Lady Catherine Polly Adams has come to modern-day India for a charity visit, but her real intention is to relive her young days in the pre-Independence India when she was friends with a young warrior named Kisna Vivek Oberoi. When fanatics killed the parents of young Catherine Antonia Bernath she managed to escape and asked Kisna to accompany her to the British Embassy in Delhi. Kisna agrees and they both flee, with the fanatics led by Kisna's elder brother Shankar Yashpal Sharma in hot pursuit. Besides , Raghuraj, an evil prince has become infatuated with Catherine and won't stop until he marries her forcibly . Kisna has to battle with foes from all sides to rescue Catherine .

The film is set in the India of the tumultuous 1930's when nationalists fighting for the country's independence rose up as one, urging the British to quit. At this time, a young Indian, Kisna befriends and then shields a British girl Katherine, from an enraged mob of nationalists including Kisna's own uncle and brother. Katherine is the young daughter of a ruthless British collector. Kisna takes it upon himself to escort Katherine to the safety of the British High Commission in New Delhi, who will arrange for her to board a ship home.
