Plot
[edit] | This article needs an improved plot summary. (May 2020) |
Nihal Singh is a teen from Chandigarh who loves to build complicated gadgets to learn what is behind science. He has a brilliant mind and dreams of studying at an elite science institute. When he is accepted into his dream college in Mumbai, he discovers college is a whole new world, with new people and new challenges. At college, Nihal is attracted to Meesha, a proud, rude brat. She cannot accept that Nihal is managing to charm everyone his way, including Professor Siddharth Verma, the warden of the college.
Nihal starts to get visions of Meesha being in danger. He saves her life, and his secret is revealed: he can see the future. After this incident, love blossoms between Nihal and Meesha. Meanwhile, media exposure results in attention from anti-social elements, including an explosion at a mall. Nihal sees the explosion before it takes place and manages to rescue most people. It turns out one of Nihal's friends is behind the attack. Despite seeing the bomber, he keeps quiet and doesn't tell the police department. He strengthens up and decides to fight the attacker himself. At the end, it was found that the attacker was none other than Professor Siddharth Verma. He reached his house, and after leaving from there, he took a car from there and ran to the hotel where many people were residing. At last, he got to know that bomb was planted in the car he took from the professor's house. In the end, he saved the people from the bomb blast, and the professor was killed in his own blast. The movie ends with Nihal and Meesha's marriage, where the media interrupts them by asking whether they will have a boy or girl.
