Story Overview
The story is set in a rural village where Ganga and Jamuna grow up as brothers.
Their family is poor and vulnerable to exploitation by powerful people.
Ganga, the elder brother, is strong-willed and protective of his family. However, repeated injustice and economic hardship gradually push him toward rebellion.
After circumstances force him to flee, Ganga becomes involved with a group of dacoits.
He eventually becomes a feared outlaw.
Jamuna's journey is completely different.
He receives an education and chooses a career in the police.
As Jamuna rises within the police force, his duty increasingly brings him into conflict with the criminal world in which his own brother now lives.
The central tragedy of the film is that Ganga and Jamuna love each other as brothers but are forced to stand on opposite sides of the law.
