Plot

Ajay Shastri, an unemployed graduate, dreams of joining the police force but faces opposition from his principled father, Raghuvansh Shastri. Desperate, he borrows money and bribes officials, but when his father exposes the corruption, Ajay turns to crime. A failed kidnapping lands him in trouble with Gaya Singh, a henchman of powerful MLA and underworld don Tabrez Alam.

Ajay eventually joins Tabrez's gang and rises to power in Bihar's kidnapping racket. However, political betrayals and his father's moral influence lead him to turn against Tabrez. After being imprisoned, Ajay kills Tabrez when he visits him in jail but is gunned down in return, ending both their lives.
