Plot Summary
- In the small town of Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, a boxer named Shravan Singh (Vineet Kumar) belonging to upper caste Thakur, trains at a gym controlled by a local Don Bhagwan Das Mishra (Jimmy Shergill). For sportsmen, the route to success is to win a national tournament, so they can land a government job in railways or the police, and if that is not possible, get employed as the bodyguard for a local politician or a mafia don.Shravan falls for Mishra's niece Sunaina (Zoya Hussain) while delivering groceries to his house. The Don does not approve of this match because of previous scuffle between Bhagwan and Shravan. Shravan had objected to Bhagwan using his students to do his menial housework and even hit Bhagwan in the process. Bhagwan justified this practice of using students to do housework by saying that the athletes are generally lazy and do not complete their assigned training and hence doing housework was a way of keeping them fit and agile. Bhagwan has a huge ego and cannot stand a mere boxer challenging him in his own house. Bhagwan has Shravan beaten up by his other students and has him jailed for assault. Sunaina watches Shravan stand up to Bhagwan and she also falls in love with him.Shravan lives with his parents' father (Rajesh Tailang) and mother (Shreshtha Gupta). He has a sister named Guddi (Shikha Chauhan). Gopal Tiwari (Shree Dhar Dubey) is Shravan's friend.Sunaina is a mute, but feisty. She stands up to Bhagwan's brutality at home. Bhagwan is the younger brother of Sunaina's father, but due to some reason Sunaina's entire family stays in Bhagwan's house. Bhagwan orders everyone around and Sunaina stands up to him. After the scuffle, Shravan was jailed. But after release he started pursuing Sunaina and she reciprocates his advances. Sunaina's father tells him to get a job before considering marrying her. Shravan is confident that he will get a railways job once he wins the upcoming regional boxing tournament.Sunaina and Shravan meet at a wedding, where Sunaina informs Shravan that Bhagwan is getting her engaged to some random guy and that he needs to do something if he wants to be with her. Sunaina says that she is already 26 years old, and cannot hold out for much longer, and yet she does not want to spend her life as a housewife. She wants Shravan to rescue her from her morose future.Meanwhile Shravan was hoping to compete in the regional boxing tournament but finds his name missing from the list of boxers selected. The admin guy tells him that Bhagwan has stopped his selection. Shravan meets Bhagwan, but Bhagwan asks Shravan to drink his urine as a precondition to allow him to box. In retaliation, Shravan attacks the groom's car when he comes to see Sunaina. Bhagwan again gets Shravan arrested. This time the jailer (Abhay Joshi) takes time to hear Shravan's story and advises him to meet state federation boxing officials. They advise Shravan to compete from another district in UP, where Bhagwan has no say in the selection process.At the tournament Shravan comes in view of talent scout Sanjay Kumar (Ravi Kishan), who understands the gravity of Bhagwan's animosity to Shravan. Sanjay meets Bhagwan for peace, but Bhagwan insults Sanjay on account of him being a Harijan. There is no peace, and Bhagwan reiterates his promise of not allowing Shravan to play. Sanjay takes Shravan under his wings and vows to train him.Sanjay gets Shravan entered into a state level tournament and despite all efforts from Bhagwan (steroid induced opponents, difficult fight groups etc) Shravan ends up winning the tournament and gets a railway job as well. Eventually Shravan gets married to Sunaina, despite severe objections from Bhagwan, as Sunaina's mother Meera (Sadhana Singh) and father stand up to Bhagwan and decide that Shravan is the right guy for their girl.Shravan gets off to a bad start when his boss puts every obstacle in his way to stop him from practicing boxing. While Sunaina is angry at him for not being able to give him time at home. Singh tries to balance his job, training, family life and learning sign language at Sunaina's request. Meanwhile, his boss at the office tries to harass him by putting too much work pressure on him. Shravan retaliates against his boss to get his rights to practice boxing for the upcoming nationals.Then he finds that Bhagwan has kicked his brother and brother's wife out of the house in retaliation of sanctioning the wedding of Shravan with Sunaina. Mishra gets Sunaina's father fired from his job and expels her family from their home. Shravan sends Sunaina with her parents to her maternal grand father's house. But she is abducted by Bhagwan's goons on the way. Bhagwan also breaks his brother's leg.Bhagwan forces Sunaina to send divorce papers to Shravan. Meanwhile he gets Sanjay beaten up on the pretext of eating beef by cow protectors & goes into coma. Now Bhagwan comes into the open and tells Shravan to lose the nationals, and divorce Sunaina in exchange for peace.Shravan roams all over town with posters of Sunaina in an effort to find her. Sunaina is forcefully engaged to a businessman with a disability, by Bhagwan for money. The police jailer advises Shravan to win the nationals to get enough clout to challenge Bhagwan openly. Shravan enters the nationals and again meets resistance from Bhagwan. Just before the finals, Sunaina's mother escapes from captivity and alerts Shravan who goes and rescues them. When Bhagwan intervenes, Shravan beats him up black and blue.Back at the nationals, Bhagwan moves a motion to disqualify Shravan. Shravan begs Bhagwan to not disqualify him saying that saving his wife was his duty. Bhagwan tells Shravan that for peace, Shravan will have to forget whatever happened and retire from boxing. Shravan agrees and KOs himself out in the boxing finals. He and Sunaina live a peaceful life. Sanjay never comes out of coma, and Shravan takes his place as coach for Harijan and underprivileged children.
