At the beginning of the movie, Nisha, a model, is kidnapped by Arjun Pandit's men. Arjun is madly in love with Nisha and wanted to celebrate Nisha's birthday, but she tells him that she does not like him. Then later on we go into the flashback of Arjun Dixit a peaceful, God-loving man who lived in Haridwar, India. He is a professor at a university in Haridwar. One day, Nisha comes to his town to research the Sanskrit language. Spending time with her, Arjun realizes that he is in love with her. She is also attracted to him, but sees him as a coward man because of his peaceful ways of dealing with things, like Sanjay, who is the rouge son of a woman MLA, bullies Nisha. Nisha challenges Arjun to show his manliness to Sanjay. Angered by Nisha's challenge Arjun beats Sanjay black-and-blue in public. Filled with anger, Sanjay swore vengeance on Arjun for the humiliation. Sanjay and his friends attack Arjun and Nisha while they were joyfully spending time together. Arjun fights Sanjay and his friends, Nisha then throws Arjun a sword which results in Arjun stabbing and killing Sanjay. Police arrives in a matter of time and Nisha tells the officer that Arjun has murdered Sanjay. Arjun gets arrested and this is when Nisha shows her true colors and testifies against Arjun creating a confusing situation. Nisha visits Arjun at the prison and reveals that her full name is Nisha Chopra and that she is the sister of Sangeetha Chopra. In a flashback, Arjun remembers witnessing one of his students (Sangeetha) being raped by Sanjay. He runs towards the situation to assist but is stopped by Sanjay's friends. Soon after Sanjay is done and leaves alongside his friends, Arjun quickly takes her to the hospital and goes to the police station to file a complaint, but Sanjay threatens to rape Arjun's sister if he testifies against him, persuading Arjun not to testify. Hearing that Arjun would not testify against Sanjay. Police said to Sangeetha if Arjun gives the statement, they will arrest and punish Sanjay ensuing Sangeetha getting justice, but Arjun, the eyewitness, is forced to give the inappropriate statement because of Sanjay's blackmailing. Police takes no action towards this case leaving Sangeetha burst into tears and urge to get justice. Sangeetha is then harrassed by majority of students at university. She writes a letter to her so-called sister Nisha about everything which has happened to her including that if Arjun Dixit gave the right statement, she would get justice and would be able to avoid the dirty misunderstandings of people. Lastly, she writes she will never forgive Arjun, neither should Nisha. She commits suicide after awhile. Returning back to the present, Arjun is found guilty and is imprisoned for murder, but then Sanjay's mother bails Arjun out using her influences and tells him that her son was wrong and deserved what he got. Arjun's parents and Nisha had already left the city. Knowing that, Sanjay's mother offers Arjun an accomodation, but he refuses telling that he has to go Mumbai. Arjun then goes to Mumbai in search of Nisha. While staying with his friend Shiva he meets Haldiraam, a hideous criminal who runs a powerful gang. Arjun finally finds Nisha dancing in a club, while he tried to approach her he beats up a guy who was talking things about her in a vulgar way. The guy turned out to be the brother of a powerful don Ramu Kaalia in Mumbai who is also one of Haldiraam's main rivals, taking this advantage Haldiraam kills the guy in the hospital making Arjun believe that he himself was responsible for the death. Haldiraam tells Arjun that the don will kill him, so Arjun should kill him first. Haldiraam hands Arjun a gun and tells him to go kill the don. The attempt is a failure, but this makes Arjun become a ruthless, cold-blooded criminal known as "Pandit", because of his hidden knowledge and yoga skills.
