Plot

Back in the 1990s, an aspiring IAS student started a rebellion against the caste-based reservation to be implemented by the Mandal Commission.

Daddu is madly in love with Jhulan. They both have an on-and-off relationship with each other. Loha Bhaiya is a local goon who wants to be taken seriously as a politician and is backed by one of the known politicians in the area.

Daddu, Jhulan, and their friends are studying and planning to take exams to become IAS officers one day. Jhulan knows her potential and works hard to achieve her dream. Daddu, on the other hand, wants to leak papers and pass just so he can ask Jhulan's parents if he could marry her. He is seen leaking a few papers with the help of Loha Bhaiya, who gets a fair share of the amount they collect by selling these papers to students.

One day there comes news that V.P Singh government has made up its mind to implement the report put forth by the Mandal Commission, which talked about giving reservations to socially backward classes. There were widespread protests held all over India, and in Allahabad, Loha wants to take advantage of this situation. He pushes Daddu to fuel the fire and get students in his campus to protest against the Mandal Commission.

While all this is happening, Jhulan breaks up with him and plans to get married off to an IAS officer who is naive and believes her stress to be nervousness. On the day riots are at their highest and students get arrested, including Daddu, Jhulan is getting married the same day and Daddu gets to know about it.

He disguises himself as a policeman and goes to the station only to learn that Jhulan is already married and has given sleeping pills to her husband. They both flee from there and go to Loha's place. Before they leave from there, so that no one knows Jhulan is not with her husband, Loha insists Daddu go to the riots one last time and lead the crowd.

Loha has planned to burn Daddu alive, which is noticed by his best friend, and he pushes Daddu and gets burned himself. When Daddu finally comprehends that this was Loha's plan all along, he kills Loha and his brother. The movie ends with Jhulan and Daddu going to meet the president about the request to stop Mandal Commission.
