Plot
Kranti Kumar, an honest Police Inspector, lives with his grandparents. He goes to a small town in Southern India to be introduced to a prospective bride, Koyel, the daughter of Gopinath. The Police Inspector falls head over heels in love with Koyel and wants to marry her. Koyel too falls in love with him. When the time comes for finalizing the marriage, a man comes forward alleging that the Police Inspector is not who he claims to be, but was born out of wedlock and does not know who his father is. This leads to the postponement of the marriage.
The inspector questions his grandparents who he is and who his father was. His grandfather recounts the life of Kranti's mother, Gayatri. How Amavas had drugged and raped her (Gayatri), and refused to acknowledge her after he had won a local election, helped by a shady politician. He would have gone onto lure innocent public and plunder the nation.
Watch as this story shows how greed and avarice can encompass even the simplest of men and transform them into monsters. Mithun Chakraborty plays a double role in this movie.
