Plot
[edit]Chander is a successful criminal lawyer. After his father's death, he shifts to their village, where he practices innovative ideas and facilitates the lifestyles of the needy. He loves a girl, Shallo; the village panchayat opposes it as she is an underdog. Chander is firm, but his mother, Rukmini Devi, pleads and persuades Shallo immediately to knit with a guy, and she does so. Here, Chander is stunned and heartbroken but works without new zeal and energy on swift recovery. Besides, owing to Shallo's misfortune, her past follows, and she is subjected to severe punishments by her in-laws.
Meanwhile, Chander couples his sister Radha with Thakur Suraj Pratap Singh debauchery. Being a lady of virtue, Radha sets out to reform her husband and tries to settle Shallo's life. Through Radha, Shallo's husband, Ramu, realizes her reality; his mother, Tulsi Devi, remains adamant. Hence, Ramu quits the house when Thakur, who has evil designs on Shallo, shelters them. One night, he lures Ramu, and enraged, he revolts. In the combat, Ramu is killed; spotting it, Shallo knocks out Thakur.
