Set in 1947 during the Partition of India, the film tells the story of a truck driver, Tara Singh (Sunny Deol), a Jatt Sikh, who falls in love with a Muslim girl, Sakeena (Amisha Patel), belonging to an aristocratic family.

The story begins with Muslims being attacked by Sikhs and Hindus in India when trying to migrate to Pakistan on a train in response to the killing of Hindus and Sikhs going to India from Pakistan To get revenge,Muslims react by doing the same thing. During the Hindu-Muslim riots that erupted soon after the Partition, Tara saves Sakina from a murderous mob chasing her as she failed to get onto the train after being pushed and lost in the crowd. As the mob want to rape her and then murder her, Tara Singh defends Sakina and then converts her to Sikhism to protect her.

While driving back to Tara's house, the story has a major backflash showing the relationship between Tara and Sakina before this incident and how they knew each other. Tara is a lorry driver, but his real ambition is to become a singer. Some girls in college who are friends of Sakina fool Tara that they have got him a shot a annual music show in return for his doing a for favour for them. Tara performs badly in from of the music teacher, who is portrayed by Sakina (Amisha Patel). His friend then gives him tablets that help him prove his singing skills. Soon after it is shown that Sakina is not the real music teacher, which saddens him. When performing on the music function Sakina announces that she will not do her act instead gives Tara a chance to sing despite the will against the seniors at the college.

Subsequently and back to present, Sakina starts living in Tara?s house and their respect culminates into love.
