Plot

The film begins in a village where village head Amar makes the area prosperous and antagonizes an autocrat, Kalicharan. Amar falls for Savitri, the daughter of Kalicharan. Knowing it, he seeks to kill Amar via a traditional professional killer, Ram Shastri. Shastri asks Kalicharan to wait until he completes demonic prayers. However, Kalicharan buries Amar temporarily. Amar proceeds to heaven, where he creates turmoil and encounters Indra. Afterwards, he is moved to hell, where, too, he gives rise to mayhem and revolts against Yama and Chitragupta. When things calm down Yama decides to reform the laws of hell. Amar, Yama and Chitragupta land on Earth in human form for a lookout. Amar is restored to his life with a promise to return upon their arrival. By that time, police are searching for Amar and suspect Kalicharan. Amar approaches Kalicharan as Ram Ghulam, whom Kali Charan forges as Amar, and he starts mocking him. Parallelly, Yama and Chitragupta face several challenges and are seized by the police but Amar helps rescues them. Being exhausted, they decide to go back, which makes Amar anxious. He invites them and accordingly Savitri serves them with adoration and asks for a boon to knit her beau, which they accept. At the time of the wedding, Amar is under the veil and Yama blesses the couple's long life releasing Amar from death. Suddenly, Kalicharan fires on Amar. Here, in a flash, Amar wakes up from the dream. At last, it is revealed that Ram Shastri is Amar’s friend Ram Ghulam, who divulges it all to be a farce and Kalicharan also pleads pardon. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Amar and Savitri.
