Plot
editRaghu, a notorious criminal, is acquitted from jail as a reformed when he challenges Inspector Mathur to prove himself. Here, Raghu’s previous hoodlum chair gives a warm welcome, which he denies and quits. Yet, the Boss covets to get hold of him due to his caliber. Now, Raghu gets acquainted with a mechanic, Tiger, and becomes a truck driver. Once, he hit upon a beautiful girl, Malti, in male guise. Later, Raghu discovers the actuality, and she flees from the house. So, he forcibly takes her back, but noticing his old associate therein, Raghu protects Malti when they fall in love. Soon, they couple up and are blessed with a baby girl, Banthu. Time passes; Raghu builds a jaunty world around him, but his Boss & Inspector Mathur still chase him. At a juncture, Raghu disputes with a lender, Dhaniram. Exploiting it, the Boss slaughters him and charges Raghu. Fortuitously, he is acquitted, but the Boss makes his life miserable. During that plight, Malti becomes a club danger for survival. Spotting it, Raghu is devastated and decides to go back into his past life. Forthwith, he meets Mathur and pleads with him to allow him to prove his integrity, which he accepts. Afterward, Raghu rejoins the gang, but the Boss gazes at his intention. So, he falsifies him by tangling with coercion. Raghu makes a dangerous train robbery and steals a secret file. Here, Raghu double-crosses them when the Boss seizes Banthu. At last, Raghu safeguards her with the file, jeopardizing his life. Finally, the movie ends happily, with society accepting Raghu as noble.
