Sanjay immediately recognizes Sanjana as Lachi, his lover from his previous life who was tragically separated from him. While Sanjay is convinced of their shared history, Sanjana—who is engaged to Vikram (Deepak Tijori)—is initially skeptical and dismisses his claims as madness. The film unfolds as Sanjay attempts to help Sanjana remember her past while facing opposition from those who wish to keep them apart in the present.
