Plot

The film revolves around the family of Justice Dinanath, a man of integrity and a respected retired judge. He lives a peaceful life with his wife, Shanta, and their two sons: elder one is Ravi, a principled lawyer, and the younger one is Sunil, an honest and strong police inspector. Sunil is in love with a beautiful girl, Priya.

The family's harmony is disrupted by Mayor Kishan Chand, a ruthless and corrupt man who uses his power to commit crimes. Both Sunil and Ravi are a thorn in his side, constantly fighting his illegal activities and upholding justice. The conflict escalates when Kishan Chand's son, Teja, is caught and arrested by Inspector Sunil for molesting and murdering an employee who was a friend of Priya. Lawyer Ravi takes on the case, and when Kishan Chand tries to bribe them, Justice Dinanath firmly rejects his offer, emphasizing his commitment to justice. As a result, Teja is sentenced to life imprisonment, and Kishan Chand is removed from his position as mayor. Angry with Sunil and Ravi, Kishan Chand vows to destroy their family.

Meanwhile, Ravi brings home a woman named Sharda, a former prisoner he has fallen in love with and wishes to marry. The family, unaware of her past, grows fond of her. However, on the day of Ravi and Sharda's wedding, a prisoner named Jankidas arrives and claims to be Sharda's husband, presenting evidence to support his claim. This revelation shocks everyone and leads to the death of Justice Dinanath. Heartbroken, Ravi and Sharda leave the family home. Jankidas continues to torment them, and in a confrontation, a henchman of his is killed. Ravi is implicated in the crime.

Sunil's moral conviction is tested when his brother, Ravi, is accused of murder. Unaware of the true circumstances, Sunil arrests his brother, demonstrating his belief that no one is above the law. This action creates a rift within the family, but Sunil's commitment to his duty remains unshaken. It is at this point that Sharda reveals the full story. She and Ravi had been in love in college, and she had become pregnant. Jankidas, a man to whom she was indebted, forced her into a marriage to settle the debt. When she escaped to find Ravi, she was attacked by Jankidas's men, and in the ensuing fight, Ravi, badly hurt, killed one of them. To protect Ravi, Sharda took the blame and went to prison. She also reveals that her daughter, Jyoti, is Ravi's child.

Sunil learns the truth about the murder and his brother's innocence. Realizing they have been pawns in Kishan Chand's game, Sunil decides to bring the mayor and his accomplice, Jankidas, to justice. Ravi also joins Sunil to fight Kishan Chand and Jankidas. The story culminates in a final confrontation where the brothers bring the culprits to justice, and the family’s harmony is restored. The family accepts Sharda and Sunil unites with Priya.
