Dev and his college rival, Ronnie, compete for Rimi’s affection, with Dev ultimately winning her heart. However, Rimi’s father, a U.S. Senator, takes her back to the States under the guise of celebrating her birthday, separating the couple. Despite the distance, they promise to reunite. After Dev’s visa is rejected, he publicly declares his love for Rimi, which helps him secure the visa. In the U.S., he confronts Rimi’s father, leading to a series of challenges and confrontations with her father’s security. Dev eventually brings Rimi back to India, but she returns home.

With the support of his loyal friends, Dev travels to America to rescue Rimi from house arrest, and the two embark on a journey to escape her father’s schemes.
