Film
The film begins with the villain, "Rate" (Sunil Thapa), being released from jail after four years and subsequently searches for "Laxmi" (Subhadra Adhikari) who got married and had two children while Rate was in Jail. During a Tihar celebration in Laxmi's house, Rate finds her there and confronts her. After a heavy altercation, Rate kills Laxmi's husband. While locked in a room, Laxmi took her two children with her, set his house on fire, and fled the scene. While fleeing from Rate, one of his sons is flung into the river. Rate thinks that Laxmi is killed in the River while fleeing. Rate's son is later found by "Bau" (Tulsi Ghimire) and taken to Gumba to ascertain whether he is alive or not. The monk in Gumba performs a series of rituals over the child and saves him. Since no one opts to take in the child, Bau decides to adopt it. Bau's girlfriend, however, is against him adopting the child and as a result he breaks up with her. Laxmi returns home and collects her husband's ashes. She decides not to perform the death rituals for her husband until Rate is killed. The story that follows is how the two children grow up and finally kill Rate for their mother as revenge.
