PLOT
Roopa Singh is the only sister of her soldier brother named Ram Singh who returns to her village in Chandanpur to arrange her marriage in the form of a carnival. However, Roopa’s happiness is short-lived as the village is raided by a group of terrorists led by Gujjar Singh, who murders a visiting politician and is attracted to Roopa. As Gujjar attempts to escape with the terrified Roopa, Ram and Roopa’s young friend Gopal come to her rescue only to be killed by Gujjar who threatens Roopa that she will only be his mistress without the love of a brother or lover. Enraged and heartbroken, Roopa attempts to commit suicide by jumping into a waterfall, but she survives and upon vowing to confront and destroy Gujjar, steals the clothes of a theatre actor named Kishan, who works with his best friend Shankar.
While finding his clothes, Kishan meets Roopa and falls in love with her, where he also decides to make Roopa the heroine of their dance show. With no option, Roopa travels with them and tries to escape, but returns when chased by the gang and a drunken cop named Surendra Pratap Singh, who was her rejected fiancée. Roopa is saved by Shankar and Kishan, where she feigns love for Kishan and the two men agree to help her return to Chandanpur. Learning that Kishan is going to marry her, Roopa feels guilty over her betrayal and reveals her past. Shankar becomes her brother while Kishan is heartbroken and leaves in disgust.
Roopa and Shankar return to Chandanpur, where Shankar mobilises the village and attempts to set a trap for Gujjar, who has learnt of Roopa’s survival and terrorizes the village to find out her whereabouts. The trap backfires horribly until Kishan returns with a suspended cop named Pakkad Singh. The trap is re-set with another carnival and the terrorists attack as planned. Roopa is kidnapped and Kishan and Shankar while giving chase are kidnapped and taken to Gujjar’s hideout where they are forced to fight him and his men. With the arrival of Chandanpur’s villagers, Gujjar’s men are finished while Kishan kills Gujjar with Shankar and Roopa’s help. While driving along with Kishan and Roopa one day, Shankar meets Champakali where Kishan and Roopa watch them.
