Different story. Did petty well in the box office. Since the story line is different it is worth watching. Also great acting by Tabu and Anil Kapoor. The song payali chun mun chun mun is very nice and Tabu did very good acting in this movie. Do watch it. Overall a good movie.

Virasat Amrish Puri is the father of 2 sons. He has a brother – suffering from paralysis – evil doers suffer - who is his worst rival (pandav and kaurav story basically). Amrish’s elder son is a drunkard, good for nothing. His younger son (Anil) studies in UK and Amrish thinks that one day Anil will come and take over his responsibilities from him. But Anil falls in love with an NRI female and the female’s father has a chain of restaurants – thus Anil also thinks of opening up a chain of restaurants and live happily ever after with the semi-nude NRI female with zero culture and ethics ! Alas Man proposes and God disposes ! Anil comes to visit his village and sees the deplorable conditions the villagers still survive in. The rivals blast away a dam, thus several lives are lost – all in front of Anil . A major change over comes in him and he tells his father that he will stay back in the village after all. He then gets married to an uneducated village girl – due to circumstances and pretends to live happily ever after with her. His NRI girl friend comes,cries and is upset and leaves him for good. Thus Anil gracefully accepts his inheritance (virasat).He has no hassles whatsoever to ‘hump’ the jahil ganwaar (illiterate,uncouth) village belle – after all in darkness and in 180 degrees angle – all females are the same – just the same ! This ‘love’ factor is just a hype created by Dream merchants to mislead the youths….or so it seems…. Movie is trying to teach that its better to take care of your own roots, and take wholesome, social development steps – for they are your responsibility – rather than wasting time in frivolous money making schemes.
