Lazy and unemployed Pratap Narayan Tilak (Nana Patekar), who at a very young age was thrown out of his village by his mother for disobeying her orders, meets famous journalist Meghna Dixit (Dimple Kapadia). Megha persuades Pratap to be a champion of justice for those around him, defend their rights and make them independent. However, he runs into strong resistance, from within his very own community, the police, and some very powerful and influential politicians. Unable to bear the injustice, Pratap decides to take the law into his own hands, resulting in chaos and violence, thus giving rise to a saga of revenge and corruption within his own people.
