Bakra
One stormy night, in a rural mental asylum, a particularly fierce and sadistic lunatic holds the entire psychiatric ward hostage. In the chaos that follows, the ward catches fire and a few patients, who are tied to their beds, are in danger of being roasted alive. Taking advantage of the chaos, a few dangerous patients escape. The guards fire upon them as they escape in the warden's car.
A huge fortress stands in the middle of nowhere. Within it is a resplendent PALACE. Three men, resembling vicious caged animals, land up at the palace to take shelter until their car, which has broken down, is repaired. MANSOOR, the leader of the three, is wounded in the leg. BAIJU is a footloose and fancy-free youth who follows no authority. RAMPAL, the most dangerous of the three, has the ability to wring a sparrow's neck without feeling an iota of remorse. Mansoor commands the other two to behave themselves properly, as he does not wish to attract any undue attention.
RAJA RANVEER SINGHJI, the MAHARAJAH, an invalid for many years, is lying in bed as his health has taken a turn for the worse. He could pass away at any moment. MAHARANI PADMAVATI, his wife, DR. BHALLA, his personal doctor, and their faithful servant SHIVA are at his bedside.
Much against the wishes of the rest of the occupants of the Palace, Padma allows the three to stay. She says that it is against the tradition of the Palace to turn away anyone asking for help in the middle of the night. She even insists that Dr. Bhalla treat the wounded Mansoor, who says that he was hurt due to a hunting accident.
In a manner akin to a razor-sharp defense attorney, Dr. Bhalla shreds Mansoor's story to bits. Bit by bit, he tries to prove that Mansoor is a criminal on the run from the authorities, who have shot him while escaping.
Rampal realizes that this Rajasaheb is the same man who's testimony put him away in a prison and was subsequently sent to a mental asylum for psychiatric evaluation, from where he escaped.
Baiju chases a shadowy figure in the Byzantine structure of the Palace and finds a beautiful and innocent girl called BELA. Baiju's loins are on fire and he refuses to sit still until his lust is satiated !
A BURGLAR called CHAMELI, has also entered the premises and is methodically putting away all the valuable items from the palace into a gunnysack. His last task is to clean up the main vault, which is in the Rajasaheb's room. It is going to be extremely difficult to open the vault till the Rajasaheb is in the room.
As the discomfiture of the palace residents rise and Padma is on the verge of asking the three to leave the Palace as soon as possible, the Rajasaheb is found hanging from the ceiling, after having being stabbed several times. Rampal is the chief suspect and Dr. Bhalla immediately wants to summon the police.
At this juncture, Mansoor throws caution to the winds and holds the residents of the Palace hostage. Rampal, whom Mansoor has restrained so far, goes on the rampage. Baiju finds an opportunity to violate Bela's innocence.
Keeping the Royal residents of the palace captive is far from easy ! These are battle-scarred people who are fanatically proud of their tradition and guard their self-respect with tremendous zeal. Valor and heroism runs in their blood.
They decide to retaliate !!!!!
And when the residents finally retaliate, the trio realizes that they have entered the palace like LAMBS TO A SLAUGHTER and getting out of it alive is absolutely impossible !
