Summary

An Astrologer informs Satpal Singh that his nephew will eventually kill him. When Satpal's sister, Maharani Meenakshi, gives birth to twins, he has one thrown from the castle walls, and replaces the second with his very own son. Years later, the two princes have grown up, one is Dharam, who was rescued by Sheroo, a pet bird of Jwala Singh. Thereafter brought up by Dhano and her husband Lohar, and the second is Veer, who lives in the palace. Satpal finds out to his horror that his wife, Roopmati, had switched the children a second time, as a result he has ended up abusing his very own son, Ranjit, thinking him to be Veer. Now Satpal plots with Prince Sujan Singh, Dev Singh, leader of gypsies, Azad, and their goal is to create enmity between Dharam and Veer, make them enemies, have Dharam kill Veer in a combat, and then subsequently hang Dharam for killing Veer. And to start this all, he has Lohar arrested, and charged with mishandling Meenakshi's carriage, has his hands chopped off, and the result - Dharam is out for vengeance - and he will destroy anyone who will come in his way.
