Why one becomes rebel? Why one goes against the laws of the Society? Because one is deprived of his fundamental rights! rights to live, rights to love...
Raja (Sanjay Dutt) is the one from whom every right has been taken away. His innocence, dreams, future, pease and his will has been snatched away, even his love Rani (Manisha Koirala) has been taken away by the cruel hands of few opportunists. An innocent life seeking Raja has been given a gun by his so called well wisher Vikram (Aditya Pancholi) to avenge but Raja starts loving by the gun and willyVikram starts using that gun and Raja for his benefit.

Surya idolizes Raja and his life style, much to the annoyance of his father Professor V.S. Pandey (Shivaji Satam) who dares Raja to keep away from his son. Pandey can foresee his son's future if Raja's influence on Surya continues.
Surya becomes a handsome young boy (Inder Kumar) and on achieving the age, falls in love with Kiran (Tina) head over heels without knowing that Kiran is the sister of an overly possessive brother Vikram.
As usual Surya confides in Raja, who helps Surya every way possible to win his love until one day Raja comes to know that Surya has fallen in love with none other than Vikram's sister Kiran. Raja warns Surya of the consequences and asks him to keep from Kiran but by now Surya has gone beyond reasoning. He is in love and ready to take anybody, no matter how mighty one could be.
