The film is about a man named Arjun (Sunny Deol) who is in need of a job. He has a group of friends, and unknowingly gets involved in small problems faced by poor people and comes to be recognized as a Robin Hood figure. Arjun's father (A.K. Hangal) is a simple man and has surrendered to living a poor man's life without confronting any problems. His wife Shashi Kala is his second wife who does not like Arjun. He gets used by political people for their selfish purposes. The rights to this film are owned by Red Chillies Entertainment.

Unemployed but tolerant and kind hearted Arjun Malvankar (Sunny Deol) stays in the suburbs of Bombay with his father and step mother and step sister. Mr. Malvankar (A.K. Hangal) still works at an old age to make both ends meet.

One day, Arjun beats up a group of ruffians who are thrashing a poor man for not paying extortion taxes. With this incident, Arjun's life changes. Arjun invokes the wrath of the local goon, who orders more people to go and beat him, but this time he is assisted by five of friends, Arjun beats them up badly and sends them back. The goons warn Arjun's parents to advise him against his activities, lest he get himself killed.

Arjun is arrested but let off with a warning by the cops. However, a new inspector Ravi Rane (Raj Kiran) notes that Arjun is actually doing the right thing. He also begins to fall in love with Arjun's sister. Arjun is also approached by Geeta (Dimple Kapadia), a journalist who asks him for a favour which he obliges, and after which they both get close to each other.
