Kaali is an elderly man who takes up a job as a boys hostel warden at a college in Darjeeling. When he first comes to the hostel, he notices it being dominated by a group of rowdy final-year students led by Michael, the son of a local leader. Kaali manages to put a full stop to Michael’s antics, which leads to enmity between the two. Kaali forms a close bond with an NRI hostelite Anwar, who is in a romantic relationship with Anu, the daughter of a pranic healer, Mangalam. When Kaali meets Mangalam to convince her to accept her daughter’s relationship with Anwar, they both fall in love.
Michael, who lusts for Anu, is angered on hearing of her relationship with Anwar, and attempts to harass them, only to be stopped by Kaali, who ensures the suspension of he and his friends, with Anwar recording and sharing the humiliation of Michael and his gang. This video is noticed far away in Uttar Pradesh by a local goon Jithu, the son of a powerful politician Singaaram alias Singaar Singh. Singaar and Kaali have a past animosity and on seeing Kaali and Anwar in the video, he sends his men to Darjeeling to kill them both. At the same time, Michael, humiliated at his suspension, sends his men to beat up (but not kill) Kaali. Michael’s plan backfires as he and his men are caught in the fight between Kaali and Singaar’s men. Kaali subdues Singaar’s men, following which Anwar learns about his past.
