Synopsis/Details
A childless and kind lady (Laxmi) lives with her husband (Harish) and one-year-old niece (Titli) in an urban city of India. When a stray dog (Gal) moves into the city with her son (Frank) and husband (Ben), Laxmi supports them in tough times. They become loyal, and Ben sacrifices his life to save Titli from her uncle’s (Praan) evil plan to usurp wealth left by her parents. Unaware of Ben’s death reality, Frank grows into an emotionally challenged, good but arrogant dog. He can do anything for five-year-old Titli, but fatherless childhood has scarred him deeply. The ruckus created by Frank to steal a gift for Titli helps imprisoned Praan flee in an accident.
Praan visits his sister Laxmi as a changed man, but Frank gauges his intentions and heroically foils his move to capture Titli from the school bus stop. Immature Frank earns immense praise for his bravery. Harish finds out and explains to Laxmi that her brother is a fugitive. They seek police protection but get played by Praan cleverly. Jealous Frank’s rival reveals the reason behind Ben's death results in Frank’s growing hatred towards Titli and ends up in a battle within. He falls into the deep dark, and Gal’s attempts to bring the old Frank back fails when Titli needs him the most. Goons disguise as police conspires. The stormy night asks too much of old Gal; she asks for help, but Frank refuses, and in a deadly chase, she dies, but she makes sure to get Titli's location through a stranger dog (Rig). Rig shakes Frank's loyalty; she realizes his duties, values, and sacrifices his parents believed in. First Ben, now Gal; devastated Frank can’t lose the only family left, Titli.
Frank and Rig go separate ways as a plan. Rig helps Laxmi, Harish, and Titli’s orphan friend (Noman) reach Praan's den, but they get captured. Frank encounters a fierce dog and his biological father (Grey) on his way. Grey explain that he was pet to Titli's parent and because of him their house burnt down and Titli became an orphan; therefore, he left Gal and days old Frank and spares them to own a disloyal name. At Praan's den, a big fight breaks out where Grey vindicates as loyal, and Titli’s parents' death turns out to be Praan’s conspiracy. Frank rescue and escape with Titli, but Praan follows them. Surviving an intense chase, a mudslide in heavy rainfall, Frank reaches the hill where he gets injured and unconscious. Grey reaches on time, but Praan fires a bullet at him and goes after Titli. Frank gains consciousness and promises his dying father to save Titli. He goes after Praan gets hit by a bullet, but he doesn’t give up and ferociously attacks Praan. Praan falls from the cliff and Titli too. Frank jumps after her and safely reaches the river shore. Harish and Laxmi adopt Noman, and they live happily with Titli and her best friend Frank.
