PLOT

Scientist Sanjay Mehra has created a computer from which he sends variations of the syllable Om into space, hoping to attract extraterrestrial life. When he believes he has finally received a response, the scientific community ridicules him. While Sanjay is driving home, an alien spacecraft appears overhead. Distracted, Sanjay gets into a car accident that kills him and injures his pregnant wife, Sonia; their son, Rohit, is born with a developmental disability. Surgery is the only cure but it could paralyse or kill him. Not wanting to risk losing her son, Sonia raises him as he is in the small town of Kasauli.

Years later, a young woman, Nisha Malhotra, arrives in town, initially antagonistic to Rohit because of his childish practical jokes against her. Her friend, Raj Saxena, and his gang attack Rohit in retaliation, breaking his kick scooter. Sonia chides them for assaulting Rohit just because he is not normal like them and the fact that Rohit was trying to apologise to Nisha. Realizing her mistake, Nisha gifts Rohit a bicycle and makes up with him. Now friends, the two play with Sanjay’s old computer and inadvertently send signals into space. An extraterrestrial spacecraft appears, causing a power outage in town. The ship leaves, accidentally leaving a group member behind. Rohit, Sonia, Nisha, and Rohit’s young friends befriend the alien, naming him Jadoo (Magic) after discovering his telekinetic abilities derive from sunlight.

Raj’s bullying upsets Rohit about not being up to par with Nisha’s intelligence. Jadoo discovers that Rohit is abnormal and uses his powers to enhance his mental and intellectual ability. Rohit’s mental and physical abilities increase to superhuman levels. He tells Nisha that he loves her; Nisha, though stunned at Rohit’s transformation, returns his feelings. Eventually, police are tipped off about Jadoo; led by Inspector Khurshid Khan, suspicious of Rohit, confronts him at his home. The police seize Jadoo and knock Rohit out. Rohit catches up to the police in time to save Jadoo from being sent to the United States. The flying saucer returns to retrieve Jadoo and Rohit shares an emotional farewell with his friend. As Jadoo leaves, Rohit reverts to his old self; this saves him from prosecution by the government, who congratulate him for his actions.

Raj and his friends later harass Rohit again, challenging him to kick a ball to them. Rohit angrily kicks the ball into Raj’s face after Jadoo permanently returns his superpowers. Rohit and Nisha thank Jadoo and get married.
