The film was opened to positive reviews towards the performance of Bachchan but ended up being a box-office bomb, grossing only ₹12.65 crore (US$1.5 million).

[2][3] The Sooryavansham family head - Thakur Bhanu Pratap Singh is the respected sarpanch of the village of Bharatpur.

Thinking that Heera's company would hamper Gauri's studies, Bhanupratap sent her to a boarding school in the city.

Deshraj Thakur, another zamindar in Bharatpur, schemes to devastate Bhanupratap and his family by making Radha his daughter-in-law.

With the money lent by her uncle Ranjeet, Heera establishes a transport company under the name of his father.

Soon, Heera becomes a rich & respected person while Radha clears UPSC exam and is appointed as the District Collector as an IAS officer.

During its inauguration, Heera publicly owes his success to his father, who, he believes, had expelled him from home so that he learned to fend for himself.

While reconsidering his life decisions, he accidentally meets Sonu outside his school and starts secretly spending time with him.

Bhanupratap is hospitalized and Deshraj publicly accuses Heera of trying to kill his father with the poisoned Kheer, because of his expulsion from the family.
