The Story
ooni Ali Beg (Kajol) is a blind Kashmiri girl who travels without her parents for the first time, with a dance troupe of which she is part. On her journey, she meets Rehan Khan (Aamir Khan), a casanova and tour guide. Although her friends warn Zooni about him, she still wants to experience the feeling of being in love for the first time, and spends time with him. In New Delhi, Rehan shows her the city and starts to develop feelings for her.
Zooni and Rehan decide to marry. Her mother Nafisa (Kiron Kher) and father Zulfikar Ali Baig (Rishi Kapoor) acquiesce to the marriage, and come in from Kashmir for the wedding. Meanwhile, the young couple visit an ophthalmologist, who advises Zooni that her blindness may be surgically curable, though the operation has its risks. They decide to take the chance and have the operation before the wedding. Zooni asks Rehan to visit the Rashtrapati Bhawan (president's residence) to invite their friend, the guard Jolly Good Singh (Jaspal Bhatti), to the ceremony.
While still recovering from the successful surgery - and before she can see Rehan -- Zooni is told that Rehan has been killed in a terrorist bomb attack on Rashtrapati Bhawan. She is comforted by her parents who have arrived from Kashmir. Zooni feels she sent Rehan to his death in Rashtrapati Bhawan.
Actually, Rehan is a Jehadi terrorist fighting to liberate the state of Kashmir from both India and Pakistan, the Free Kashmir movement. As grandson of the mastermind and leader of a key insurgent group, the Independent Kashmir Front (IKF), he is its most trusted operative. He has been plotting and executing terrorist strikes against these two countries, including the explosion in which he is reported to have died.
The terrorists are about to pull off a huge strike. With parts stolen from India, Pakistan and Russia, they hope to build a nuclear explosive device. This device, capable of destroying a whole city -- New Delhi or Islamabad - they will use to pressure both countries into leaving Kashmir. A critical part is missing: the detonator or electronic "trigger" device. Rehan is to bring in this trigger. Meanwhile, the mourning and guilt-ridden Zooni returns to Kashmir and is delivered of a baby boy, whom she names Rehan for his father.
Rehan infiltrates an Indian army unit that is taking the trigger back to Delhi to safeguard it from theft by the insurgents. During a helicopter transport in a remote area, he drugs his colleagues, takes the trigger, destroys the helicopter and escapes by parachute. A key intelligence operative Malini Tyagi (Tabu) realizes who he is, but cannot deploy forces quickly enough to stop Rehan. He is wounded by the troops, but escapes. Tyagi orders a communications blackout in the area so that he will not be able to contact the IKF.
Exhausted, wounded, and incommunicado, with a storm building, he seeks shelter in a remote house. He is shocked to find that the house belongs to Zooni and her father. Neither of them recognize him: Zooni had never seen Rehan as she was blind, and her father had never met him. The child Rehan is very taken with the man, and he likewise develops an affection for the little boy. Later, Rehan admits to his identity, though unable to explain what he has done for the seven years since they parted, or why he played dead. Nevertheless, he still loves Zooni and she him, and they marry in a simple ceremony performed by her father.
Soon afterward, through a TV broadcast, Zooni and her father both separately discover that Rehan is the terrorist for whom a manhunt is in progress. Her father tries to stop Rehan, taking him to an Army friend's house so he can use his radio transmitter and then attempting to shoot him. Instead, Rehan accidentally kills him, then uses the radio to contact the IKF. The IKF tell him they will send a pick-up helicopter the next morning. Then, when the army officer discovers Rehan in his home, Rehan kills him too.
Zooni finds her father dead, floating by under the ice in the river near which Zooni and Rehan Jr are playing. When Rehan returns home, and tells her that her father is at the army officer's house, she suspects that Rehan killed him. She takes the "trigger" to her father's friend's house, and radios the army. Tyagi apprises her of the seriousness of the danger, and the risk to hundreds of thousands of lives should the IKF get the device. Before the police or army arrives, Rehan finds her, and tries to take the "trigger" to his grandfather who is arriving by helicopter. Unable to stop him any other way, Zooni kills him, although she still loves him. Meanwhile the Army helicopter arrives at the same time as the IKF helicopter, and Tyagi shoots the insurgent leader.
The final scene shows Zooni and little Rehan laying flowers on the graves of Rehan Senior and Mr. Ali Beg. Zooni tells him that it's easy to choose between good and bad, but life sometimes presents two bad choices or two good ones.
While critics claim that the plot is taken from the Hollywood movie Eye of the needle, it doesn't seem to have many similarities. However, the climax has been lifted from the Kannada movie "Aryabhatta" starring Ramesh Arvind and Soundarya.
