[edit] Synopsis
The film is about Dr. Siddharth Sinha (Bachchan) and his son Dr. Akash Sinha (Anil Kapoor). Both work in the same hospital founded by Siddharth. Siddharth wishes to run a state of the art hospital but his work and profession means he dedicates his time to his patients.
Soon enough Dr. Neha Mathur (Singh) walks into Akash's life and they eventually fall in love with each other. Soon enough Siddharth dies and Akash sets on to fulfill his father's dream. The arrival of Soniya Kapoor (Zinta) changes everything between Neha and Akash. Soniya is a rich, arrogant woman who is used to having things her own way and it isn't long before she wants Akash for herself. She decides that since Akash is the man for her, she can latch on to him by literally 'buying' his love through financial agreement. The agreement states that on marrying Soniya, her father Gulshan (Randhir Kapoor) will help finance the hospital project.
Akash is confused and wants to fulfill his father's dream but it means sacrificing his love for Neha. The rest of the film explains how he deals with the situation.
