Story

The movie tells the story of two brothers, Vijay and Ravi Verma, who follow different career paths(of a smuggler and a cop respectively). Vijay is the elder one and has seen his mother go through hard times to bring up her sons. So he follows the path of crime to make easy money. Ravi joins the police force, though not intentionally, but for livelihood. Look up Career in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ...

As the professions chosen by them are so contrasting in nature, and since they live in the same city (in fact the same house) they were very naturally bound to confront each other. Their mom has to make a choice now, between the two sons. Being an idealist, she chooses to support Ravi.
