Story

The film resolves around two childhood friends Vikram Singh and Ajay Singh. Ajay singh grows up and becomes a Doctor (A messiah for the pheasants) while Vikram Singh takes over his ancestors inheritance, and fits into the mighty shoes of a Typical Thakur. Conflict begins between their friendship when Vikram Singh's henchman Shamsher Singh abducts a pheasant girl. Dr Ajay gets Shamsher Singh arrested and thus the bitterness starts. This causes rivalry between the two, and the rest of the drama is on how the two battle out their differences and in the end once again re-unite to fight the villains.
