Plot
[edit]The film begins at a mysterious hidden temple of the serpent God Sheshnaag, where every lunar eclipse the Lord bestows a treasure under the protection of powerful shapeshifting snakes, Pritam Nag and Bhanu Nagin. Here, as a boon, the person who is showered in the moonlight becomes immortal. Aghori, the highly venomous wizard, is fretful to acquire that supreme power. So, he steps out by creating huge destruction of snakes. Then, Pritam lion-heartedly encounters and defeats Aghori but is unable to wipe them out as he is virulent. Aghori strikes back with his witchcraft, in which the snake form of Bhanu is wounded. Bhola, a callow villager, rescues her when Pritam and Bhanu become indebted to him. After the death of his father, Bhola reaches his sister Champa, where he is subjected to several punishments from his roguish brother-in-law Bansi, who ultimately necks him out.
Once, Bansi wages Champa in gambling when a few wicked try to molest her, and she jumps onto a cliff. Knowing it, Bhola attempts suicide to save Bhanu, who transfigures as Champa and bestows him with wealth, by which Bhola turns riches. Afterward, they shift to a mansion, where Pritam joins as a servant and seeks to sculpt Bhola as courageous. Parallelly, Bhola falls for Kamini, the daughter of a ruthless Seth Lalchand. He conducts the trafficking of animals with a partner, Vikram, and is also a disciple of Aghori. Once Bhola spots the closeness of Pritam and Bhanu, Champa misunderstands and revolts against Pritam. In tandem, he fetches Bansi, which leads Pritam to quit. Meanwhile, Lalchand decides to knit Kamini with Vikram and solicits Aghori to wipe out Bhola. So, he bites him to poison him.
During that plight, Bhanu sucks the poison, and she too goes into danger when Pritam, with his omnipotent power, protects them. Now Pritam divulges the fact to Bhola, unites him with real Champa, and makes Bhola a gallant. Besides, the wedding arrangements of Vikram and Kamini are in progress, which Bhola breaks down along with Pritam. However, Aghori succeeds in seizing them all, lands at Sheshnaag temple, and extorts Pritam and Bhanu to accomplish the mission by keeping Bhola at risk. Thus, Aghori triumphs in achieving eternity and wreaks havoc. In that quandary, Lord Shiva proclaims the only way to eliminate him is to strive on his chest. At last, Pritam and Bhola cease Aghori. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with Pritam and Bhanu proceeding towards heaven.
