It tells the story of an idealistic professor, Vishal Anand (Sahni), who is forced to confront his own ideals when he is caught between two opposing forces: the traditional values of his family and the modern values of his students. Vishal is a professor of literature at a college in rural Northern India. He is a passionate believer in the power of education and enlightenment, and in the need for social justice. He finds himself deeply conflicted when his son, Sunil (Nischol), joins the student movement against the oppressive landlord system. His wife, Amrita (Rajvansh), supports her son's activism, while Vishal fears that it will lead to disaster. Soon, Sunil is arrested and put on trial for murder, forcing Vishal to choose between his beliefs and his loyalty to his son. In the end, Vishal chooses his son and stands up for him in court, at great personal risk. The movie ends with Vishal's faith in justice and truth being restored.
