Along the way, he encounters several challenges and obstacles that test his determination and resolve. However, Raj remains steadfast in his pursuit of Simran, and the two eventually fall in love amidst the lush green fields of Punjab. The saga that ensues is a heartwarming tale of love, family, and tradition that has become a timeless classic in the annals of Bollywood cinema.
