Just like his father, circumstances force Rohit to become a gangster and he gets the nickname “Boxer Bhai”.

But their married lives are shattered when Gauri’s friend Jyoti (Resham Tipnis) husband who was a police officer and informer of Fracture Nagya gets killed by Rohit. Gauri, heartbroken, leaves Rohit and lives at her brother Munna’s house. Rohit tries to contact her but all efforts are in vain.
