Convinced that even the worst criminal can be reformed, prison warden Adinath (V. Shantaram) relocates six lifers to an idyllic village. With a lot of patience and a little help from a female friend (Sandhya), he overcomes both the prisoners' violent tendencies and the local villagers' angry protests about the criminals' presence in their midst. Shantaram also directs this social drama that emphasizes redemption over punishment.
