Khwaishein Aisi is the story of Siddharth Tyabji, Geeta Rao and Vikram Malhotra.
Geeta is in love with Siddharth but politics is Siddharth's first love. Vikram,
however, is madly in love with Geeta.
Siddharth decides to join the Naxal movement in the villages of Bihar while
Geeta goes to England for further studies. Vikram follows up with the
connections he's made over the years in college to become a 'fixer' in the
corridors of power in a country that is in the throes of political chaos.
Five years pass by. Vikram, now the toast of the town, accidentally meets Geeta
at a party. She is now a journalist but suffers an unhappy marriage. Hoping to
move in when the time is right, Vikram follows Geeta on one of her journalistic
trips into a village. Only there he discovers that Geeta is still carrying on
her affair with Siddharth.
Geeta eventually joins Siddharth's movement in Bihar and soon they get married.
It's 1975. A state of Internal Emergency is declared in the country.
For Vikram, things couldn't be better. He is on the right side of the power
equation but Geeta and Siddharth are in trouble.
Still madly in love with her, Vikram uses his connections to save Geeta and get
her back to Delhi. At the same time, he gets word that the police have orders to
kill Siddharth. He could very well leave Siddharth there to die. But he knows it
is important to the only woman he'd ever loved.
Through a strange twist of circumstances, Vikram is picked up by the police and
beaten up so brutally that he becomes a vegetable.
Siddharth finally abandons his passion for politics and decides to study
medicine in England. He asks Geeta to come with him. Does Geeta agree to go with
Siddharth or does she dedicate her life to taking care of Vikram?
At the end our protagonists find themselves in situations that only the quirk of
destiny could decide.
