But Seth Dharamdas does have a number of skeletons in his closet and a parallel life as a gangster and a "Matka king".

One day in a forest, while riding a horse, he finds a nomad, Jankura, and a woman, Reshma, fighting.

Meanwhile, in India, his sister Mona, is all set to marry Kundan, the son of their father's old friend.

Dharmatma recognises the nature of his son-in-law and apologises for his mistake of letting his daughter marry him.

Vikram Singh agrees, but on the way, he is kidnapped by Anokhelal's sons, Natwar and Rishi and his brother Biradar.

Some days later, Ranbir with Anu, a childhood friend who secretly loves him, goes out for a drive, where he is attacked by goons sent by Anokhelal.

Ranbir suspects a hospital employee to be a part of the conspiracy and asks the doctor about the nurse on duty that night.

Downstairs, Ranbir accepts the drug deal, which his father declined and provides them with ₹ 5 million but on a condition that they will give him Vikram Singh, dead or alive, to which Anokhelal agrees.

He arrives at their place and beats Kundan, but Mona stops him pleading him not to make her a widow.

Ranbir and Shakti Singh, a top henchman of his father, arrive at their place and find Mona dead.

Ranbir accepts and arrives, only to find a bunch of goons with machine guns there to kill him and Shakti Singh.

Kundan lands in a helicopter in a hilly place with a small cottage where Natwar and Rishi are present.

Then he kills them and takes the carton of drugs from the cottage back to the helicopter, where he finds Ranbir.
