Synopsis

edit

Rajkumari Ophelia wants a Devi Maa's statuette, which is located in Pratapgarh. She recruits Sher Singh to carry out this task, and says if he is successful in getting the statue, she will marry him when he brings the statuette to her.

Sher Singh sets out to do so, but before that could happen, Thakur takes possession of the statuette, incurring Devi Maa's wrath, and he ends up losing his son. Fearing that the rest of the family will also perish on the day of the Khumbh Mela, he instructs his brother, Ranjeet, to ensure that the statuette is replaced in the Mandir, but Ranjeet is unable to do so, gets separated from his daughter, Meena, and becomes insane.

Ramlal, who has the statuette, disappears; his wife gets separated from their son, Birju, while her brother-in-law, Mangal, is arrested and jailed for killing Rana. She relocates to live in Bombay with Mangal's son, Shekhar.

Years later, Birju has grown up and makes small statues for a living; Meena uses a cow and dances on the streets; Mangal is a gangster; Sher Singh is still looking for the statuette; and Ranjeet is still insane. Shekhar dramatically finds the statuette, gives a press release, and places it under security — unaware that the statuette will be stolen again — and this time no one will know its whereabouts.
