17-year-old Rohan and his friends Vikram, Benoy and Maninder are expelled from school because they were caught watching an adult movie. Rohan returns home, where his abusive father and six-year-old half-brother Arjun await him. Rohan is forced to jog every morning by his father, after which he has to work in his metalworking factory before he can study engineering at the local university. He actually wants to become a writer, Rohan's uncle alone supports him in his ambitions. Every night Rohan steals his father's car to get drunk in a bar with like-minded people.

Rohan lets the course drag and fails the exam. Meanwhile his father is called to the school to pick up Arjun; this had disrupted the class. Because of the trip to school, the father loses an important job for his work. When Rohan comes home, Arjun is being driven to the hospital; the father claims he fell down the stairs. Rohan claims to have passed the exam and goes to the hospital to check on the brother. Meanwhile, the father is traveling to Calcutta on business. In the hospital, Rohan gets closer to his brother, who confides in him that he was not overthrown but that he was mistreated by his father. When the latter, having returned from the trip, learns of Rohan's lie, he physically attacks him too. The next day the father declares that he wants to marry again. Arjun is supposed to work in boarding school and Rohan in the company. When the latter refuses, the father burns Rohan's poems.

During one of the trips in his father's car he is caught by the police and has to spend the night in prison. Back home, there is an open conflict with the father in front of his guests. Rohan strikes, runs away and finds accommodation with his uncle. The next morning he returns home, where he finds Arjun waiting for the taxi to the boarding school. Rohan leaves his father the watch he received from his father on his eighteenth birthday and a warning to leave his two sons alone; otherwise he would report him for child abuse.
