== Plot ==
The film opens at [[Hindu College, University of Delhi|Hindu College]], [[Delhi]] with the story of three students, Siddharth Tyabji ([[Kay Kay Menon]]), Geeta Rao ([[Chitrangada Singh]]) and Vikram Malhotra ([[Shiney Ahuja]]).

Siddharth is a driven revolutionary who dreams of bringing a revolution in the state of [[Bihar]] that will end the [[caste]]-based discrimination there, bring social justice, and improve society. Geeta is a London-returned, South Indian in love with the firebrand Siddharth. She has led a very sheltered life and is yet to explore the terrain of the Indian socio-political landscape. While she finds Siddharth's [[Naxalite]] rhetoric attractive, she is not sure if she can whole-heartedly subscribe to it. Every time they come to a choice, Siddharth chooses his ideology over his love for her thus breaking her heart time and again. Vikram is a middle-class boy who dreams of making it big, whatever the cost. He is particularly afflicted by his father's Gandhian ideas, but irritated and frustrated at the same time, seeing his father's way of life as ineffective in bringing about change.

Siddharth leaves for Bihar to bring about a revolution; Geeta leaves for [[Oxford]] to get a degree; and Vikram sets up an office in Delhi.

A few years later, Vikram is a fixer in the power corridors of government, Geeta is married to promising [[Indian Administrative Service|IAS]] Officer Arun Mehta ([[Ram Kapoor]]) who, as Geeta says "has it all", and Siddharth is still trying to foment a revolution. But all is not as it seems. Below the mask of happiness, each is quite unhappy. Vikram has 'made it' but he cannot get Geeta, the love of his life. Geeta is married, but she meets Siddharth on the sly, cheating on her husband.

Geeta gets a divorce from her husband because of her love for Siddharth, even though she does not want to hurt her husband's feelings. Geeta joins Siddharth in the village and starts to teach the children, whilst the police repeatedly try to hunt down her now husband, Siddharth. She bears a child with Siddharth whom she sends to her parents in London since she believes he deserves more than to grow up in the remote village.

Eventually the police round up the entire village, capturing Siddharth and Geeta for intent to cause unrest and brutally assaulting them – fabricating a story of a villagers' riot to explain their injuries. Geeta is bailed out of prison by her now influential ex-husband. Siddharth, on the run, is shot by the police, admitted to a local hospital, and placed under arrest while Geeta believes him to have been killed.

Vikram, who has been consoling Geeta and taking care of her during the absences of her ex-husband and of Siddharth, is informed that Siddharth is alive. Vikram travels to meet Siddharth and release him using his influential contacts. However, he has an accident on the way and is admitted to the same hospital as Siddharth.
