Indian Air Force pilot [[Bhagat]] lives with his wife, [[Rakshasa|Raksha]] and a young son. While going to the bank one day, the family find that the bank is being held up. The bank-robbers panic at the arrival of the police, and fire randomly, killing Raksha instantly. Bhagat witnesses this horrific spectacle and is unable to do anything to save his wife. The robbers were masked, but one of them had a tear in his shoe and another was wearing a locket, very similar to the one worn by his wife. Bhagat's inquiries take him to the northernmost hilly regions of India, where he must confront the past, as well as seek out the elusive killers and bring them to justice, not knowing that in so doing he will be endangering the life of his son.<br />

==Reception==<br />
One reviewer said of the film, "Alas, the story simply does not reach the same heights as the casting. The music, too, is utterly disposable, with perhaps one decent song in the bunch."<ref>{{cite web |last1=Nepstad |first1=Peter |title=Lootmar |url=http://www.illuminatedlantern.com/cinema/review/archives/lootmaar.php |website=The Illuminated Lantern |accessdate=18 September 2020}}</ref><br />
