After completing his studies in London, Shakti Thakur (Anil Kapoor) returns to the small Indian town where his family resides. Accompanying him is his girlfriend, Anita (Pooja Batra), whom he is in love with and wants to marry, much to the disapproval of his family. After a few days, Shakti starts to feel that nothing much has changed in this part of India and longs to leave. He tells his father that he would like to sell his share in the family land and would open Restaurant business and settle with his girlfriend, to this his Father(Amrish Puri) urges him to stay in the village and uplift it with his education, by saying "A man gets Education not to become a selfish being but to uplift his uneducated brothers and society". Shakti does not agree with his father and decides to leave. He is unable to bear the animosity between the townspeople in general and in particular between his Zamindar dad, Raja Thakur (Amrish Puri), and rival Zamindar Birju (Govind Namdeo), none other than Raja's crippled brother.
Still to far from me
Only now in real life
Guess iÂ've never been this free
Guess itÂ's time to realise
When you left your life collection
Was it planned for me to see
And i took the first moment
Just to not let it be
And i blame, i blame it all
It all on me
There was something in that mind
Something wanished and gone
And i just couldnÂ't follow
What was going on
When i tore apart your picture
It was just cause it was old
But i put it all together
Just like i was told
I never pictured that about you
My home is no more immune
You brought me my enemy
Just like i told you not to
And nothing in this world
Can wash it clean
And i donÂ't wanna be able
To see how that could have been
And i blame, i blame it all
It all on me
Headacher, painful
Heartbraker, beautiful
So i turn out all the lights
