God's justice which is also known as divine justice or Destiny is the ultimate justice. There are times however when the law takes a strong step and delivers a stunning slap in the face of crime, a slap which shakes up everything and everyone involved. It proves to be the ultimate slap (Tamacha). 

Vicky and Raju were the best of friends during their childhood, friends who were willing to sacrifice their lives for one another. They were ignorant of the fact they were also related (their fathers were brothers). Circumstances played some strange games with Vicky. His mother died soon after giving birth to his younger brother. His father was sent to jail and Vicky was forced to take up the responsibility of bringing up his younger brother. Vicky is forced to become a leading smuggler in the city. 

He is now known as Vikram Pratap Singh and Raju now Rajeev a C.B.I. Officer, is given the responsibility and the challenge to arrest Vikram Pratap Singh. The two friends now become enemies with the help of a cruel game played by destiny. Rajeev knows that VikramPratap is a criminal but he cannot arrest him because he has no evidence. He finds the required evidence one day but VikramPratap refuses to surrender. Rajeev takes some stern and cruel steps. He fires at

VikramPratap's little son with VikramPratap as a shocked eye witness. He kidnaps VikramPratap's wife and shoots his brother. Vikram Pratap screams for revenge and vows to destroy Rajeev. Vikram Pratap and Rajeev come face to face and they are about to kill each other when destiny comes in the way again and delivers a stunning slap on VikramPratap and he is shocked. The result of that resounding slap has a startling impact on VikramPratap, Rajeev, and all the characters involved in the story. See the screen explode with excitement and entertainment, extraordinary in 'Tamacha'.
