Rana Vikram Singh lives in a huge farmhouse with his wife, Laxmi and two sons: Rajesh, a police officer and Amar, a fun-loving playboy. Amar's entry begins with him playing a round of loaded Russian roulette which he wins and proclaims himself 'janbaaz'.

Rajesh has gone through a traumatic experience of losing his love Seema, when she succumbed to drug injection delivered forcibly by Teja, an international narcotics mafia leader. He vows to fight the drug menace. An underworld kingpin Raja murders Rana's old friend. Reshma, his friend's daughter, takes shelter in Rana's house. Rajesh is on the drug trail. Reshma's father lost a huge bet (by being tricked) to Raja, after which Raja killed him in a fake accident.

When Reshma goes to live with them, Amar has sex with her in a horse stable. Afterwards, Amar refuses to marry her. When Rana learns of Amar's one-night stand with Reshma, he warns him that Reshma is not suitable for their family. Reshma is heartbroken and moves on with her life. Amar maintains an interest and is jealous to see Reshma in the company of Vikas, an employee at the farmhouse. A fight ensues between Vikas and Amar, and Vikas is killed. Amar is now on the run, and Rajesh has been assigned the task of apprehending him.
