In 1971, Maharani Gitanjali is a princess to a royal family in Rajasthan. Although every royal family was required to turn over their wealth at the end of the ancestral reign in the hands of the Reserve Bank of India as per the Indian Government’s Nationalization plan Gitanjali’s ancestors did not hand it over to the government. Four years later in 1975, Prime Minister Indira Gandhi declares a state of emergency in the country. Sanjeev (Sanjay Gandhi, the Playboy son of Indira Gandhi), an influential person in the Congress government, plots revenge against Gitanjali after he was snubbed badly by her in 1973. Sanjeev asks Colonel Rudra Pratap Singh to confiscate all the gold in Gitanjali’s possession and put her behind bars. Rudra follows Sanjeev’s instructions and imprisons Gitanjali after forcibly taking possession of her gold. Rudra asks his trusted lieutenants Major Seher Singh and Captain Somesh to transfer all the gold to Delhi into the government’s safekeeping.

For this purpose, Rudra gives Seher Singh a custom-made truck with a powerful safe to transport the confiscated gold. As Rudra and Seher Singh are discussing, Gitanjali’s trusted aide Sanjana is sent by her to eavesdrop on their conversation and get a whiff of their plan. Gitanjali wants Sanjana to accompany her trusted lieutenant Bhavani Singh in getting all the gold back and eventually release her from prison. Gitanjali briefs Bhavani about the gold and her reasons for keeping it - she needs the money to look after the people in her village. The loyal Bhavani promises to retrieve the gold and return it to Gitanjali. Along with Daliya, Guruji, and Sanjana, Bhavani chalks out their plan and sets out on the mission. The four follow the truck in which Seher Singh and his deputy Somesh are carrying the gold to Delhi. The group takes control of the truck after throwing out Seher Singh and Somesh. The job now is to open the strong safe, something at which Guruji is adept.

Meanwhile, Seher Singh, Rudra Pratap Singh, and other army and cops are hot on the trail of Bhavani and the truck. At one point, the army officers seek the help of police officer Durjan, but Bhavani and his team members outwit him. Before returning the gold to Gitanjali Devi, Bhavani learns that Gitanjali used him for her personal happiness and motives and that Seher was her aide. Bhavani reveals that he already knew the truth about Gitanjali, where his team decided to distribute gold among poor people who suffered from Gitanjali’s wrath. After the war between Seher and Bhavani’s team ends, Gitanjali realizes that she is alone in the desert with a low chance of survival, while Bhavani and his team escape.
