Gurukant Desai (Abhishek Bachchan) is the ambitious son of a small-time school teacher (Rajendra Gupta). After failing at school and earning his pessimistic father's displeasure, he travels to Turkey for work. There he does well, but opts to return home to work for himself. Home, and lacking enough capital to start his own business, he marries his best friend Jignesh's (Arya Babbar) elder sister for her dowry money. The lady in question, Sujata (Aishwarya) has a tainted reputation, since she has attempted previously to run away with a lover. Now, "saved" by Guru, she becomes his loving and devoted wife. Guru embarks in his new business venture in the city with his wife and her brother (who is his partner), and thus starts his journey.Read More
