The young Maulaflees as his father takes a lone stance to ward off the Natts amidst the mauled bodies of his loyalists.Repressing memories of the carnage of his family he loses all recollection along with the knowledgeof his royal lineage.
Living in foster care his sole companion is his foster brother who, unaware of Maula's past makes amockery of his strange and timid disposition in a land of roaring warriors. But when his brother isbeing thrashed the true Jatt in Maula surfaces and strikes down the bully. This feat meets theshrewd eye of the owner of the village's wrestling arena who takes Maula under his wing.
Twenty five years later Maula emerges in the ring, an unbeatable fighter. But to ward off the onslaughtof nightmares that haunt him still he takes to drinking. It is during one of his drunken escapades thathe meets Mukko, the love of his life.
Unknown to Maula, the eldest born of the man who slaughtered his parents and plundered his home,Noori Natt incarcerates himself to find his nemesis in a hapless dungeon. In senseless fury he kills all,yearning to find a worthy challenger.
Meanwhile in the Natt fortress, the mantle of successor to the Natt clan goes to his cousin deemingNoori too unruly to rule the clan. But Daro, his sister beheads him with an ominous warning that allaspirants to the title, except Noori will meet the same fate.
