But their life changes when Inspector Mauli gets transferred to a village where there are no laws, and the whole village is afraid of Nana (Jitendra Joshi), a powerful goon who closed down the temple of God Mauli.

After he gets transferred, he falls in love with Renuka (Saiyami Kher), who mistakenly thinks that he is a brave officer. When Inspector Mauli gets beaten, his brother, Mauli, fights back and gives all the credit to his brother, making him a brave officer in front of the village. However, nobody can come to the understanding that they are twin brothers.

When Mauli becomes an obstacle for Nana, he kills him, through which, everybody in the village finds out the truth. Inspector Mauli becomes weak without his brother but decides to kill Nana to save the village and take his revenge.
