Bhairav forces him to run every morning and work at his metalworking factory. He also forces him to attend engineering classes at the local university. Bhairav is shown to be very abusive, both verbally and physically and does not care what Rohan wants. Rohan aspires to become a writer and his uncle, Jimmy, supports his ambition.

To avoid getting into an engineering college, Rohan deliberately fails his exams. Meanwhile, Bhairav is summoned to school to pick Arjun up, loses an important contract. Rohan comes home to find Arjun being rushed to the hospital for an unknown reason; according to his father, the boy fell down the stairs. Fearful of making things worse, Rohan tells Bhairav that he passed his exams. Bhairav goes to Calcutta on an urgent business trip, leaving Rohan to look after Arjun in the hospital. Rohan impresses the hospital employees including doctors and nurses with his stories and poems, and discovers that Arjun was beaten by their father after he lost the contract.

Returning from Calcutta, Bhairav learns that Rohan failed his exams. Enraged, he beats Rohan during the night and apologizes the following day. He also announces that he is going to remarry again and decides to send Arjun to boarding school and have Rohan quit college to work full-time at the factory. When Jimmy offers to take Arjun in, Bhairav belittles him and throws him out of the house. Enraged, Bhairav burns the diary in which Rohan has written all his poems, and later introduces his new wife and stepdaughter.

Rohan get furious and attempts to damageBhairav’s car for which he is send to jail for a night. He comes home to find his future stepmother and her relatives in the house, and learns that Arjun is leaving for boarding school the following day. Wishing Arjun luck, Rohan prepares to leave home. He exchanges bitter words with Bhairav in front of his guests before he punches him and runs off. Bhairav chases Rohan through the streets on foot, but cannot catch up to him. The next morning, Rohan returns home and finds Arjun waiting outside while Bhairav is gone to get an auto rickshaw to send him to the boarding school. Rohan convinces Arjun to go with him to Mumbai, leaves a watch (which Bhairav gave him on his 18th birthday) and a note warning that if he looks for them, he will inform the police about how he physically abused Arjun. Both the brothers walk away from their home towards a new life.

Ronit Roy has acted beautifully. He made sure that he did justice to the stern and abusive character of Bhairav. The movie precisely shows how an abusive household can traumatize children.
