Plot
The movie opens with a brutal night raid, where a gang of thugs slaughters an entire family, sparing only a baby. That child grows up to be Arjun (Rajniesh Duggal), a charming young man making ends meet with odd jobs in Germany. His journey there unfolds through an extended flashback, revealing that his foster father, Papaji (Ranjeet), emotionally coerced him into leaving India.
In Germany, Arjun reconnects with Anupama (Subhashree Ganguly), his college sweetheart from Uttar Pradesh, and romance blossoms. After a few dreamy song sequences featuring foreign dancers, Arjun returns to India to care for Papaji, who soon falls victim to an attack by local goons. These villains turn out to be ambitious politicians with deep ties to Arjun’s past.
The question remains: can Arjun, now hardened by his time abroad, piece together the puzzle of his haunted history and confront those who destroyed his family?

Reception
A review in India Today was very critical of the production[5] as was one in the Times of India.[6] Paloma Sharma of Rediff gave the movie 1/2 out of 4 stars and wrote "The editing is horrendous. Scenes have been randomly placed here and there. The editor and director probably set out to make a three-part series but have now fit everything. The film is like a shabby pile of scenes that sometimes make sense but generally don't. Spark's title, like everything else about it, is random"[7].
