[1][2] This is a story of two college boys, Ranjeet (Dilpreet Dhillon) and Gurtej (Gurjind Maan), who want to finish their school, get a job, and make their families happy.
His uncle has been in jail for he feels he owes his life to his brother (Ranjeet's father) who saved his lifelong time ago.
The plot is set back to the time when Ranjeet's father argues with someone from the village then his brother tries to settle it.
He has one sister, Deepi (Shveta Grover), and falls in love with his neighbor, a mute girl (Sonia Kaur).
When night comes that day, Ranjeet makes his parents and uncle worried by turning home late.
Gurtej consoles his father to put down his worries because soon he will find a job and buy him a new tractor.
His mother tells him that it is a wife's commitment to serve her husband as her expression of love to him.
The morning after, he tells Ranjeet how his hope of making his parents happy and getting his sister married vanishes just like that.
Surrendering their fate into God's hands, Ranjeet and Gurtej decide to pray in Harmandir Shahib.
Led by his conviction that the man is not a "pure" Sikh, he asks Gurtej to come with him to a police office.
The curiosity leads them to discover that as soon as the paper is dipped in silver nitrate, it reveals a plan of terrorist bombing in Harmandir Shahib.
As they try to bring the bombs to safest places, the police arrive at the scene and mistakenly suspect them as the bombers.
The news directly spreads across the city and it affects their whole families and friends with shock and tears.
Luckily, Ranjeet and Gurtej's friend calls him and shows him where they keep the other bomber for investigating the case.
The finding releases him of all doubt that Gurtej and Ranjeet are truly innocent who tried to save Harmandir Shahib and the devotees at that time.
He directly holds a press conference to clarify the false accusation addressed to Ranjeet and Gurtej.
He mentions that they both are heroes who by their faith, risk their lives to save people and Harmandir Shahib, their worship place.
People in their village hold cremation ceremony to honor them and their families for their dedication and courage.
