Plot
The story begins one Diwali night, the lamps of joy were burning in all homes. But in one home there were no lamps of joy; only the splattering of blood as the deceitful Raja Saheb of that place, greedy to swallow up all the property and wealth of his partner Kishorilal, went on a rampage of mass murder and wiped out the entire family and from this splattering of blood was born the Badle Ki Aag, the burning desire of revenge.
Revolted by the cruelty of her husband and unable to live even a single moment under the same roof with this mass-murderer, Raja Saheb's wife Durga collected her little children and fled into the darkness, far from the sinful and blood-stained world of her husband and fate played a game with her. Fate separated her from her children. Circumstances forced two brothers into the world of crime; it made dacoits out of Shera and Lakhan. Both were brothers, children of Durga separated in childhood, both with the same blood in their veins, but unaware of each other's identities. Shera was ruthless, he grabbed everything he coveted, as though everything belonged to him, by right. Lakhan, on the other hand, was the champion of the poor. He too grabbed, but in order to provide for the poor and the helpless.
