Pukar

In a fierce shootout with the Portuguese police, Purandare and Dinanath are gravely wounded. Dinanath, facing impending death, begs Purandare to end his life, and Purandare reluctantly obliges. Their act is witnessed by Dinanath's young son Ramdas, who misinterprets it as Purandare murdering his father.

Terrified and alone, Ramdas seeks shelter at Mr. Dayanand's home. Dayanand and his wife shelter him, hoping to protect him from the authorities. A Portuguese raid on the house leaves Dayanand and his wife seemingly killed, though the scene later appears inconsistent.

Purandare arrives in search of Ramdas, but the traumatized boy runs away at the sight of him. The fate of Dayanand’s family remains murky, fueling confusion and fear. This encounter marks a rupture between Ramdas and the revolutionary circle.

Two decades pass and Ramdas has reinvented himself as Ronnie, a lean, street-smart career criminal. He has a glamorous girlfriend named Julie and works for Hasmok, another outlaw, carving out a ruthless niche. Ronnie earns the favor of Inspector Monteiro by helping Hasmok evade capture, distancing himself from his former ideals.

Ronnie's past still haunts him as he crosses paths with Purandare and the aging revolutionary group. He betrays them to the police, revealing their location and plans in exchange for money or protection. This marks a painful severing of ties to the cause.

In a second act of treachery, Ronnie again sides with the authorities, enabling a fatal strike that kills Purandare. The veteran leader dies at the hands of a betrayal that alters the course of the struggle. Ronnie’s reputation as a traitor is cemented in the eyes of his former allies.

A young rebel named Shekhar disrupts Ronnie's criminal hold by stealing his gold. He orchestrates the escape of a captured rebel and assassinates the Portuguese police chief, actions that propel him into the public spotlight. He is subsequently sentenced to death, but his heroism wins broad admiration.

Shekhar's indomitable courage contrasts with Ronnie's cynical existence, drawing public admiration toward the young rebel. Ronnie's resentment grows as Shekhar becomes a symbol of hope for the people. The rift between the two men widens, setting the stage for a final reckoning.

Driven by revenge, Ronnie intends to kill Shekhar's parents, only to discover they are the same people who once sheltered him as a child. The revelation shatters him and rekindles memories of Purandare's sacrifices long ago. This moral shock forces a reevaluation of his past actions.

Overcome by remorse, Ronnie pledges to save Shekhar from a wrongful death sentence. This vow marks a turning point in his character, signaling a shift from vengeance to redemption. He resolves to act for the greater good rather than personal retribution.

Ronnie and Shekhar cast aside their differences and join forces to confront the colonial occupiers. They lead a renewed assault with the support of fellow rebels, coordinating a high-stakes campaign against the Portuguese forces. The alliance symbolizes a bridge between two divergent paths to the same end.

In the climactic confrontation, the combined efforts of Ronnie and Shekhar bring down the colonial rule. The battle marks the culmination of years of struggle and personal transformation for Ronnie. The film closes on a note of liberation and renewed purpose for those who fought for it.
