I will now tell you what this film is about in a short summary. This romantic musical saga is about In 2004, the Government of Pakistan decides to review unsolved cases pertaining to Indian prisoners as a goodwill gesture. SAAMIYA SIDDAQUI, a budding Pakistani lawyer, is given prisoner 786's defense as her first case. The prisoner has not spoken to anyone for 22 years. After addressing him by his name, VEER PRATAP SINGH, VEER opens up to SAAMIYA and narrates his story.22 Years ago In 1982 ZAARA HAYAAT KHAN is a lively Pakistani woman whose family is of the political background and high standing in Lahore. ZAARA's Sikh governess (whom she addresses as her grandmother) BEBE asks ZAARA to scatter her ashes in the Sutlej river among her ancestors as her last wish. While traveling to India, ZAARA's bus meets with an accident. ,an INDIAN Air Force pilot Squardon Leader VEER PRATAP SINGH, rescues her, and she completes BEBE's final rites. VEER convinces ZAARA to return with him to his village to spend a day together on account of Lohri. ZAARA meets VEER's uncle CHOUDRAY SUMER SINGH and his AUNT SARASWATI KAUR. VEER realises that he is falling in love with ZAARA.
The next day, VEER takes ZAARA to the train station for her train back to Lahore, planning to confess. However, he ends up meeting ZAARA's fiancé RAZA SHIRAZI. Before she leaves, he confesses his love to her, accepting that they cannot be together. ZAARA boards in silence and bids him goodbye; both believe they will never meet again.
Back home in Pakistan, ZAARA realises she too is in love with VEER but that she must keep her family's honour and marry RAZA, a wedding that will further the political career of her father JEHANGIR. Seeing ZAARA breaking down, her maid and friend SHABBO calls VEER, asking him to take ZAARA away before her wedding. VEER quits the Indian Air Force and travels to Pakistan. When he arrives, ZAARA runs into his arms in tears, causing her father to fall sick in shock. MARIYAM begs VEER to leave ZAARA because JEHANGIR's high-profile reputation and health will be too bad if news gets out that ZAARA is in love with an Indian. VEER respects this request and decides to leave but RAZA, outraged by the shame ZAARA has brought upon him, has him wrongly imprisoned under the name of RAJESH RATHORE on charges of being an Indian spy. Meanwhile, the bus VEER was supposed to be on going back to India falls off a cliff, killing all the passengers. When VEER hears this in jail, he believes the amulet ZAARA's mother gave him is just protected his life.
Back in the present VEER requests SAAMIYA not to mention either ZAARA or her family whilst fighting the case, believing ZAARA is happily married by now and he will only ruin her life. Due to this, SAAMIYA decides to cross the border and find someone in VEER's village who can prove his true identity. In VEER's village, she is shocked to meet ZAARA and SHABBO instead. ZAARA had thought that VEER died in the bus accident 22 years ago. After news of his death, she broke off the marriage with RAZA, and her father agreed, getting them divorced himself. Afterward, ZAARA and SHABBO left Pakistan and settled in VEER's village in India, so that ZAARA could keep VEER's dream of running a girls' school alive. SAAMIYA takes ZAARA back to Pakistan, and she shares an emotional reunion with VEER. Her statement and evidence prove VEER's innocence and his identity as VEER PRATAP SINGH and not as RAJESH RATHORE, and the judge frees him, apologising on behalf of Pakistan. VEER and ZAARA, finally reunited, get married, say goodbye to SAAMIYA at the Wagah border crossing, and return to their village, living happily ever after.
