Suraj is a simple village man who comes to Mumbai from
Benaras to earn a degree in college. He gets smitten by a light-eyed beauty Pooja. After some dilly-dallying, the duo expresses their love for each other. Suraj has big dreams. He wants to emulate his mentor Naved Ali, a shrewd media baron. Then one day, in a heroic deed Suraj saves the life of a fatally wounded man, impressing Naved Ali. A flattered Naved sends his raunchy colleague Lara (Sushmita Sen) to rope in Suraj to start a new channel. Slowly the callow youth becomes a clever businessman and Lara begins to take Pooja’s place. Pooja tries to convince Suraj of the futility of it all but only in vain. Suraj is determined to carve a place for himself in the higher echelons of society. Soon he has everything he ever wanted and dreamed of – a swanky bungalow, sleek cars, etc. But he has lost his innocence. And one day Suraj realizes the dastardly motives of Naved Ali, who wants to become the PM of the country, and how he has been used as a pawn in his power game. == Cast ==
