<p>Amateur boxer Ajay Mehra ( ) is living with his brother Ashok Mehra ( ) and sister-in-law Indu Verma ( ) in . Ashok is a businessman who is facing some trouble at his company but hides this from his wife and brother, Ajay. Later, Ajay is sent to for training. Ajay gets a message that his brother is in Bangalore. When he reaches the hotel, he finds that Ashok has already left without leaving any message for him. Later that day, he receives a call from Ashok, who, in an inebriated state, is trying to tell him something which has been troubling him for a long time, but the phone cuts abruptly. When he returns from Bangalore, he finds that his brother is missing. His inquiries and a police complaint only led him to frustration and violent outbursts. Some time later, he comes across Ashok’s friend ( ), a drug addict, who reveals all the dark secrets. Earlier, when Ashok faced losses in his business, a reputed businessman, Balwant Rai ( ), had come to his rescue. Balwant becomes a partner in Ashok’s company and settles all the debts. This arrangement is in fact a cover for Balwant’s illegal activities. Balwant routinely traps honest people to provide cover for his illegal business, and Ashok is one of his innocent victims. Initially, when Ashok resists, Balwant threatens him of dire consequences, but Ashok persists with his requests to shut down illegal trade. Later, Ashok collects evidence to frame Balwant, and that’s where the trouble starts. Balwant kidnaps Ashok and tortures him to reveal where he has kept the evidence. Somehow the henchmen of Balwant find out Ajay’s knowledge of this incriminating evidence, and Balwant instantly kills Ashok. Ajay is later framed for the murder and accused of having an illicit relationship with his sister-in-law. Ajay realises in court that the roots of evil are very deep and even his near ones have turned hostile towards him. His faith in the law is crushed, and he seeks justice his own way. His sister-in-law is not able to bear the trauma and cruel comments of her neighbours and commits suicide. While in jail, Ajay makes friends with some other hardcore convicts, who are good at heart. Then one day, they escape from the jail by overpowering the guards. Then begins Ajay’s fight for justice to take down Balwant Rai. One by one, he takes down the cronies of Balwant, who had framed him in the murder. Varsha is captured by Balwant, but Ajay rescues her and chases Balwant to an amusement park. He beats up Balwant before the police pull them apart and arrest Balwant. Varsha comes and embraces Ajay while slipping him a secret gun. In a form of poetic justice, Ajay fatally shoots Balwant in front of people and police, who are meek witnesses. The film ends as Ajay gets arrested. initially wanted to make the film with in the lead role, but was hesitant as the actor’s previous Hindi films did not perform well.
