The story is about young Vikram Saigal (Arjun Rampal), a student of law, of extraordinary brilliance. Despite the fact that he secured his degree with distinction, he refused to hold the brief, because he felt convinced that the ideals he stood for, clashed irreconcilably with those being practiced by the establishment. He knew he could not ever hope to change the order of the establishment.
But he certainly could aim at and strive for the founding of an institution as distinct from the vicious mainstream where corruption was the order of the day. And it was as if he had given a promise unto himself that he would not don the gown and enter the portals of justice, till he achieved what he aimed at. Yet, the moment came where he was obliged to donn the gown and fight a case, his first and last, and strangely enough, in defence of himself.
