01Plot

Once upon a time, there were 3 kingdoms, Malwa, Pushpapuri, & Panchala, which conjointly hid a secret treasure centuries ago, and its route map is secured in 3 different lockets. Generations pass, Malwa King Dharam Singh lives with his queen and two princes, Jay & Vijay. Suddenly, his vicious chief minister, Maan Singh, backstabs him by mingling with a dacoit, Shamsher Jung, and captures the fort. During that plight, Dharam Singh entrusts the princes to his allegiant Shambu and his wife Nandini, and they split. A thief, Daku Bhavani Singh, rears Jay, whereas Vijay is raised by Suber Jung, chief commander of Shamsher Jung. However, Shambu & Nandini fasten them.

Years roll by, Shamsher Jung passes away, and his hideous son Diler Jung gains control. Besides, Jay turns into a justice-seeking burglar, whereas Vijay is the chief commander of Malwa unbeknownst. Hereupon, Diler Jung knows the queen's whereabouts, and Vijay seizes her. Nevertheless, she safeguards the locket and is subjected to torment. Vijay cannot bear the unjust revolts when Diler Jung gives him the death penalty, but Shambu secures him in between; Vijay dears with Panchala Princess Padmavati. Accordingly, he learns that to win her, he must get hold of Pushpapuri & Panchala lockets and moves on to his hunt.

In tandem, Dharam Singh builds an armor team and frees the queen. Meanwhile, Jay makes naughty thefts at Pushpapuri and crushes Queen Ambika, who gazes at his caliber. Currently, she is delegating the challenge of picking up the remaining 2 lockets. Then, Jay & Vijay move several pawns and check each other. They triumph to gain the 3 lockets and fuse when Diler Jung & Maan Singh chase them. All of them proceed toward the treasure. Amid this, their birth secret is revealed and conjoined with the parents. At last, they win the glory and cease the baddies. Finally, the movie ends on a happy note with the marriages of Jay & Ambika and Vijay & Padmavati.
