After a group of friends graduate from Delhi University, they listlessly haunt their old campus, until a British filmmaker casts them in a film she's making about freedom fighters under British rule.

Inspired by the freedom fighters they represent in the film, the friends collectively decide to avenge the killing.

Sonia's fiance, Lt Ajay Rathod, also joins the gang when in town. Their gang always gets in trouble with political member Laxman who opposes their Western culture. After many auditions Sue decides to cast DJ and his friends in her film; she also gives Laxman a role, ending his feud with the gang. Everything goes well until Ajay dies in a plane crash but manages to save everyone else on board. The state minister declares that Ajay died due to his own negligence. DJ an his friends can't take this shame given to Ajay by the minister and decide to fight for justice, but political games interfere.
