Spoilers ahead
In a volatile Goa under Portuguese rule, a small band of revolutionaries fights to throw off the colonial yoke. Purandare (Shreeram Lagoo), Narvekar (P. Jairaj), and Dinanath (Sudhir Dalvi) operate as a tightly knit unit, risking everything to keep the flame of independence alive. During a tense confrontation with the Portuguese police, Purandare and Dinanath are gravely injured. In a moment of grim resolve, Dinanath begs Purandare to end his life rather than let him be captured, and Purandare reluctantly complies. Their act is witnessed by Dinanath’s young son, Ramdas / Ronnie, who misinterprets the scene and believes Purandare has murdered his father.
