The wealthy Thakur Bhavani Singh (Sunil Dutt) lives in a remote region of India where he shares an intense rivalry with a local gypsy clan led by Gora Shankar (Anupam Kher). Parampara (tradition) dictates that differences are resolved with a single bullet pistol duel at the top of a hill. Years earlier, Bhavani Singh fought a duel against Gora Shankar's father and killed him.
