A poor fisherman named Mahadevi lives with his wife Sati, who has been ill with a fever for three days. They can't afford treatment, so Mahadevi goes fishing to make some money. He meets another fisherman, Chhagan, who claims that God has destined him to catch a big fish. Mahadevi ignores Chhagan's advice and catches a small fish, but then meets a crippled old man who gives him a handful of grains and tells him to scatter them in the river.
The next day, Mahadevi catches a massive red angel fish, which is worth a lot of money. However, a stranger tries to steal the fish, but Mahadevi fights him off. The fish has two precious stones in its stomach, which will change Mahadevi's fate.
The story then takes a turn and becomes a narrative about the power of fate and destiny. A son tries to change his fate by adopting a girl from a poor family, but ultimately realizes that he cannot escape his destiny. The story is then framed as a video that is being watched, with the narrator thanking the viewers for watching and asking them to like, subscribe, and share the video.
