Plot

Once upon a time, there were two kingdoms, Avanti & Gandhar. Vikram Singh is a gallant Chief Commander of Gandhar ruled by Sharminder Bhupati, who elongates the kingdom from 4 sides. Its princess, Alakananda, endears him. The vicious chief minister, Bhanu Pratap, connivances to eliminate the heir, Alakananda, which Vikram senses and safeguards her. However, crafty Bhanu Pratap impeaches Vikram and ostracizes him. Besides, Aditya Vardhan, the prince of Avanti and doppelganger of Vikram, is turned into an abuser by his pernicious mentor Acharya Abhang Dev to chair his son Ugrarahu, the next heir. He also intrigues by sculpting a venomous beauty, Chandana, to slay Aditya, and Aditya falls for her. Moreover, Abhang Dev creates mayhem in both kingdoms. Hence, as a countermove, Vikram secretly builds an army and thwarts their felonious. Meanwhile, Sharminder Bhupati announces the crowning ceremony of Alakananda. Being cognizant of it, Abhang Dev accumulates the traitor vassals, and it is uncovered that Abhang Dev & Bhanu Pratap are siblings, and they move the pawns. Initially, they heist the prestigious crown of Gandhar and ploy to squat the fort. Vikram checkmates the conspiracy and accomplishes the celebration when Bhanu Pratap and other traitors are expelled. Chandana, perceiving herself as a toxin, attempts suicide when Vikram saves and rebounds her. In her absence, Aditya freaks out and wanders. Exploiting it, Abhang Dev seeks to slaughter him, but Vikram shields him. Now, Aditya requests Vikram to deputize his position for annihilating the violations and ameliorating the lifestyles of the public. Vikram obeys and does so by contributing revolutionary changes to the Constitution. Over time, he reinstates Aditya and knits him with Chandana. Abhang Dev bowed a subterfuge here by forging Aditya as an imposter Vikram and sentencing him to death. At last, Vikram hiatuses the rues, ceases the knaves, and defines serenity. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriage of Vikram Singh & Alakananda.
