Naseeb, a story of destiny and fate, begins with a lottery ticket. A drunk who cannot pay his tab trades so he decides to sell his ticket to the waiter, Namdev Pran, instead. Namdev purchases this ticket with his three friends Damu Amjad Khan, Raghu Kader Khan and Jaggi Jagdish Raj. Using a system of drawing out the highest card to decide who keeps the ticket, Jaggi wins, and the ticket stays with him. When the ticket turns out to be a winner, Damu and Raghu turn on the other two, murdering Jaggi and framing Namdev. Namdev goes on the run but Raghu and Damu intervene and throw him over a bridge into a river and Namdev is presumed dead.However, he is rescued by a don Amrish Puri, and no one is aware he is alive. Fast forward to ten years later Damu and Raghu have used their stolen lottery money to build a fabulous hotel and make millions becoming very successful businessmen. Damu has used a share of his money to send his youngest son, Vicky Shatrughan Sinha, to school in England. They have even employed Namdevs oldest son Johnny Amitabh Bachchan, Vickys best friend, as a waiter in the hotel. By coincidence or by fate Johnny and Vicky fall in love with the same beautiful singer, Miss Asha Hema Malini. Julie Reena Roy is a childhood friend of Vickys who is in love with him, but he only sees her as a friend. When Johnny discovers this, he and Julie sacrifice their own love to ensure that Vicky and Asha get together. At the same time, Johnys younger brother Sunny Rishi Kapoor has fallen for Ashas younger sister, Kim Kim. Kim and Asha happen to be the daughters of Jaggi, the man Namdev supposedly murdered. Namdev returns soon after and plans to take revenge against Damu and Raghu for separating him from his sons Johnny and Sunny. The lives of all these characters become interwined and Naseeb becomes a poignant story about love, friendship, sacrifice, deceit, revenge and, above all, destiny. ........
