This is a contemporary biographical drama loosely based on the life of Dhirubhai Ambani, a business magnate who founded Reliance Industries.
A school-teacher in India sires a son named Gurukant, but is disappointed as the child fails to live up to his high expectations.
When Gurukant grows up, he is unable to secure decent employment in India, so finds a way to go to Turkey, where he finds employment. When he returns back to India, he wants to start his own business, but is unable to do so, as he does not have enough money.
So he does some research, gets to meet Sujata, the daughter of a wealthy man named Jignesh, and marries her. After the marriage, Gurukant finds out that Sujata has a dark past, but he ignores this - for his one motive is to be to rise in the eyes of his father - and get rich.
