Plot
[edit]Raja is a notorious criminal, who robs well-to-do people using his alias King. Inspector Amar Verma is a police officer tracking him. Verma and the Mumbai Police want King arrested at any cost. Things become worse for Verma when King robs the commissioner's house. Commissioner Kushal Singh warns Verma to arrest King within four days or get ready to be transferred to Tandarikala, a remote location which is also called the graveyard of policemen, as few policeman came back alive from there.
Amar is almost successful in arresting King but on their way back, Amar becomes injured in an incident involved with local bandits and King takes advantage of this situation and ditches Amar in the middle of the road and himself goes to Tandarikala, posing as a fake inspector. When Raja aka King reaches Tandarikala, he learns that the village is ruled by a merciless ruler, Thakur Gajendra Singh. Thakur leaves all old men to their fate, but abducts young men to work for him including minors.
In Tandarikala, Raja is surprised to see Guddu, a village simpleton, who is a look alike of Amar. It is later revealed that Guddu is actually Inspector Amar who followed Raja to arrest him but after seeing the condition of the villagers by the hands of Thakur, he changes his mind and together with Raja, decides to eliminate the tyranny of thakur from the village.
In the end, they succeed by killing the Thakur and his goons and in the ending scene, it is shown that Amar handcuffs Raja and they both share a laugh together.
