Vikram Singh (Jeetendra) is the loyal Chief Commander (Senapati) of Gandhar. He is brave and a great warrior too. Whereas the Chief Minister (Maha Mantri), Bhanu Pratap (Kader Khan), is an unreliable and unfaithful man who pretends to be trustworthy of the Gandhar King.

Twist in the story

Vikram Singh (Jeetendra) overpowers them and exposes them in front of the Gandhar King (Bharat Bhushan).
