The exception is honorable Masterji, who runs a school for child laborers; Chotu / Amar is one of them. Chotu is courageous and helpful to his friends. Once, Kalinath tries to intrude a minor girl into prostitution whom Chotu saves. Begrudged, Kalinath penalizes him for a crime.
Years roll by, and Amar returns to his area. At that point, he spots that gangsterism has peaked in control of Baba Bhatti, the son of Kalinath. He is surprised to see Masterji as a beggar and finds his friends. Annoyed with turbulence, Amar becomes a justice-seeking ruffian and declares war against Baba Bhatti. Inspector Kailash, a sheer cop, clashes with Amar as he moves out of the law. Kailash lives with his wife, Pooja & sister, Poonam. Amar & Poonam fall in love, which Kailash opposes and affronts Amar. Accordingly, Pooja is the girl Amar safeguards in childhood, but lest makes her quiet.
Meanwhile, Kalinath returns. Baba Bhatti counterfeits him as a patriot and contests him in the election. Here, Amar recognizes and bursts out when Kailash apprehends him. Thus, Pooja divulges the actuality to Kailash when he understands the virtue of Amar. Now, Kailash brings out the nefarious shade of Kalinath. Therefore, the black guards keep the area under threat. At last, Kailash & Amar rescue them and cease the baddies. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note.
