Plot[edit | edit source]
Shankar Verma lives a poor lifestyle with his mom, Shanti, in India after his father, Satpal Verma died many years ago. Before his death he was involved with a courtesan by the name of Meenabai. Years later, Shankar has now grown up and finds himself the object of affection of two beautiful women, Sunita - who is wealthy and is the daughter of Bhanu Pratap Singh, and Madhu - who is poor and lives with her parents, Hariya and Tara (who are servants of Thakur Bhanu Pratap). Both women think that Shankar is in love with them. Shankar is subsequently hired by a wealthy woman named Amita who wants him to spy on Thakur Bhanu Pratap, Balram, Jackie, & Bhanu's partner, Kedar. Shankar manages to become a driver in Thakur Bhanu Pratp household and goes about this task of spying and keeps reporting his findings to Amita regularly. One day while talking to villagers, he finds out that his dad had a bad reputation and had not only betrayed the villagers, but had also killed Thakur Bhanu Pratap's younger brother, Shashi. His inquiries take him to Central Jail, but on arrival, he is told by the jail superintendent that his father had finished serving his life sentence & was released & after his release had died (just 6 months ago) at the Brothel of Meenabai. This was a surprise to Shankar as he & his mother Shanti had been under the impression that his father Satpal Verma had died much earlier many years ago. Shankar then sets out to find out the whereabouts of Meenabai, but her brothel had caught fire & was destroyed and now no one knows her whereabouts. Little does Shankar know that Meenabai is still alive in the shape and form of none other than Amita - and is using Shankar as a tool to extract vengeance against Bhanu Pratap!
