Plot

The British government have taken over their rule in a deserted region in India, but some of the people there strive for freedom. One of these brave freedom fighters is Palay Khan, who owes his intelligence to the entire region. When British soldiers attack, he is always present to defend, and now he and his gang are wanted by the British, no stone is left unturned to catch him, but all ways prove futile until one day, a British officer by the name of Gulbaaz Khan manages to abduct one of Palay Khan loyal associates, Amar Singh and held him captive until Palay Khan surrenders. But in retaliation, Palay and his gang kidnap Helen, the daughter of British General Bonz, but eventually, Palay and Helen fall in love. This love might as well bring about the change in hatred for love between the British government and the freedom fighters.
