==Plot==
The film is primarily based on wrestling, paired with Raju ([[Khesari Lal Yadav]]) and Meera's ([[Kajal Raghwani]]) love story. Raju is a straight forward boy, and Meera, an educated and intelligent girl. Raju falls in love with Meera at first glance, but Meera is already engaged with Tribhuvan ([[Ashok Samarth]]) who is a champion wrestler, and he has always dominated every fight in the village. So at the starting of the movie, he defeats a wrestler named Bhanu Pratap Singh (Dev Singh). Bhanu Pratap is disheartened by his defeat and declares in his suicide note that whoever beats Tribhuvan in the wrestling match will be the successor of his property, and also his place will not be light until Tribhuvan being defeated. Since, five years have gone by and Tribhuvan still being unbeaten, the villagers try to find a tough competitor to Tribhuvan until they find Raju, whose father was also a wrestler in his good old days, but Raju has no previous experience in wrestling. In spite of being stopped by his mother, Raju still nods to the villagers because they promised him to give every food that keeps him fit as Raju's family survived on his mother's pension, and they were poor. In spite of the agreement with the villagers, Raju still doesn't have any interest in wrestling. The story moves forward in Raju trying to impress Meera, but Meera is already engaged, and so Raju decides to run away with Meera and get married. But Meera tells him that if he is really truthful, then he should fight Tribhuvan and then marry her. Tribhuvan and Raju bet on wrestling to marry with Meera. Raju defeats Tribhuvan in wrestling and marries with Meera.
