Ethan Mascarenhas, (Hrithik Roshan) one of the greatest magicians of his time, has been immobilized with a spinal injury for the last fourteen years of his life. He still manages to spread magic and hope through his irrepressible wit and humor to listeners on his radio show. Ethan is aided through every moment of his present life by the epicenter of his world - his nurse, Sofia D'Souza (Aishwarya Rai). Theirs is a love beautiful in its implicit silence, unwavering in its quiet strength and spirited in their constant verbal sparring. On the fourteenth anniversary of his accident, Ethan makes a petition to the Court that shocks the world and leaves Sofia in an impasse that challenges their relationship and their love. Ethan fights tooth-and-nail to demand the most basic right that every human being is entitled to ヨ the right to his own life. The ethics, the morality, the kindness and cruelty of this mission creates a storm in all the lives that it envelops and its resolution forms the startling conclusion of Ethan's remarkable journey.
