In 1942 the British ruled India, a time when people were either working for the British or rallying for underground meetings and protests against them. Amidst this background, Naren Singh, falls in love with Rajeshwari Pathak. But their romance is not an easy one, for Naren comes from a wealthy family, and Rajeshwari is poor. In addition, while Naren's father, Diwan Hari Singh, is a British supporter awaiting a higher title, Rajeshwari's father is actively involved against the British. Now Naren has to choose between his father's hatred for the revolutionaries and his love for Rajeshwari - which may make him a revolutionary himself, and set him up against his father.
The music was prepared by music director Rahul Dev Burman.

In 1942 the British ruled India, a time when people were either working for the British or rallying for underground meetings and protests against them. Amidst this background, Naren Singh(Anil Kapoor), falls in love with Rajeshwari Pathak aka "Rajjo"(Manisha Koirala). But their romance is not an easy one.
Naren's father, Diwan Hari Singh(Manohar Singh), is a loyal British employee, while Rajjo's father Raghuvir Pathak(Anupam Kher) is a revolutionary. When Naren comes to Raghuvir to ask for Rajjo's hand, Raghuvir gets expectedly livid. But Naren convinces him that his love is true. Raghuvir relents & tells Naren to talk to his father. Hari Singh is angry that his son chose Rajjo, but pretends that he will do anything for Naren's happiness. Hari Singh tricks Naren to reveal Raghuvir's secret location.
Hari Singh leaks the information to Britishers. Soon, some police barge into Raghuvir's location & kill him. Rajjo, who was out at that time, realizes what has happened & runs away. Soon, she is taken into refuge by Shubhankar(Jackie Shroff), who was a compatriot of Raghuvir & had learned about his death. Under Shubhankar's tutelage, Rajjo too follows her father's path.
Meanwhile, Naren, who is still clueless about what happened, is distraught by Rajjo's disappearance. He starts searching Rajjo & soon finds her. However, Rajjo now makes it clear that no British employee or his kin should expect soft feelings from her. Naren too pledges that he will even go on to become a protester or revolutionary, if that brings Rajjo back to him. Soon, Rajjo reconciles & tells about him to Shubhankar. Shubhankar is wary about Naren, but the trio soon find a way to co-exist.
The music was composed by music director Rahul Dev Burman.
