Plot
Inspector Suraj Kapoor is a sheer cop who lives with his mother Seeta. He falls for a naughty girl Vijaya. Besides, 3 traitors Dharm Adhikari, Nyay Sharma, and Satyadev who counterfeit as patriot freedom fighters loot the country. Vijaya is the daughter of Dharm Adhikari and she makes Surajs acquaintance with her father when he alarms as Suraj resembles a true loyalist Jwala Singh. Just after, Jwala Singh releases from jail and spins rearward.
During the pre-Independence era, Jwala Singh is a powerful insurgent whose presence is a terror to the British. Once, he rescues Seeta from the soldiers and is injured in the crossfire. So, Seeta takes him to their 'Ashram' headed by a pacifist Baba. Due to the restrictions, Jwala Singh hides his identity, and he secretly marries Seeta. Immediately, he is seized with the deceit of the same 3 treacheries and sends him to Andaman. After that, the British assign another task to betrayers to uncover a treasure hidden by Raja Raghunathraj for the welfare of the country. Hence, they land at Andaman and learn the secret by the time the Govt declares independence. So, they slaughter Raghunathraj and incarcerate Jwala Singh.
At present, Jwala Singh approaches Baba when he rebukes him but after being aware of the uncertainty Baba understands his virtue. Now Jwala Singh wants to eliminate the rats when Baba requests him to be patient until the truth comes to light. Accordingly, Jwala Singh diehards to evil but he is incriminated further. Thus, Baba decides to announce their vandalism of them but tragically, he is murdered in the name of Jwala Singh. During the tough spot, Jwala Singh encounters Suraj, recognizes him as his son, meets Seeta, and affirms the actuality. Subsequently, Suraj also learns the truth but as duty-bounded he arrests him and aims to prove his fathers innocence. With the help of Vijaya, he breaks the truth but he is captured. In that clash, Seeta is killed. Knowing it, Jwala Singh explodes, and ceases the baddies but is severely injured. At last, he safeguards his son and leaves his last breath in his lap. Finally, the movie ends with an axiom 'the true patriots who have altruistically sacrificed their lives for the country are forsaken'.
