and want to celebrate their togetherness by the beach side
A
cultural/religious organization has asked for ban on all valentine day

Mahesh
rungte is local goon he is very young and wants to make it big in politics he
has joined the ram sena which has given a call for ban on valentine day and has
met its party chief kailsh dalpate
He wants to prove that he is the most loyal

He has
been a several restaurants and bars and had asked couples in their to get lost
he had roughed several youngsters, shoppers and all of them had obeyed his
command
He now
moves on to the chowpatty beach and starts harassing the couples who are their
and all of them start fleeing the area
He sees
kalpana and ajay lost in each other and ajay leans down on his knees and
proposes to kalapana mahaesh snatches the ring away from ajay and starts
harassing them
ajay very
irritated at this harassment starts protesting Mahesh slaps on the face and
ajay hits back.
A scuffle
break down and all the boys who are their stars hitting and beating ajay they
beat him mercilesslesly and then leave him their as kalpana tries to intervene
she is also hit.
As all of
them leave kalpana tries to get ajay up but ajay lies there life less kalpana
cries for help some people who are gathered there rush ajay to the hospital
Doctors
examine ajay and declare that he has gone into a coma kalpana is also shell
shocked by the turn of events
The police
arrive and kalpana tell them about the incident the police instead of calming
tell her as to why she and her boyfriend were roaming about at the beach hen
there was a warning by a certain organization about the same
Inspector
jayadev who is there in the hospital for some other case asks the investigating
officer to catch holds d of the criminals instead of harassing the girl
The media
also comes to know of the same and the hospital is awash with reporters from
every channel trying to get to kalpana
The
incident gets reported in the media and makes a big splash
Several
days pass and ajay does not recover kalpana sits there in his room staring at
him the doctors tell her that this condition of ajay can continue for a very
long time and advise her to take him home
Meanwhile
in the media there is virtual debate going on people from all factions of the
society are debating whether this harassment of people by a certain
organization is plain dadagiri or means to gets political mileage
Kailash
dalpate is their on every channel defending the actions of his people saying that
they are trying to stop youngsters from the bad influences of the west and
trying to preserve the cultural heritage of India
The ram sena
out rightly denies any involvement of its people with the incident saying that
their people don’t indulge in such violence some local elements would have done
the same
Meanwhile
the police have rounded up some elements and call kaplpana to identify them kalpana
goes to the police station but none of the people who had been caught were from
the same group that harassed her
Jayadev
meets her there and tells her that the police are under pressure not to touch
the people of ram sena as they are the supporting party of the government in power.
Kalpana
is completely shattered and comes and sits with ajay days start passing and ajay
still does not recover meanwhile kalpana starts neglecting helf and her
dressing and everything becomes much laid back she is completely lost in taking
care of ajay .
She
starts losing her composure she seemed to disturbed and is not able to dance or
perform her trope tries to support her but she goes into a shell
Jaydev
comes and meets her sometimes and tries to help her but the only question that
kalpana keeps asking is when the police would get those criminals behind bars
Jayadev
had developed a liking for kalpana not in romantic way but he likes kalpana and
likes talking to her he finds way and means to get kalpana out of her shell
He
invites her over to his placed to meet his wife and kid kalpana does that and
finds the change refreshing she becomes friends with Mahesh wife and kid and she
likes Mahesh a lot
Mahesh
keeps on meeting kalpana and forms a strong bond with kalpana
