Plot[edit]

Amarnath aka Amar is an educated-young man, who has not received any qualified job as all positions force him to compromise his morals. A new politician, Shankar Narayan promises an end to corruption, but gets disrespected by the crowd, who pelts stones at him. Amar rescues him where Shankar is impressed and trains Amar to be a cop. Amar completes his IPS exam where he is posted as an ACP and serves the state honestly. Amar meets Asha, who is the only daughter of multi-millionaire businessman, Seetharam. The two fall for each other where their relationship is accepted by Seetharam, after Shankar's insistence.

Amar discovers a crime network that includes Shankar as well as Seetharam and is made as a pawn in syndicate's crimes. Amar is blackmailed into collaborating with them as they show him a pic where Amar had giving the briefcase to Seetharam's partner, where he reveals that the partner is actually an international smuggler named Richard Louis. Amar was ordered by Seetharam to retrieve diamonds from Richard Louis and also save him from police. Amar does his job, but kills him and gets immensely popular with the public. Inspector Pratap, who is Amar's colleague issues a warrant to search Amar's house by the orders from the commissioner.

Prathap knows that Amar has retrieved the diamonds from Richard Louis, but he is unable to find the diamonds because Amar hid them inside his fake bandages. Asha misunderstands Amar and leaves him, along with their new-born child. Heartbroken at the separation, Amar resigns from the police force. Amar files for a nomination in the elections at Shankar's insistence and becomes the CM with the network's support as they form the government with their syndicate members. In their cabinet meeting, Amar smuggles out a machine gun and reveals his intentions to massacre everyone for the country's welfare, Amar kills all of them, including Seetharam and Shankar. Asha learns about Seetharam's misdeeds and the blackmail where Asha reconciles with Amar.
