Plot:
Kali, Shankar and Tithi are the three motherless children of the acting
priest of a local Krishna temple in an anonymous small town/village in Odisha.
The local MLA Debu Soren’s henchmen kill their father because he insists on
standing witness in court against a murder committed at Soren’s behest. Kali,
the elder brother, kills the corrupt lawyer as he walks out of the courtroom
after the judge has delivered his judgment. Kali goes to jail for ten years.
Shankar meets with a freak accident and is brought up by a local Muslim fakir.
But the accident has left him with a memory loss and a penchant for violence.
He grows up to be one of Debu Soren’s favorite henchmen. The little girl Tithi,
who is picked off the streets by the maid of Debu’s mistress, grows up to
become a wayward girl on the verge of turning alcoholic.
After ten long years, Kali is released. He returns to the temple to
meet his grandfather who was away when Kali’s father was killed. The
grandfather, a temple priest, encourages the grandson to avenge his father’s
death. Kali, Shankar and Tithi are united and from then on, it is one long
chain networking of maramari, dishoom-dishoom, blood and gore and the killing of
the criminals one after the other in the same way their father was killed - by
electric shock. The two young men come home to roost and it is one big happy
family in the temple with their two girlfriends pitching in and Tithi hoping to
tie the knot with the handsome young police officer.
