action
The film is about a spoiled and spoiled boy named Ajay. Because of this, Ajay is sent to boarding school.
The boarding school is run by Shekhar. Shekhar tries to teach his students good manners, even if he uses unorthodox learning methods. He wins the trust of the students, teaches them the culture of their country and encourages them to become modern citizens.
In the boarding school, Ajay follows his habits and always causes trouble. During his stay at school, he befriends the socially disadvantaged student Shanti, who walks on crutches. Although they couldn't be more different in character, they get on very well. And even Shakti tries to help Ajay let go of his stubbornness.
One day Ajay breaks out of boarding school. When Shakti gets wind of it, he tries to find Ajay despite his disability. During his search, he gets into a serious accident that ends fatally for him. Only then does Ajay understand that a person has only lost his life because of his stubbornness. This realization becomes a turning point for him: Ajay developed into a better person from then on. His academic performance will also be excellent.
Shekhar feels confirmed in his teaching method and leaves the boarding school to spread these methods in other schools as well.
