Plot

Jabbar Bahkshi is the conservative eldest son of the Bahkshi household in modern-day Bombay, India, and rules the entire family with an iron hand. He finds out his sister, Sabina Bahkshi, is in a relationship with Iqbal, and is angered because it is against his culture. Sabina and Iqbal elope and get married, and decide to stay away from the Bahkshi family. Jabbar hunts them down and kills Iqbal with a sword. Shocked at this brutality at the hands of her brother, Sabina stabs herself with the same sword and dies instantly. Jabbar is arrested by the Bombay Police, and is sentenced to twelve years in prison. His mother is devastated at Sabina's death and decides never to forgive him. After twelve years, Jabbar returns home and finds that his past rules are not being observed, and quickly re-asserts his authority, while his mother refuses to have to do anything with him. Jabbar meets his niece, Neelima Bahkshi, and is shocked to find her the very image of Sabina. He finds out that Neelima is in relationship with a young man, but Neelima, out of fear, denies this. She is indeed in a relationship with Sameer Roshan. When they find out what happened to her aunt, they decide to run away from Bombay and Jabbar. When Jabbar learns of this he is angered, and his anger turns into blind rage when he finds out that Sameer is a Hindu, and he swears to kill them both. The news gets out of a Hindu boy and a Muslim girl eloping, and spreads like wildfire, arousing old flames, and creating a growing rift between the Hindus and the Muslims. Extreme elements on both the Hindu and the Muslim sides decide to get involved, and Jabbar decides that he will hunt them and kill them, and if necessary let history repeat itself.
