P.N. Oberoi's arrogance, influence, and wealth not only humiliates and beats Anil's mother Radha, but imprisons her for a crime she did not commit. When she's released from prison, she and Anil leave the community and settle elsewhere. Years later, Anil has grown to love music and singing. David Brown promotes Anil and has his name changed to Jimmy. Jimmy becomes popular with the masses, and this does not auger well for Sam Oberoi, who is the only son of P.N. Oberoi. To make matters worse, both father and son are publicly humiliated at a well-attended party. Both conspire to bring an end to Jimmy's career, and they do so in such a devious way that Jimmy's life and career are changed forever.
