Plot

Ajay tells the passionate and tumultuous story of Ajay, a dairy and poultry dealer, and Manorama "Rama," the foreign-returned, headstrong niece of powerful, wealthy landlords, Raja Brijraj Singh and his younger brother, Ranbir Singh. The film is set in a small town, Kishengarh.

Initially, Manorama, independent and used to wealth, clashes with the straightforward and noble Ajay. Despite their vastly different social and economic classes, their initial arguments and skirmishes gradually evolve into a deep mutual attraction and, eventually, profound love. Their blossoming romance, however, draws the fierce and violent ire of Manorama's protective and status-conscious uncles.

Brijraj and Ranbir use their power and coercion to try and separate the couple. The uncles ruthlessly threaten Manorama, forcing her into an unthinkable betrayal: she must provide false witness that results in Ajay being thrown into jail. Adding to the tragedy, the false accusation also causes Ajay's sister to be disowned by her in-laws, leading directly to the demise of Ajay's mother from heartbreak.

Music and soundtrack

The Music of the film was composed by Anand–Milind and the lyrics of the songs were penned by Sameer. The songs Chamak Chhallo and Chand Sa Chehra were popular. Singers Kumar Sanu, Alka Yagnik, Udit Narayan, Sapna Awasthi and Jolly Mukherjee lent their voices.
