Perspective
The movie focuses on Mahesh, an honest and diligent young man, who has no knowledge of his background as he was raised in an orphanage. One day, out with his friend Badru, he meets Reshma, who is also an orphan. Badru advises Mahesh to make a move on her, though as he approaches her, the two fall in love and Badru decides to get them married. They then live a harmonious life and soon are proud parents of a healthy young boy who they name Lucky. Lucky grows up to be as honest and diligent as his dad, and his future appears to be very bright. When Lucky sees his father smoking, he starts to as well, but when his father stops him, he explains that an old man around his school sells him cigarettes. When Badru and Mahesh approach the old man, he tries to run. Badru chases after him and is then run over by a truck. Badru tragically dies, leaving Mahesh, Reshma, and Lucky on their own.
Years later, when Lucky grows up, he falls in love with Lata, and both plan to marry soon with the blessings of their respective parents. Then Mahesh's world is turned upside down when he finds drugs in Lucky's pocket. He speaks to Lucky about this, and Lucky promises to give up drugs forever and does live up to his promise. While driving home one day, Mahesh witnesses a drug peddler selling drugs to a group of youths which also included Lucky. He notifies the police, and they arrest the youths, but the peddler manages to escape. All the other youth tested positive for drugs, except for Lucky. When he returns home, his parents refuse to believe him, this angers him and he and his father come close to fisticuffs.
Mahesh asks Lucky to leave the house, and he does so. Even Lata has left him as she doesn't want to upset his father, Mahesh. Lucky regresses to drugs and his friends until he runs out of money. Lucky and his friends decides to rob a jewellery shop for a huge sum of money for purchasing drugs, however sooner they are caught by police and the gang tries to evade them. Lucky is injured in the process from escaping the police and reaches home to his mother and asks for money, but she refuses to listen to any of his pleas. An enraged Lucky, desperate of drugs tries to snatch his mother's mangalsutra to sell it for money and amidst of this scuffle, he murders her. Mahesh, who is devastated by Lucky's predicament and his crime of killing his mother, decides to mercy kill him as he believes that Lucky cannot recover from his drug addiction as he had turned into a criminal. Mahesh calls the police and surrenders himself and before going to jail, he wants to meet Lucky's friends (who were arrested while escaping) and pleads with them to be a better person and not a burden to their parents and requests them to say no to drugs.

Perspective
All songs were penned by Ravindra Jain,[3] and all songs are composed by Anu Malik.
The parody song Mere Naujawano Pyare Naujawano sung by Amit Kumar has the same tune and rhythm of the song Mere Bhole Balam (Meri Pyari Bindu) from the 1968 film Padosan, and the song was composed by R.D. Burman, and was recreated by Anu Malik. This song was a tribute to Kishore Kumar by his son Amit Kumar who sung the song, Anu Malik the composer, and Salman Khan who acted as himself, but was dressed as Kishore Kumar's character Vidyapati (Guru) going to a shooting to act in Padosan part 2. Salman Khan also had behaved like Kishore Kumar in terms of dancing, walking, acting, and talking, and Amit Kumar's singing resembled like his father giving playback to Salman Khan, and Anu Malik's composition was nostalgic for people.
