Bhanu Kumar (Dibyendu Bhattacharya) is a meek watchman, solo employee at a long shut-down silica mine. He lives at its rundown premises on the outskirts of Delhi with his wife. His employer Lakhmichand Ahlawat (Avatar Sahani) is an arrogant exploitative oaf, who insults Bhanu and screws Bhanu's unwilling wife after sending him off on errands. Unable to run it profitably, Ahlawat wants to get rid of the disputed mine to an old man as dowry for marrying his young daughter.
Without knowing that it is his employer's daughter, Bhanu somehow gets embroiled in the girl's bid to elope with her lover and escape a masked murderer out to kill them. Things quickly spiral out of control a spate of unnecessary and inexplicable violence and a bloody climax follows.
