Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Mahesh returns to India after a long time abroad, and makes the disillusioning discovery that his father makes his fortune in illegal goods. Righteously disavowing his family wealth, Mahesh marries Seema and begins a life of simplicity, but when his father's attempt at atonement results in tragedy, Mahesh must ultimately take up arms to defend his family.
