Plot
After receiving a generous grant from the American Medical Association, Dr. Dyanesh Kripal "Duke" Chawla, who always gives hope to his patients, proposes to his sweetheart, Pooja, and they arrange to get married soon. While returning home that night, he meets with an accident and wakes up in the East-West Hospital place of recovery. Shattered and devastated, he is in for more trauma and shock when he finds out that Pooja will have nothing to do with him anymore. Upset, bitter, and in despair, he loses his will to live, refuses to take medicine or any treatment, and awaits death. One day, Roshan, a young boy, enters Duke's life to rekindle hope again. He starts telling him stories of the world seen outside his window and motivates him to take his medicines and start his physiotherapy. Day by day Duke starts improving, and one fine day he realises that Roshan was suffering from terminal cancer and he died, leaving a new life for Duke.
