In this endeavor, Badal travels to a small town, where he meets a good-natured police officer, Ranjeet Singh, who takes Badal under his wing, and Rani, a bubbly free spirit who falls madly in love with him. Ranjeet Singh's family eventually takes Badal in as a son. Through both Singh's family and Rani, Badal is given a new lease of life and comes to understand the values of sentiments, love, and relationships, all of which he has missed out on in his life.
