	A smart police officer, Ramesh Singh (Dev Kumar) is assigned by the Police Commissioner (Satyendra Kapoor) to the task of arresting Raja and bringing him to justice. Much of the movie revolves around the careful attempts made by Ramesh to capture Raja and the clever ways in which Raja and his accomplices (Bindu, Ranvir Raj, Mac Mohan) are able to retard these attempts and escape being caught by the police. During the course of these actions, a love interest develops between Raja and Sheela (Saira Banu).

	Will Raja be punished ultimately for being the dacoit who looted and killed the wealthy? Will he leave a legacy for being the savior who pillaged the wealthy and returned their wealth to the poor, to whom this wealth supposedly belonged? The movie progresses with letting viewers decide whether Raja was just another bandit or a savior of the poor.<ref>{{cite web\|url= https://fee.org/articles/robin-hood-man-of-the-people-or-destructive-thief/\|title= Robin Hood: Man of the People or Destructive Thief?\|first=Phillip\|last=Parrish\|publisher= Foundation for Economic Education \|date=April 24, 2017\|access-date=July 12, 2021}}</ref>		Will Raja be punished ultimately for being the dacoit who looted and killed the wealthy?
