Born into a wealthy family that settled in England, Vikram (Shahrukh Khan) has no desire to set foot on Indian soil. But when his brother unexpectedly dies, he must go there to sort things out with his sibling's widow (Sonali Bendre) and their 8-year-old son (Sunny Singh). Eventually, Vikram comes to know a conflict that until now he'd never experienced -- being torn between his beloved Western upbringing and a growing fondness for the East.
