Singh Saab (Sunny Deol) is a social worker in a sleepy little village in U.P. With an aim to get rid off evils like hooliganism, corruption and malpractices through people's participation and selflessness, he establishes a social service organization called 'People's Beat'. However, Singh's popularity causes him to face an interview by the young and enthusiastic TV reporter (Amrita Rao), who accuses him of corruption and not fully serving his jail term. This leads Singh to narrate her, the tragedy he had to endure seven years back which brought immense pain and suffering and the false accusation of his alleged involvement in corruption.

Seven years back when Saranjeet Talwar is the district collector of a small town named Bhadauri, he comes across Bhoodev (Prakash Raj), a very arrogant and corrupt powerful local goon, who is also a descendant of local rulers. Bhoodev does not relent to his request for giving up all corrupt practices and instead threatens him and insults his sister's dignity. Furious to this insolence, Saranjeet slaps him which leads to Bhoodev's thirst for revenge, causing the death of Saranjeet's wife Vinnie (Urvashi Rautela) and his arrest on false charges of corruption.

After his narration is complete, he goes back to Bhadauri with his men and the reporter to finish his unfinished business. However, even after changing his identity, he is recognized by Bhoodev, which opens up old animosities and thus the war continues, albeit resulting in the unexpected.
