Plot

Appu is a taxi driver in Mumbai. One day, Appu meets Seetha and develops affection instantly. Seetha is also sold by her uncle to a brothel managed by Maharani, a transgender, as he is unable to repay his debt. Appu decides to save Seetha from the brothel. Appu visits the brothel as a customer and plans to make Seetha escape from there.

A small flashback is shown where Appu had a sister Saradha who eloped with her lover a few years back. However, Saradha's lover ditched her by selling her to a brothel. Saradha tries to escape from the brothel but gets caught and commits suicide. Appu vaguely sees the brothel owner from a distance who happens to be Maharani and plans to take revenge. The film comes to the present and Appu realises that Maharani was responsible for his sister's death as well.

Appu helps Seetha escape from the brothel and Maharani's henchmen are in search of them. Slowly, love blossoms between Appu and Seetha. In the chase, Appu loses his friend Mano and his lover Pooja, as they both get killed by Maharani. Finally, Appu kills Maharani and unites with Seetha.
