Description: In the serene village of Sultanpur, Pakistan, resides Shahida, a six-year-old mute girl, with her parents. After an accident where her inability to speak prevents her from calling for help, her mother, Rasia, decides to take her to the shrine of Sufi saint Nizamuddin Auliya in Delhi, India, hoping it will restore her speech.
On their return journey, the train halts for repairs. Shahida disembarks to save a lamb while her mother sleeps. The train departs before she can reboard. In a panic, she boards a freight train and ends up in Kurukshetra. There, she encounters Pawan Kumar Chaturvedi, known as Bajrangi, a devout Hindu Brahmin devoted to Lord Hanuman. Pawan lives with his father’s friend, Dayanand Pandey, and is engaged to Dayanand’s daughter, Rasika. Pawan tries to locate Shahida’s home but fails. He affectionately calls her “Munni” and brings her home. Dayanand allows her to stay, assuming she is a Brahmin. However, the family soon discovers Munni is a Pakistani Muslim. Dayanand, enraged, orders Pawan to send her back to Pakistan through the Pakistani High Commission. Due to protests, the offices are closed. A local travel agent offers to take Munni to Pakistan without a passport but attempts to sell her to a brothel, inciting Pawan’s fury. After rescuing her, he vows to personally take Munni home despite lacking a passport and visa.
Pawan and Munni manage to cross into Pakistan by sneaking under border fences but are soon arrested on suspicion of Pawan being an Indian spy. During interrogation, he escapes with Munni and meets Chand Nawab, a journalist from a Pakistani TV channel. Nawab, initially believing Pawan to be a spy, learns of his noble mission to reunite Munni with her parents. Touched by his story, Nawab joins Pawan on his journey.
