Heer, who is mesmerised by the music, falls in love with him. Ranjha is attracted by her extraordinary beauty and also falls in love. But Heer’s uncle Khaido is ready to do anything to separate them. Will their love overcome the limitations of societal obligations? What are the two lovers willing to risk and why?
