Pyaasa (transl. eternally thirsty) is a 2002 Indian Hindi-language film directed by A. Muthu. The film tells the story of Suraj (Aftab Shivdasani), a young man, full of dreams, aspirations, and desire but no money. He is desperate for money. He meets the anchor of his life, Sheetal Oberoi (Yukta Mookhey in her first major leading role in Hindi cinema), boss of a Mega Corporate company, who has a lot of money with her.[1][2]

Plot

Pyaasa is a love triangle with revenge as its base. Suraj aspires to be a millionaire some day, but all hopes of making it big are squashed by his father and uncle, who don't approve of selling their ancestral land. Sheetal, a tycoon, hires Suraj to work for her business empire. Prem is Suraj's cousin and an accomplished businessman, whom Suraj detests. What Suraj does not know is that Sheetal is just using him as a pawn to exact revenge from Prem and his father, Dharam Thakur.[3]

Reception
