Film

The film begins with the villain Rate (Sunil Thapa) being released from jail after four years. He subsequently searches for Laxmi (Subhadra Adhikari), who got married and had two children while Rate was in Jail. During a Tihar celebration at Laxmi's house, Rate finds her and confronts her. After a heavy altercation, Rate kills Laxmi's husband. Laxmi takes her two children, sets the house on fire, and flees the scene. While fleeing from Rate, one of the children is flung into the river. Rate thinks that Laxmi was killed in the River while fleeing. Rate's son is later found by Bau (Tulsi Ghimire) and taken to Gumba to ascertain whether he is alive or not. The monk in Gumba performs a series of rituals over the child and saves him. Since no one opts to take in the child, Bau decides to adopt it. Bau's girlfriend, however, is against him adopting the child, resulting in their breakup. Laxmi returns home and collects her husband's ashes. She decides not to perform the death rituals for her husband until Rate is killed. The film follow the two children as they grow up and plan to kill Rate as revenge for their mother's sake.
