Plot

Thakur Ranvir Singh aka Daata Guru is a wealthy, powerful and influential head of a village. He owns and controls all the villagers and their properties. Anyone who dares to raise their voice against him is crushed by his employee, Shankar and his son Guman.

Karan is the youngest son of Daata Guru, who comes back to the village after completing his education and falls in love with Shankar's sister Tulsi. Meanwhile, Shankar saves Daata Guru's widowed daughter-in-law Lakshmi from Guman, who tries to rape her. When Daata Guru learns that Shankar has abducted Lakshmi and has married her, he is enraged and wants Shankar dead. Daata Guru also instigates Karan against Shankar, and threatens to cut off the villagers' water supply if they do not turn in Shankar to him.
