[edit] Plot

Amber Dhara is based on the life of conjoined twins: Amber and Dhara. The sisters share the vital organ liver and are conjoined at the hip. 20% of the liver is a part of Amber's body and the remaining 80%, a part of Dhara's body which rules out the possibility of a surgery being carried out to separate the twins without any fatality being involved in the process. The surgeon, a quack doctor who the twin's mother Lata consulted asserted that if the surgery will be carried out, Amber will die. Strangely Lata nor anyone in Amber Dhara's family failed to get a second opinion or send the test results to USA or England where the surgery would have been successful.

Meanwhile Amber and Dhara ran away from home and are currently living at Amber's secret lover's house. Amber Dhara ran away from home because they wanted to pursue Amber's dream of becoming a famous singer and Mumbai was the best place to do it. Anuj, a man who came to Panchgani to offer Amber and Dhara a chance to become famous in Mumbai and do a show, is the person who lures the girls to Mumbai. However later on they find out that Anuj was lying and he has other intentions: he wants the girls to join the circus. Amber and Dhara are dressed up in clownish outfits and are told that they are going to perform but instead are tricked into coming to the circus where they are teased and laughed at. Both girls want to leave and try to escape the humiliation but Anuj and his handyman catches them and forces the girls to stay. Amber and Dhara decide to stay and perform in one show and they make friends with many people at the circus. After giving a marvelous performance the two girls escape from the Circus. Luckily their friend Akshat finds them and they live with him until they are able to pursue Amber's dream. They join a band and then they are arrested for the murder of Akshat's mom.
