Being unaware of her sister's love affair, Roja is not willing to accept Rishi's proposal as she believes that he is the best match for her sister. But due to her parent's pressure, she gets married to Rishi, and the couple move out of the village to live in Madras.Initially Roja is angry with Rishi for rejecting her sister, but when she comes to know of her sister's love affair and consequent rejection of Rishi, she apologizes and starts seeing him in a new light. Love blossoms, and life is blissful for the couple for a short while. Meanwhile, Rishi is assigned a posting at an army communications center in Kashmir as part of his job- he works for the Indian government. All of a sudden, the couple find themselves in a beautiful, yet alien land. And Roja's world turns upside down when Rishi is abducted by the terrorists whose agenda is to separate Kashmir from India and to free their leader, Wasim Khan- he's being held by the Indian military forces due to his crimes. Faced with the daunting task of rescuing her husband, Roja runs from pillar to post, pleading with politicians and the military for help. Further complicating matters is the communication gap- she can't speak their language, and they can't speak hers. Consequently, all her efforts to apprise them of her suffering and pain prove to be futile. Now all alone in her battle to save her husband in an unfamiliar place from ruthless terrorists, with rising odds against her, will Roja succeed? What happens to Rishi and Wasim Khan? These form the core plot of the movie. |
