Yashovardhan Raichand (Amitabh Bachchan) and his wife Nandini (Jaya Bachchan) have raised their sons Rahul (Shah Rukh Khan) and Rohan (Hrithik Roshan) showering them with love and affection. Yash has tried to pass on to his sons the values, the heritage and the rich traditions of his family.

A mother whose younger son Rohan (Hrithik Roshan) makes a promise to reunite the family. Who seeks out his elder brother and tries to remind him that.......
