Plot

[edit]

Ravi Verma, a careless boy, lives with his elder brother Ranjeet Verma. Ranjeet is a lawyer and works for Veljibhai Soda, who is a criminal. Veljibhai has an order to forcefully acquire a land which belongs to a freedom fighter Ustad Ali Mohammed. Ali wants to build up a children's park at that site. Ravi somehow gets into the picture and Veljibhai asks him to go there and warn Ali to leave the land immediately. Ravi is suffering from brain tumor and while throwing things out of Ali's house, he falls on the floor. Ali takes him to the hospital.

When Ravi gains consciousness, he realises that he had been doing wrong and changes his mind. He realises his duties and now wants to save Ali's land at any cost from Veljibhai. Veljibhai, on realising this, takes the onus upon himself to capture the land in his own hands. He gets Ali killed in the process. Ali has handed over the ownership of land to Ravi in his deed. Veljibhai asks Ravi to hand over the deed papers in ransom for his brother, Ranjeet. Ranjeet however tries to get the papers back but is killed by Veljibhai. Now Ravi has everything to go against Veljibhai and not let his plans succeed. But Veljibhai is clever enough to kidnap his love Rita. Ravi rescues Rita and kills Veljibhai not before he is shot with four bullets, but saves himself by crawling towards phone booth to call ambulance. The ambulance arrives and in the hospital, Ravi is saved, along with the removal of his brain tumor. He gets the children's park built in Ali's land as per his last wish.
