Plot
Kranti Kumar, an honest Police Inspector, lives with his grandparents. He goes to a small town in Southern India to be introduced to a prospective bride, Koyel, the daughter of Gopinath. The Police Inspector falls head over heels in love with Koyel and wants to marry her. Koyel too falls in love with him. When the time comes for finalizing the marriage, a man comes forward alleging that the Police Inspector is not who he claims to be, but rather was born out of wedlock and does not know who his father is. This leads to the postponement of the marriage, and the inspector questioning his grandparents as to who he really is and who his father was. His grandfather starts recounting Kranti's mother, Gayatri's life, the fact that Amavas drugged her (Gayatri) and raped her, but refused to acknowledge her after he won a local election for which he was selected by a shady politician to lure the innocent public to vote for him so that he can plunder the nation. Watch as this story shows how greed and avarice can encompass even the simplest of men — making him turn into a demon. Mithun Chakraborty plays a double role in this movie.
