What is love? That experience of romance and passion, the deep sighs, the roses! But it is also caring, sharing and the feeling that puts the beloved before one's self. One who lives up to the above is the real lover – the 'Aashiq'. A film that explores these varying elements of love and more.

Chander (Booby Deol) is a fun-loving, carefree young man who believes in standing up for others. This streak earns him enemies, but also brings him in front of the besotted eyes of the wealthy Pooja (Karisma Kapoor).

What follows is a unique, fun-filled romance and before long Pooja and Chander are irrevocably in love.

The true test of love beckons in the form of barriers galore. Family disapproval, misunderstandings and more… Fatalistically, Pooja gets abducted by a heinous flesh trader (Rahul Dev). Chander is framed as the abductor.

An outlaw n the run, whilst evading hand-cuffs, Chander takes on the challenge of rescuing his beloved from the lecherous world of flesh trade. Willing to take any risk, Chander puts his own life at stake and an eye-opening, absorbing, thrill-packed, emotionally charged climax follows.

'Aashiq' stars Bobby Deol, Karisma Kapoor, Anupam Kher, Rahul Dev, Mukesh Rishi, Nasir Khan, Vrajesh Hirjee and Johny Lever in pivotal roles. Indra Kumar directs the film.
