Plot summary
Set in 1996 in the village of Azadganj, Udaan is the story of the bonded labourers of a wealthy landlord, Kamal Narayan Rajvanshi (Sai Ballal), also known as Bhaiyaji. The story features the female protagonist Chakor (Spandan Chaturvedi), who is kept as collateral (girvhi). While Chakor's mother Kasturi Bhuvan (Sai Deodhar) is pregnant with her, her father, Hariya, dies in an accident. Bhuvan (Rajiv Kumar) has neither money nor a cow to donate to Pandit for Hariya's funeral, so Bhuvan and Kasturi go to Bhaiyaji's haveli and beg for money from him. Instead, his wife Tejaswini (Prachee Pathak) suggests that they keep the unborn child as a collateral. The couple agrees that the child can be Rajvanshi's bonded labourer. Kasturi gives birth to a daughter, Chakor, on the night of a full moon. Tejaswini allows them to take her home for seven years; then she must be brought back to haveli to serve.
After seven years (2003), Chakor enters the haveli. She is a fearless, kind-hearted, and an intelligent girl. In the haveli, she meets and makes friends with Vivaan son of Bhaiyaji's younger brother Manohar. With Vivaan's help, Chakor escapes from haveli but is dragged back into slavery by her mother. While being supported by Ishwar Rawat, (Sandeep Baswana) she dreams of freedom. Ishwar is Aditya Rawat's father, a free spirited collector from Lucknow. He adores Chakor like a daughter and wants her to study. Chakor goes to school where Arjun Khanna (Vineet Raina), a physical education trainer, enters her life.
Ishwar is determined, against all odds, that Chakor be educated. He takes her to Lucknow to seek his family's support. His father, Purshottam, is fearful of Bhaiyaji and tries to return Chakor to him. Ishwar is arrested on a false charge by Bhaiyaji, who argues that Ishwar kept Chakor in his home illegally in order to sell her. To protect Ishwar, Chakor faces a difficult decision between saving the man who helped her, and her own education. She vows that she will abandon the idea of getting an education. Arjun enters Azadganj to help Chakor and Ishwar. Vivaan also enters Azadganj. Chakor meets Bhagya, (Sheetal Pandya) Bhaiyaji's daughter. Arjun and Bhagya fall in love. Ishwar sends Bhaiyaji to jail. Arjun and Bhagya are happily married. Ishwar dies in a bomb blast set by Bhaiyaji. After Ishwar's death, Bhaiyaji is released.
Bhaiyaji does not accept Arjun as his son-in-law and wants to kill Arjun. Bhaiyaji and Manohar see a girl, Chunni, in Delhi, who looks like Chakor. They gave her ₹50 lakhs to act as Chakor. Arjun takes Bhagya to Lucknow. Bhaiyaji and Manohar come to Azadganj with Chunni. Kasturi and others are happy to see Chakor. Bhaiyaji learns that Arjun took Bhagya to Lucknow and becomes very angry. Finally, it is revealed that Chunni is Chakor's twin-sister. Bhaiyaji kills Chunni. Chakor goes to the rainbow circus, unaware of Chunni's death. She bravely exposes the murderer in the circus and then travels to perform in Bhaiyaji and Ranjana's wedding after Ranjana (Ginnie Virdi) kills Manohar. Ranjana marries Bhaiyaji. Bhayiaji tries to kill Chakor but Arjun re-enters Azadganj and saves her. Bhayiaji gets angry and captures her dadi to maintain his grip over the fearful villagers. Arjun asks Chakor to give her 10 years to him and she agrees.
After ten years
The show leaps ahead ten years. The story now follows a grown up Chakor (Meera Deosthale). Chakor is trained under Arjun Khanna. Arjun and his wife Bhagya took care of her like their own daughter. She grows up with a dream: to free Azaadganj from the clutches of Kamal Narayan Rajvanshi. She enters Azaadganj after gaining fame by winning various races. Upon returning to Azaadganj she learns that her dadi was killed by Kamal Narayan, and that her sister Imli (Vidhi Pandya) has been brainwashed against her. She has now become loyal to Kamal Narayan and his son Suraj (Vijayendra Kumeria). She meets Vivaan (Paras Arora) who she feels is not normal and is always in a semi-conscious state. She soon finds out that he is in fact being drugged by Tejaswini. Vivaan eventually quits drugs for Chakor's sake. Together, Vivaan and Chakor successfully conspire against Kamal Narayan to end his reign of terror. He and his son are jailed for their crimes. The whole village celebrates and Vivaan proposes to Chakor who accepts.
Suraj, with the help of Imli, manages to get out of jail and vows revenge against Chakor and Vivaan. Suraj fixes his marriage with Tina (Vinny Arora) who is the daughter of a rich businessmen in Delhi. Imli informs Suraj that she is pregnant with his kid. But Suraj refuses to accept her and ask her to go for an abortion. A shocked and broken Imli tries to commit suicide. But Chakor saves her on time and promises to make her marry Suraj . Chakor's marriage gets fixed with Vivaan on the same day as Suraj's marriage with Tina. Chakor learns that Tina is forced into this marriage and with the help of Tina, Vivaan and Imli she plans to swap Tina with Imli and make her get married to Suraj. Chakor manages to help Tina runaway on the wedding day and makes Imli ready as a bride for Suraj. Suraj learns about the bridal swap and with the help of Tejaswini he swaps Imli and Chakor. Eventually without anyone's knowledge Suraj marries Chakor. Everyone is unaware of this as both brides had covered their faces with dupattas and the grooms too had covered their faces with sehra. After marriage, everyone is shocked as Chakor had married Suraj and Vivaan had married Imli. Suraj manages to put the blame for bridal swap on Chakor's head and everyone believes it including Vivaan and Imli, shattering Chakor.
After a trail of turmoil, Chakor decides to divorce Suraj and Imli and Vivaan also decide the same. Kamal Narayan is discovered dead and Suraj blackmails Chakor not to divorce him by faking Imli’s involvement in Kamal Narayan’s murder. A shattered Chakor now decides to save Imli and Vivaan’s marriage considering Imli’s pregnancy. Vivaan accepts Imli and her child. Some subtle turn of events and Chakor records Suraj’s confession to the bride swap fiasco and proves him guilty. Imli severs all ties with Suraj. Suraj revenges Chakor by turning the tables and making Imli and Vivaan realise that Chakor wishes to stay with him. Suraj keeps on using Chakor’s “sports star” status to make money. Gradually, he starts developing weakness towards his unborn child and softens towards Imli who now has no plans to give Suraj any chance.
Ragini (Vandana Singh) makes a come-back, only to be discovered later on that she is negative and is helping Kamal Narayan who is actually alive. Suraj’s weakness towards his child grows and he starts caring for Imli and wanting her back in his life. He confesses Chakor that he loves Imli. He finally confesses all his crimes and proposes Imli who snubs him. Chakor is proved innocent and Suraj apologises to her. Imli has a miscarriage. Vivaan proposes Imli and they start a happy life. Suraj is broken and he vents out his anger in different ways on Chakor. Suraj and Chakor decide to divorce each other.
Meanwhile, Kamal Narayan returns and terrifies every one. Suraj and Imli team up to fool Kamal Narayan but that doesn’t work. We see a new turn in Suraj and Chakor’ story when Chakor faints in Suraj’s arms on the night of Karwa Chauth. They exchange some light moments in the dinner and become friendly. Kamal Narayan plans to kill Suraj in the Diwali party and Chakor saves him. Chakor decides to get back to Suraj as his wife for his safety. Suraj and Chakor now try solving the puzzle of Kamal Narayan escaping from jail and find that a goon called ‘Yogesh Bhai’ can help them.
Kamal Narayan and Ragini try every way to make Suraj and Chakor divorce each other but they fail. Ragini throws Tejaswini out of the house and Chakor makes Tejaswini stay at her Mai-Bapu’s house. Ranjana calls media to prove the false relation between Suraj and Chakor but they manage to convince the media. Suraj and Chakor get kidnapped by Yogesh Bhai’s goons and Yogesh Bhai mistakes Chakor as Imli and tries marrying her forcefully. Suraj saves her in time and punches Yogesh Bhai. Suraj and Chakor manage to find Jailor Yadav and Chakor goes to find another clue leaving Suraj with Jailor Yadav. We find that Jailor Yadav has been blackmailed by Ragini to kill Suraj. Vivaan reaches there on time to save Suraj and Chakor reaches later on realising that everything was a trap. She hugs Suraj. They cook up a plan and when Kamal Narayan and Ragini reach the spot to celebrate Suraj’s death, Suraj , Chakor and Vivaan check-mate him and make him realise that his plans failed once again.
Chakor receives a letter from the sports commission and leaves for Delhi. Suraj gets to know of this whole drama being Kamal Narayan’s plan and goes after Chakor. They go on a love-filled adventurous trip where Chakor gets into trouble among some goons and Suraj saves her after they miss their bus. They end up reaching a village where they remarry owing to some celebrations going in that village. The next day Chakor faces her worst nightmare as she discovers that she has been banned for failing the drug test by sports authority. Suraj consoles her in all her steps further by handling the media, supporting her and helping her take the right decisions. It is revealed that the whole drug fiasco was Kamal Narayan’s plan. On Suraj’s advice, Chakor takes retirement with plans of re-joining athletics later.
Meanwhile, Kamal Narayan traps Suraj to kill him but again, Chakor saves him and plans to send him away somewhere. She successfully sends him away with Shikhu (Suraj’s servant). They bid each other an emotional farewell. Kamal Narayan gets bewildered and kidnaps Kasturi to make Chakor reveal Suraj’s location but fails. Chakor gets to know of Suraj’s plannings for her birthday and gets overwhelmed. Amidst Chakor’s birthday celebrations, Kamal Narayan plants bomb in the basti but Chakor successfully saves everyone. Suraj is brought back to Azaadganj since Shikhu betrays him on Ragini’s instructions. Suraj and Chakor share some last moments of love thinking an expected death to be approaching Suraj. The next day, it’s not death but Kamal Narayan plans to make Suraj his Bandhua. He is branded and Chakor breaks down not being able to save him. Meanwhile, Vivaan is accused in a false molestation case and loses his job, he struggles hard to save himself. Suraj’s health deteriorates being deprived of food and water and Chakor leaves no stones unturned in making every effort to provide him with food and water but in vain.
Suraj finally gets water. Suraj health further deteriorates without food and finally comes the day of Makar Sankranti. Kamal Narayan asks Chakor to win a kite-flying competition against Ragini in order to get Suraj food but makes Chakor lose by playing a foul game. They tease Suraj and in further turn of events, in order to punish Chakor, they humiliate her by splashing water on her. Suraj breaks his shackles and saves Chakor and hugs her. Suraj realises that Chakor is facing difficulties due to him and asks Chakor to leave him but Chakor doesn’t listen. Kamal Narayan asks Suraj to bow down to him in order to get food but Suraj denies. Chakor hurts herself and makes Suraj realise that he needs to have food so that he can safe-guard Chakor. Kamal Narayan cheats them again. Suraj is asked to mend wells in the village and Chakor decides to help him. This doesn’t go well with the villagers instigated by Kamal Narayan and they throw Suraj into the well. Chakor jumps into the well hoping the villagers would save her and finally him but her plans fail. They spend a night inside the well. The events turn emotional and they realise they are the only supporters of each other. Chakor gives mental strength to Suraj and promises to let nothing happen to him.
