Deepak, an aspiring student studying in Allahabad University, listens to respected Minister Shankar Singh (Saurabh Shukla) a.k.a. Dadda's speech and feels inspired and invigorated. His father (Rajendra Gupta), an ordinary farmer, Bindeshwar, is severely injured by Langda, a man assigned by Dadda to encroach the farmer's field. Langda orders his men to drive a tractor on the elderly man, while he was attempting to protect his employer's fields from encroachment. Driven by a desire for vengeance, Deepak first confronts Dadda, and when the latter allows the former to do so, tracks down and brutally kills Langda with the help of a Pandit. This act initiates Deepak's descent into the criminal underworld.
