[2][3][4] Suraj Saxena lives in a remote hill station in India with his father, Prakash, mother, and younger sister, Asha.

Suraj is unable to see her home by the train as Prakash had chest pains and had to be rushed to the hospital.

Before Asha gets married, the family decides to relocate to Mumbai, where Suraj enlists in college and makes several new friends, as well as becoming a popular basketball player.

Ranveer Choudhary does not appreciate the attention of a poor man like Suraj on Kiran and has Suraj brought up before him and introduced to his many friends, which include prominent lawyers, politicians, high-ranking civil and municipal employees, the police commissioner, as well as the state chief minister.

His mother is unable to purchase food and is publicly humiliated; Prakash is followed around by Ranveer's goons, harassed, and robbed, and then faces the ultimate humiliation of being publicly arrested, handcuffed, and imprisoned on charges of conspiring against the country and loses his job; and some of Suraj's friends exile him.
