Brij Bhushan wants to give a 5-star hotel as a marriage gift to Amar. The land for the construction of the hotel incidentally belongs to Bihar. Bihari had previously turned down several offers of selling his land because the house and land were his father's remembrances. But on Amar's asking Bihari gesture is by making him a fifty percent partner in the profits of the hotel.

The 5-star hotel gets ready but on the opening day, a certain section people condemn Bihari's place which is in the same premises of the 5-star hotel as a black spot which must be demolished.
