One day on his way home, Ambi comes across a drug peddling gang and he ends up in a fight where he beats all of them badly. This will turn into a police case and Ambi gets arrested due to the complaint given against him by the drug peddling gang. Knowing this, Ambi's son (Dilip Raj) gets angry at his father for interfering in such conflicts and he later goes on to bail him out of the case. Ambi feels very disappointed with his son's reaction and this will lead to some heated conversation between him and his son.
