Plot

Powla (Nadeem Baig) is a villager who always dreams of bravery and defeating robbers. In reality, he is very much a coward.

One day, he is awakened by his mother, Nighat Butt, who is about to die due to a snake bite. Powla wishes and vows to die and meet his mother in the hereafter. He lays himself on a railroad track to be crushed by a train but the plan is foiled when some men find him and take him to their boss. They are gangsters, wanting to take advantage of him, and they have an idea to scam insurance money. His insurance would give them double the benefits. Soniya Babra Sharif is made gangsters' secretary.

Powla is still in search of death. In the meantime, a lady is injured by the car of the gangsters. Powla sees her and takes her to a hospital, thinking that he may as well do service to this woman that he could never do for his real mother. Her daughter, worried for the missing mother, finally reaches the hospital. The lady recovers and makes Powla her son and brother for her daughter Sameena Peerzada. Powla knows that he has enemies in the city so he decides to settle in a village. A village boy, an actor, has developed a liking for his newly-adopted older sister Sonia.

Meanwhile, the antagonists are still trying to kill him. Soniya overhears their secret talk of killing him, and she saves Powla twice, keeping her identity hidden from him. The villagers think that Powla is a brave man. He is given money and a gun. He thinks of going to the city while Adeeb and Afzaal try to have him killed by their men. He is captured on a horse but runs away anyway.

Powla eventually discovers Soniya's identity. He is a coward but Soniya is brave. Her sister's marriage with the village boy is due to be held. The gangsters try to wound his adopted mother and rape his sister,(the bride to be). His sister dies, but Powla and Soniya both take revenge and kill their enemies. In the end, Powla, Soniya and his adopted mother go to Powla's village.[4]
