Plot

[edit]

Parashuram, an ex-army Major running a private security agency, learns about Rajiv "MD" Malhotra, a crime lord, and his organized syndicate network, supported by MD's partners Purohit, Kulkarni and Nayak. MD runs short of money to fund the election campaign and gets his syndicate network to double the monthly roll-call. MD gets impressed by Parashuram and asks him to work for him, but Parashuram refuses and walks away. MD hatches a plan to destroy Parashuram, where he tactfully kills Parashuram's wife Usha and his son. An enraged Parashuram, with the help of a press reporter and his little friend Appu, takes law into his own hands and soon kills MD, Purohit, Kulkarni and Nayak with a parashu (a weapon of Parashurama).
