Plot

Kuntol is suffering from suicidal depression as he is unable to cope up with the fact that he is responsible for his brother's death as well as his mother's paralysis. He is rescued from the railway tracks by Sudarshan, an eccentric man, who comes up with a policy wherein the nominee gets a huge amount of money if the policy-holder meets an accidental death. Sudarshan suggests that Kuntol be the policy-holder and he himself be the nominee, so that after Kuntol's suicide, Sudarshan will take care of Kuntol's mother as well as pay for his sister Kusum's surgery with the policy-money. Though Kuntol agrees at first, he is unable to commit suicide after he falls in love with Alo, who is revealed to be none other than Sudarshan's sister. Thereafter, Sudarshan becomes hellbent on killing Kuntol so as to pay for his mortally ill sister's treatment. What results is a life-and-death game between Kuntol and Sudarshan.
