Pyaasa (Eternally Thirsty) is a 2002 Hindi film directed by A. Muthu. The film tells the story of Suraj (Aftab Shivdasani), a young man, full of dreams, aspirations, 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 a lot of money with her.
Pyaasa is a love triangle with revenge as its base. Suraj (Aftab ) aspires to be a millionaire some day, but all hopes of making it big are squashed by his father, (Govind Namdeo) and uncle (Anang Desai), who don't approve of selling their ancestral land. Sheetal (Yukta Mookhey), a tycoon, hires Suraj to work for her business empire. Prem (Zulfi Syed) is Suraj's cousin and an accomplished businessman, who 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, Anang Desai. How Suraj faces up to Sheetal and thwarts her motives forms the rest of the story.
Pyaasa was one of the biggest flops at the box office 2002.
