This is the popular story of Tarzan retold in the Hindi language. Ruby Shetty and her widowed dad live a wealthy lifestyle. Ruby's father often travels to the deep jungles of India in search of a fabled tribe in the Shakabhoomi region. The people who have tried to trace the tribe have never returned. This time Ruby also decides to accompany her father.

Ruby is introduced to a man named D.K. by her father and he would like her to marry D.K. Days later, Ruby does a number of misadventures and is rescued by an ape-like man called Tarzan and both fall in love. Tarzan has never interacted with the outside world and cannot speak any language well, but he is intrigued by Ruby, annoying D.K.

Ruby's dad and D.K plan to capture Tarzan and take him to work for the Apollo Circus, owned by Krishnakant Verma. Tarzan is captured before Tarzan and Ruby's romance could take wing.
