Plot

The film begins with an election campaign in which Surya Prakash young wily contests and wins with the highest majority. Then, he feints his beau Sandhya a law student, as a scapegoat for his gain. Thus, Sandhya loathes and discards him despite pregnancy. After a few years, Surya Prakash raises to minister. Besides, Kanwarlal is a daredevil businessman, justice-seeking hoodlum, and deity to the destitute. Surya Prakash antagonizes him to climb forward, so, the rivalry erupts. Surya Prakash exposes the illegal activities of Kanwarlal and files up the case. Further, he suborns public prosecutor Chathursen who accumulates the pieces of evidence. However, Kanwarlal is acquitted by heisting the file from Chathursen's junior Sandhya with guile. Accordingly, Sandhya is accused and arrested. Knowing it, Kanwarlal provides bail and tries to support her which she denies. The next, Surya Prakash too denounces Sandhya but she pluckily faces the consequences and starts her practice. Once, a lawbreaker John Johnny Janardhan approaches her and she surrenders him to Police. So, to avenge, he abducts her child when Surya Prakash omits to aid her. Hence, she seeks Kanwarlal who safely recoups the child. Moreover, he appoints Sandhya as his lawyer and she successfully pulls ahead whereby, he loves her and she also adores him. Parallelly, the battle between Kanwarlal & Surya Prakash ignites who moves the pawns and checkmates. Now, Surya Prakash gets despised which leads to his resignation. So, he plots to become Chief Minister through treason and also slaughters Kanwarlal’s men. Here, Kanwarlal explodes and demolishes the vicious political forces. On the verge of killing Surya Prakash, he backs knowing him as the father of Sandhya's child. Tragically, Kanwarlal is backstabbed by Surya Prakash one that heckles him. At last, Kanwarlal virtuously knocks him down at his feet. Finally, the movie ends with Kanwarlal leaving his breath on Sandhya‘s lap.
