Plot
editThe film begins with a sincere Constable, Viswanath, living with his wife, Usha, elder son, Vijay, and twin boys. Once, a stranger, Bashir Ahmed, surrenders to Viswanath, confessing his sin of stealing Rs.10 lakhs. At that juncture, a spiteful & covetous Inspector, Tejaa, connives by killing Viswanath and incriminates Bashir Ahmed. Witnessing it, Usha escapes with the children when, tragically, one of the twins dies. During that plight, she decides to immerse the corpse in the river but, unfortunately, throws the living child—moreover, Tejaa re-attacks, which Vijay also detaches.
Years roll by, and Tejaa grows up as a kingpin in the netherworld. Vijay is self-made, as unbeknownst, he antagonizes Tejaa by filing a suit against his son Joginder, the murder convict. Hence, Tejaa falsifies the judiciary in cahoots with Justice Nyaychand Rastogi and purports an orphan, Ravi, as Joginder, who is Usha's surviving twin son. Besides, Vikram is a self-righteous ruffian. Tejaa detects his caliber and whisks him to thwart his die-hard enemy, Vijay. Meena is a pickpocket that often contretemps with Vijay, and they fall in love. Fortuitously, by her, Vijay finds his mother's whereabouts and retrieves her.
Now, the venomous arraigns Vijay under false allegation. Meanwhile, Bashir Ahmed is released when he detects and revolts on Tejaa, but the Police seize him. Here, Vikram turns into a CBI officer appointed to nail Tejaa. The next, Bashir Ahmed comes across Usha, through whom Vikram learns the bestialities of Tejaa. Forthwith, he meets Vijay in prison to pursue Tejaa's vengefulness against him. Prior, his close friend Dr. Premnath broke his kidney racket of Tejaa on the day of his nuptial with Advocate Shraddha. After tying the wedding chain, Joginder shoots him dead. Before dying, he affirms the culprit's name, and Vijay still struggles for justice. However, Vikram acquits Vijay, and he loves his widow Shraddha. Ongoing, unexpectedly, Meena is shown as Tejaa's daughter. Despite this, she stands for righteousness, and Vijay accepts her. Ravi is in love with his collegian Usha, granddaughter of Dinu, the allegiant of Vijay, whom he treats as his own. Then, Usha identifies Ravi as her son and embraces him. Accordingly, Tejaa seizes her and extorts Ravi. Thus, he is compelled to concede as Joginder and takes up the death row.
