Plot
editIn a town plagued by mysterious murders every Amavasya, Inspector Pratap Tungare leads the investigation, with CID Inspector Mahesh Chaudhari's assistance. Tungare holds a grudge against criminal lawyer Advocate Potbhare, who has a history of defending Tungare's arrested suspects. Adding complexity, Potbhare's daughter loves local detective Laxmikanth Lokhande (Lakshya). The latest victim, Raosaheb Nimbalkar, prompts a reward announcement by his brother Bapusaheb. In a twist, Lakshya and his assistant Ranga devise a plan: frame Lakshya as the murderer, collect the reward, and then use it to secure Lakshya's release with Potbhare's legal aid. It's a convoluted scheme in the pursuit of truth and, perhaps, personal gain.
