Plot

Bharat Nagar is a city in modern secular India that is terrorized by a gangster named Bhika, who is protected by the local politician, Gulabchand Jhakotia, his son, police inspector Bhushan, and the DSP Anand Saxena. When Inspector Gurdayal Singh accumulates enough evidence to arrest Bhika, he is killed. Bhushan then attempts to molest an activist, Bharati, but is stopped by Vijay, her fiancé. Bhushan kills Vijay and ends up getting killed by Bharati. The police arrest Bharati and hold her in a cell without permitting her to meet with anyone, including her brother, Aadesh. Bhushan's position is filled by SP Jagdishan, who attempts to bring law and order to this troubled city and even permits Aadesh to meet Bharati. When Bhika kills the owner of the local newspaper "Bharat Nagar Times," Jagdishan arrests him after D'Souza's daughter, Mary, comes forward to testify - only to get instructions for his transfer to distant Malegaon, and the immediate release of Bhika - who, together with Gulabchand, are now set to rule over Bharat Nagar - with no one bold enough to stand in their way.

It is loosely based on the prominent police officer Zanjeerwala Jhala (M.M. Jhala) from Gujarat, who was famous all over India for his heroism.
