A journalist investigating arms deals and other crimes against death in front of Shanti's house, so Shanti, also a journalist, vows to bring the culprit, Vishtar Nath, to justice. One night, Shanti is abused, but a man named Shankar comes to her rescue. She tells him everything and makes him her brother by tying a Rakhi.
One day, Shanti gives Shankar a roll of film that implicates Vishtar Nath directly in his illegal arms deals. Shankar immediately takes the roll of the film to the police commissioner, who subsequently destroys it and gets Shankar arrested for having RDX in his car by a rogue and despicable police inspector. Shankar is beaten black and blue back at the police station, and then, in the guise of giving him bail, he is told he can leave.
As he leaves the police station, he is confronted by rogue police officers and Nath's men, tied up, shot several times, and left for dead. He is saved by Shanti, but then he gets attacked in the hospital by Nath's goon Bakra. Shankar beats him mercilessly and kills him brutally. This is witnessed by Inspector Vikram, who tells him that he is a "Raavan" (a devil) and that he is now a killer.
Shankar says he has tried being an angel and a law-abiding citizen but got nothing except humiliation and death threats- so now he is going to be the devil and take down the underworld kingpin Nath. The rest of the film depicts how Shankar takes down the underworld singlehandedly with Inspector Vikram hot on his trial, who also loves his sister Shanti.
In all this time taking down the underworld and killing the bad guys, Shankar also has time for falling in love, singing, and dancing with his love interest, Mona.
