"Refugee" is a young man (Abhishek Bachchan) from the Indian side of an Indo-Pakistani border crossing in the desert. Among other activities, he helps Muslim "refugees" across this border, hence his name. He's also one of the village chief's two sons. The village chief is under the strict eye of the Indian border guards. His village is a hot-spot of illegal trafficking and migration between the two enemy countries. After the 1971 war between India and Pakistan, the two countries became sworn enemies and nuclear powers. East Pakistan became Bengladesh - still a mostly Muslim country but now stressing its Bengali culture and its "native" people. Many non-Bengali Muslim families rushed to migrate to Pakistan. They are not Bengali, though Muslim, but unwanted both in the new Bangladesh and in the India they had abandoned at the time of "Partition." This new migration thus requires crossing the Indian border twice before reaching Pakistan. One such family, having migrated from Orissa (in India) to East Pakistan at the time of Partition, arrives at "the Refugee's" village, after crossing the Bengladesh/India border, and all of India east to west. They want to cross into Pakistan, seen as the "holy land" where they can live in peace. The family contracts the "Refugee" for the crossing to Pakistan. The family's beautiful daughter (Kareena Kapoor), adds fuel to the Indo-Pakistani fire. Her father uses her in a "search for a suitable Muslim husband" alibi, as the family's pretext for residency in Pakistan. However, this pretext provokes friction on both sides of the border. The commanding Pakistani Border Officer and the Indian "Refugee" compete for the beautiful daughter's affection. Thus, Indo-Pakistani tensions are heightened beyond all precedents by this additional conflict. e96 Written by ElianaM
