Vedaa Bairwa (Sharvari), a Dalit student of law joins a boxing club in her college. However, certain politicians and people of the village, don't find her fit to be a boxer and are of the view that only upper caste people can be a boxer, while she is fit only to mop the floor.
When Vedaa's brother is found in a relationship with an upper-caste girl, things change for Vedaa. Then comes Army Major, Abhimanyu (John Abraham) to the village of Barmer. He tries to bring in change gets Vedaa under his wing and starts training her to become a boxer. And the duo fight against all odds when the injustice against her family crosses all limits.
