Plot
Siski is the story of three memorable characters and the impact of their love for each other and the lives of those they love.
Synopsis
Siski is the story of how loves and choices can change the course of lives and relationships, particularly in a society that places such perceived importance on success in life based on marriage. Colonel Baldev Sethi (Kanwaljit Singh) (or Bali as he is called affectionately in the film by those that know him), was an army veteran and commanding officer, and he values discipline; he also faces life with the same stoicism that helped him win medals of valour in combat. Pixie (Sumeet Saigal) is Bali's dearest friend, akin to a blood brother. A virile young Sardar, Bali and Pixie share a fondness for conviviality for life and the company of attractive young women, drink, and hearts as big as Punjab's farmlands. Pixie's over-possessiveness of those he loves often leads to predicaments that call for Bali to help resolve the consequences.
The great brotherhood between Bali and Pixie is threatens when they encounter Anoushka "Anu" Saxena (Neena Gupta). She is a successful career woman whose parents' hope of her finding a suitable husband is dissipating; they have greater hope for Anu's pretty younger sister Kaanchi (Tara Patel).
