Mridula is a headstrong, opinionated girl who, along with her best friend Swati, go to college together. The two are close and do everything together. They successfully finish their education and go on to marry into their respective families. Mridula marries Milind D. Khanna, the son of top lawyer Deepak Khanna ( ), and Swati marries Ajay Lal, the son of a high-ranking politician. Many years pass, and Mridula, now a lawyer, hears from a friend that Swati has committed suicide. Her friend tells her the circumstances surrounding her death, and Mridula suspects that Swati’s death was far from suicide. Mridula gets hold of Swati’s diary, in which she chronicles her daily thoughts. After reading the diary, Mridula is convinced that Swati was murdered by her in-laws and husband. Determined to get justice for her deceased friend, Mridula decides to fight the case against the Lal family. Unfortunately, her father-in-law is fighting the case for the Lal’s. Milind tries to convince Mridula to drop the case, but she refuses, causing a rift between husband and wife. During the rift, she finds support from her mother-in-law, Uttara Khanna ( ), who urges her to fight for justice. Mridula is caught between being a dutiful wife and a loyal friend. As she fights the case, her family and, more importantly, her unborn child are placed in danger by supporters of the Lal family. This article about a Hindi film of the 2000s is a .
