Shankarnarayan and Osman have been great friends since childhood. Osman's elder daughter is now getting married and Shankar's entire family troops over to Hyderabad for the wedding. To cut a loooong story short, Shankar's son Abhishek and Osman's bubbly younger daughter Salwar Rizwana meet and fall in love. Full points for originality - only Hum Aapke Hain Kaun, Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jaayenge and a hundred other movies after that used this theme. But wait, things aren't too terribly clichéd.

The problem is that neither wants to confess love for the other because each is waiting for the other to say something. The story progresses in the wedding scenario, and it's time to say goodbye. Right about now, you look at your watch and wait for the interval...and some twist, please. It happens. Shankar has a kidney failure, and after some drama, Osman donates his.

After this, Abhi decides that a rejection of his desire to marry Rizwana, if it happened, would drive a rift into the friendship of the parents, and so decides that he will not follow up on his romance, even while all his friends are telling him that that's not the way to go.

Rizwana even comes to his place to write an exam (though why anyone would need to go from Hyderabad to Vizag for an exam is beyond me), but Abhi treats her quite indifferently and she's obviously disappointed. New twist - Rizwana's marriage is fixed. And the pace of narration now picks up leading to a good though rather senti climax.
