Plot

Constable Vishwanath, an upright policeman in Mumbai, lives a simple life with his wife Usha, their elder son Vijay and infant twin boys. His honesty brings him into contact with Basheer Ahmed, a thief who, consumed by guilt, confesses his theft of ₹10 lakhs and surrenders the money to Vishwanath. This act of repentance is thwarted by a Sub-Inspector Teja, a corrupt and ambitious officer who sees an opportunity for gain. Teja murders Vishwanath in cold blood, frames Basheer for the crime and turns his attention to silent the family.

In the chaos that follows, Usha flees with her three children & Basheer. During the frantic escape one of the twins, who is in high fever, dies & the other sleeps & Usha couldn't differentiate them & by mistake yeets her alive child in the river, she soon realises her mistake but it has been too late, she believes dead after the child slips into the river. Teja strikes again, separating Vijay from his mother. With her family torn apart, Usha is left only with one surviving infant son, never realizing that the other twin is alive.

Years pass. Teja rises through the underworld, amassing wealth and power while continuing his illegal activities, including a thriving kidney-trafficking racket. Vijay, having grown up on his own, becomes a principled industrialist determined to use the law to bring down criminals. His fight for justice puts him on a collision course with Teja when he takes up the case of Dr. Prem, his close friend. Prem had exposed Teja's organ racket and was shot dead on his wedding day by Jogindar, Teja’s ruthless son. Before dying, Prem named Jogindar as the killer, but Teja manipulates the courts through Justice Nyaychand Rastogi. Instead of convicting Jogindar, Teja has an orphan named Ravi falsely identified as the culprit. Unbeknownst to all, Ravi is actually Usha’s lost son (one of the twin, who was cremated by Usha by mistake).
