It features an ensemble cast of big stars Sunil Dutt, Sanjeev Kumar, Jeetendra, Shatrughan Sinha, Vinod Mehra, Reena Roy, Rekha, Neetu Singh and Bindiya Goswami.

The film revolves around a plot concerning a monster who kidnaps and murders women wearing red bridal attire.

His spirit returns to earth as a malevolent force who seeks revenge by killing newly wedded brides who wear traditional red bridal sarees.

At a remote estate, newly wedded brides are going missing when their palanquin reaches a particular temple and even their corpses cannot be found.

Meanwhile, Thakur Saab's daughter Shanti's marriage is fixed and she agrees to it as she realizes Lakhan loves Reshma and not her.

She reaches her destination safely, but this is actually due to her not wearing the traditional red bridal saree because of her father's phobia.

Eventually, everyone's suspicion turns towards Thakur Saab as his own daughter Shanti was spared whereas every other newly wedded bride went missing.

Thakur Saab tries to commit suicide, but his wife reveals that their son, Shera also knew of the changed plans.

Shera tries to escape after kidnapping Reshma, but he is stopped by Lakhan and when he is about to die after a fire nearly engulfs him, Champa jumps in to save him.
