Shekhar (Arvind Swamy) and Shaila (Manisha Koirala) are in love, and though neither of their parents approve of their relationship – he is the son of orthodox Hindus, she a Muslim – they decide to elope. Starting a family in Mumbai, they raise their children to appreciate both of their families’ faiths and cultures. But then civil unrest – in the form of the 1992-1993 Hindu-Muslim riots, stemming from the demolition of the Babri Masjid mosque in northern India by Hindu nationalists, results in a horrific situation – and Shekar and Shahla’s parents are forced to confront their differences in order to save their family.
