Plot

In the shadowy world of wealth and malice, Zafar Khan, a notorious criminal, harbors a dangerous obsession for the innocent Salma. Despite his affections being spurned, and a ten-year stint in prison, Zafar's unhealthy love for Salma remains unyielding. Upon his release, he learns that Salma is happily married to Aslam Khan and they have a young son, Iqbal. This devastating revelation fuels Zafar's rage and rejection, leading him to orchestrate a catastrophic flood that shatters Salma's idyllic life. The flood engulfs their region, taking Aslam's life and separating Salma from Iqbal. In the aftermath, Zafar seizes the chance to claim Salma as his own, exploiting her loss of memory from the traumatic event. Pursuing a psychiatrist's advice, he adopts a baby boy, Sunny, from a Kanpur orphanage, hoping this would keep Salma's life tethered to his. On the other side of the calamity, Iqbal finds solace with his uncle, the sole survivor of their family. Together, they forge a humble life as coolies at the local railway station. As years pass, Iqbal grows into a charismatic leader among the coolies, while Sunny, unaware of his origins, evolves into a spirited reporter. Fate leads Iqbal to Sunny, and through him, to Salma, his long-lost mother. But Zafar's cruel manipulations continue to hold Salma captive, erasing her past with brutal electroshock treatments. Undeterred by Zafar's threats, Iqbal and Sunny form an unlikely alliance. As they navigate their way through love, scandals, and the corrupt world, their bond deepens. Meanwhile, Zafar's world teeters on the brink of collapse. Sunny is determined to expose his adoptive father's misdeeds, and Iqbal stands against him in an upcoming election. As tensions rise, Iqbal finds himself locked in a deadly confrontation with Zafar. Will Zafar's reign of terror persist, or will his despicable deeds be exposed? The future of Salma, Iqbal, and Sunny hangs in the balance in this gripping tale of love, loss, and revenge.
