Once upon a time, a young and beautiful prince lived in a shining castle in a land. The prince was spoiled, selfish, and unkind. One cold night, a shabby older woman came to the castle and begged for lodging in exchange for a single rose. The prince turns away the older woman, who tells him not to judge people by their appearance. Still, just as he tries to get rid of her again, she transforms into a sorceress, turning the prince into a hideous beast and the servants into things. She says, “Before the roses fall, the prince will die. If the prince does not love and be loved before the rose falls, the spell will never be broken, and he will never be human again.
One day, Belle, a beautiful and intelligent girl from a nearby village, wanders into the castle. The servants entertain her, offering her a chance to break the spell. Meanwhile, the Beast gradually falls in love with Belle. Still, he is troubled by his inability to express his love and suffers from the shame of his hideous appearance.
Belle escapes from the castle and is surrounded by a pack of wolves in the forest. Just as she is about to flee, a wild beast rushes in and saves her. Belle returns to the castle and tends to the wounded Beast.
The two realize each other’s kindness and gradually begin to feel each other’s heart. However, the roses are falling day by day, and the Beast is in danger. Will the day ever come when they will love and be loved, and the spell will be broken?

The story is set in 1920 in India, a colony of the British Empire, where the local people are given discriminatory treatment by the whites. Komaram Bheem, the guardian of the Gond tribe and a dauntless hero, rises to rescue a young tribal girl, Malli, who has been unjustly abducted by Scott, the Viceroy of India. Amidst the outpouring of grief and surging anger among the people, Bheem vows to fulfill his mission, no matter what fate awaits him.

Shortly afterwards, the office of Viceroy of India receives information that the Gond tribe’s guardian has gone underground in Delhi to retrieve the girl. In response to the Viceroy’s wife’s words promising promotion to special investigator to whoever captures the tribe’s guardian, a police officer asks her if it matters whether the man is dead or alive. This officer is Rama Raju who, despite being a man of Indian origin, ruthlessly executes his duties as a member of the British police. Rama is determined to capture the anti-British element whose identity remains unknown.

Having arrived in Delhi, Bheem hides in a repair store run by a good-hearted master and looks for an opportunity to rescue Malli. Witnessing Scott’s niece Jenny defending an Indian, Bheem is attracted to her beauty and then wonders if he might be able to infiltrate Scott’s residence if he gets close to her.

One day, Bheem comes across a child on the riverbank, surrounded by flames. As he bravely jumps into the fire, ignoring the danger to himself, Bheem meets Rama who is also trying to save the child. They unite to save the child from the fire. After this fateful encounter, Bheem and Rama develop a close bond of friendship, unaware of each other’s identities and intentions…

Rama eventually senses Bheem’s interest in Jenny and creates an opportunity for them to get closer. Bheem and Jenny spend an enjoyable time together, strolling around the market. The more he knows her unpretentious personality, the more he likes her. Jenny is also happy to meet Bheem and invites him to a party to be held at her residence. Without knowing about what is on Bheem’s mind, Jenny tells him that a girl named Malli is staying there. Bheem quickly takes off the bangle he is wearing, which has their traditional tribal design, and asks Jenny to give it to the girl. Bheem is excited to finally have a clue to get Malli back.

During the party at Scott’s residence, Bheem finds out where Malli is being held in captivity. He and his company, including Peddayya, sneak into the residence to carry out the plan to reclaim the girl, while Scott is away. But their plan is apparently leaked, and they find themselves surrounded by many police officers. Then Rama appears wearing the uniform of a British policeman. Bheem is shocked to learn the true identity of his friend, with whom he has deepened the brotherly bond. In fact, however, Rama has a cause that he must accomplish, even if he is condemned as a traitor to his homeland…

These men fight for their lives to have the right to live freely and to protect their dignity as human beings. Where is fate leading them? Is it towards friendship, duty, or perhaps love?
