The story is about a young Indian Sikh girl Preety played by Zara Sheikh, who goes to the historical city of Lahore, Pakistan for a religious pilgrimage of a Sikh holy place there with her father. She falls in love with a Pakistani boy named Ali (Shaan) who is a banker and also her dad's friend's son. After the pilgrimage, she goes back to her country. Ali realises what he feels lost without her and goes after her. They both are delighted to see each other but Preety's friend in India, who is also in the Indian Army, is not able to deal with Preety falling in love with a Pakistani as he wants to marry her. He sends his forces after the two lovers by claiming that they are spying for Pakistan. The couple flees and after days of hide and seek, Ali is finally able to destroy the Indian Army cars following them. In the last scene, the lovers arrive at the Pakistan-India border where they see a Pakistani Flag and their emotions are filled with joy and relief.
