Summary
An Indian scientist creates a computer that can communicate with aliens from outer space, but is killed in an auto accident before he can reveal his work to the public. His pregnant wife, played by Rekha, survives the wreck but her son Rohit, when born, proves to be mentally retarded.
His mother raises him with tender care and he grows up to be a young man of limited intellect but loving heart. His character impresses a young woman named Nisha (Preity Zinta) and after some initial clashes, they become close friends.
They manage to activate the alien-summoning computer ... which works. An alien (which bears a remarkable resemblance to the alien in E.T.) arrives in response to the call. The government wants to capture and exploit the alien. Rohit and Nisha befriend him, name him Jadoo, and hide him from the authorities.
Jadoo senses that there is something wrong with Rohit and uses his uncanny powers to "fix" Rohit. Rohit is suddenly normal. He and Nisha fall in love. However, the government has not given up. Police capture Jadoo, who is rescued by Rohit. Jadoo flees in his spaceship and apparently takes Rohit's new powers with him. Rohit is again mentally retarded -- which saves him from prosecution by the government.
But this is not the end. In a coda, Jadoo returns secretly and restores Rohit's intellect -- permanently. Nisha and Rohit can now lead a normal life, together.
