Set in a fictitious village called Nayanpur, the villagers’ peaceful existence is suddenly wrecked when helicopters carrying foreign industrialists land there.

The industrialist requires 5,000 acres of farmland to set up a factory and is aided by Sadhu Charan Sarkar, a representative of the government. A notice is served to the farmers. Although they realise that the industry will provide employment to the youth, they are still not ready to part with their land. The uncertainty of losing their only source of income creates panic among the villagers. As they unite under Bhagaban Das, a farmer, only one slogan is heard: “Jaan debo jami debo na (Will give my life but not my land)”.

Driven by greed, Sadhu Charan Sarkar bribes local leaders and then begins a deadly game of conspiracy. Women are raped, homes are destroyed and innocent men murdered.

To restore peace in the land, the villagers form a committee. A battle between the police and the villagers ensues leading to immense loss of life and property.

Things are finally settled when the farmers are spared and their lands returned. Instead of the farmlands, the factory is installed on a beach.
