Plot

A Journalist who is investigating arms deals and other crimes against the state is shot and killed, so Shanti (Indira Krishna) who is also a Journalist, swears that she will bring the culprit Vishtar Nath (Mohan JoshI) to justice. One night Shanti gets molested but a man, Shankar (Mithun Chakraborty) comes to her rescue. She tells him everything and makes him her brother by tying a Raakhee.

One day Shanti gives Shankar a roll of film which implicates Vishtar Nath directly in his illegal arms deals. Shankar immediately takes the roll of film to the police commissioner who subsequently destroys it and gets Shankar arrested for having RDX in his car by a rogue and despicable police inspector (Tej Sapru). Shankar is beaten black and blue back at the police station and then in the guise of giving him bail is told he can leave.

As he leaves the police station he is confronted by rouge police officers and Nath's men, tied up and is shot several times and left for dead. He is saved by his now sister Shanti, but then he gets attacked in the hospital by Naths goon Bakra (Kasam Ali. Shankar beats him mercilessly and kills him brutally. This is witnessed by Inspector Vikram (Siddarth Dhawan) who tells him that he a “Raavan” (A Devil), and that he's now a killer.

Shankar says he's tried been an angel, a law abiding citizen and got nothing but humiliation, death threats, so now he's going to be the devil and take down the underworld kingpin Nath. The rest of the film depicts how Shankar takes down the underworld singlehandedly with Inspector Vikram hot on his trail, who also loves his sister Shanti.

In all this busy taking down the underworld and killing the bad guys, Shankar also has time falling in love, singing and dancing with his love interest in the movie Mona (Meenaskshi). A norm for Bollywood films.
