An honest lawyer, Vishwanath is implicated and imprisoned at the behest of powerful underworld don, GNK and his associates.

Not realizing that in doing this he is alienating himself from the love of his life, Soni; and making himself a wanted man by the police, leaving his crippled sister, Munni and mom, Shanti to fend for themselves, and at the mercy of GNK and his associates.
