Plot
editThe movie starts in the US, where Nisha is invited to a Nepalese music festival. She remembers her friends from Nepal, especially Aalap and Sargam. Aalap, a saxophonist and Sargam, a singer and dancer were in love. After a college event, their musical group is offered a gig by a music company on condition that Aalap play the saxophone. However, Aalap doesn't own his own saxophone. Sargam and her friend Keshar plan to surprise Aalap by gifting him one on his birthday. Sargam's father disapproves of Aalap's humble background. The group sign a contract with the company. On Aalap's birthday, Nisha beats Sargam and gifts Aalap a saxophone leaving Sargam heartbroken.
At his party Aalap faints as he plays the saxophone. At the hospital, Nisha collects Aalap's reports and discovers that he has a broken bone and should not play the saxophone. She realises that he suffered the damage in the accident that killed his parents and that she was responsible for. At the concert, Nisha tries her best to convince Aalap to not play the instrument. A desperate Nisha recruits Sargam's father to stop Aalap. Aalap overhears Nisha confessing her role in the accident and Aalap's condition.
