Ashok, often called by his friends as Azaad, is a happy go lucky person.

His elder brother, a police officer is missing for the last few months. Bhabhi is staying away with Ashok waiting for her husband’s return. Ashok gives her no peace as he is always in the midst of some trouble or the other. One day she decides to return to her parents. Ashok pleads with her to return. She agrees on one condition that from now on Ashok will not indulge in violence. Bhabhi gives him a chain with a locket. Ashok says that this will refrain him from acts of violence.

He comes to town and meets his relatives Ramesh and Rekha- a brother and sister team. Ramesh takes him to his boss Ajit Singh was busy giving fencing lessons to Seema was they had already met earlier in a village picnic party where they had a confrontation. She instantly dislikes him and to teach him a lesson asks Ajit Singh to give him a job.

Ashok gets the job and also succeeds in winning over Seema with his heroism and gem like qualities. The drama thickens when one day Ramesh is missing. After a few days Ashok dramatically saves Thakursahib from a fire. He is dragged and made to appear insane by Ajit Singh.

Why? What secret Thakursahib knew? Why is Ramesh still missing? Did Ashok’s elder brother return at all? What is the game of Ajit Singh? Seema weds whom? Prem or Ashok? See in Azaad.
