Roopa Singh, the only sister of her soldier brother Ram Singh, returns to their village in Chandanpur where a carnival-like plan foreshadows her upcoming marriage. The mood shifts in a brutal moment when a group of terrorists led by Gujjar Singh raids the town, murders a visiting politician, and pursues Roopa as she clings to hope and fear. Gopal, Roopa’s young friend, rushes to her aid along with Ram, but both are cut down by Gujjar as he makes a chilling threat: Roopa will be his mistress, stripped of the bond of brother or lover she once knew.
