in each other. They are engaged
- to be married in six months.
Prem
and Poonam go through the most magical and romantic period of
their lives. Both realise the importance of the engagement rings
that they have given to each other and the special right that
they have got on each other in return. Coming from different sensibilities,
both want their relationship to be very 'right' for each other.
Six months fly by and just when everything was set for Prem and
Poonam to get married... a crisis puts the love of Prem and Poonam
through a trial by fire.
