Movie Info :

Mohan Bhargava (Shah Rukh Khan) is the Project Manager for NASA's Global Precipiation Project and a Non-Resident Indian or NRI. On the anniversary of his parents' death, he decides to take a small vacation to go visit his home nation, India, and visit his childhood amah, Kaveriamma (Kishori Ballal) and perhaps bring her to the United States to live with him. Upon reaching India, he visits an ashram to look for Kaveriamma but discovers that she was taken to a village called Charanpur by a young woman.

He meets a young woman (Gayatri Joshi) in a bookstore who gives him directions to Charanpur. After arriving he finds Kaveriamma, and discovers that the woman in the bookstore is his childhood friend, Gita, who took Kaveriamma to the village. During his stay at Charanpur, Mohan witnesses discrimination based on caste, profession, and gender and convinces people in the village to allow the low-caste boys and all girls to finish their education as well.

He is sent on a trip by Kaveriamma to visit a farmer who is living on a property owned by Gita and has not paid the rent. Upon reaching his home, Mohan discovers that the farmer was once a weaver who, due to bad conditions, decided to give up his profession and become a farmer. This decision was rejected by the village elders who did not believe a weaver should change his profession. He soon fell onto hard times, complicated by the fact that he was denied water to irrigate his crops by the other villagers during the drought period and was generally shunned.

Mohan is disturbed by this visit and decides to become more deeply involved in helping those around him.
