Plot
Vishwanath, an honest lawyer, is implicated and arrested at the behest of the underworld don GNK and his associates. After his release, Vishwanath decides to seek revenge, but realises it is nearly impossible to do this through the due process of law. Hence, he decides to change his identity, hire a gang of thugs and assassins, to carry out his vendetta. Vishwanath does not realize that in doing this he is alienating himself from the love of his life, Soni; and making himself a wanted man, leaving his crippled sister, Munni and mother, Shanti to fend for themselves, and at the mercy of GNK and his associates.
