For centuries a great and rich country like India has been robbed many a time by foreign invaders. And this is mostly because they have been helped by traitors from within our country. Such traitors are present even now. These who play to the tunes of our enemy counties and try to destabilize India. Their aim is to weaken our country by creating communal riots, misleading the youth and destroying the economy of the country. Their game is that they are rewarded handsomely by the enemy countries and they carry out the clandestine work with the power of money. To fight such traitors and terrorism in the country Senior Superintendent of Police Amar is entrusted with the work. Amar is the same child whose happy childhood was marred by the traitor-Goga.

On the other side, Amar is getting closer to the culprits and in rage shoots Deshpande and his men at the point blank range.
Amar surrenders himself and is awarded death penalty. Karim and Hariharan, who have great respect for Amar and for his happiness, dissolve their enimity and pledge to work together for the country and to bring the guilty to task. The story takes a turn when Amar in police custody, has a re-union with his lost mother, brother and a sister. Brijbhan cannot faid a better way to take out his old revenge on Amar and tortures Amar's family members. The arrival of Karim and Hariharan wipe out the army of Brijbhan but not before maximum damage has been done-Munni Amar's sister, becomes insance and Amar's mother and brother are wished away by Brijbhan. Fate has its own way of bringing old childhood friends Amar and Shalu face to face. These lovers passed half their lives remembering each other and now they are finally united-even if momentarily. Before Amar is taken to the gallows, he maks a dramatic escape to complete the unfinished work. In the climax it is Amar, aided by Karim and Hariharan, who together play havoc with the lives of Brijbhan and his army and bring their empire crashing down to earth.
