Rani Maa's husband is killed by the neighbouring kingdom's evil Prime Minister Man Singh. The Prime Minister absolves himself from this killing and blames it on the king, the father of Rajkumari Vishaka. Rani Maa swears to avenge the death against the Rajkumari. Man Singh also has a twin brother, Surjan Singh, who is not evil at all, albeit a little naive. Rani Maa is shocked and aghast when she finds out that her only son, Rajkumar is in love with Rajkumari. She sets out to oppose this marriage, while Rajkumar will leave no stone unturned to marry Rajkumari. The stage is set for mother and son to decide whether it is in their best interest to include someone in the family who has killed a husband and a father respectively.
The soundtrack was composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal, and the lyrics were penned by Anand Bakshi. "Payal Meri" is based on "Faith" by George Michael.[3]
India Today wrote, "The film meanders through witch lairs and palaces but accomplishes little. Madhuri Dixit's dances seem repetitive and even the director's occasional flashes of brilliance are not enough to prop up the threadbare script."[4]
