With Raktanchal, the makers bring to the viewers high octane intensity and an action-packed crime drama inspired by real events from the '80s of Purvanchal, Uttar Pradesh, at the time when the state development work was distributed through tenders.

The criminal empire of Waseem Khan (Nikitin Dheer) who rules the tender mafia is challenged by a young criminal Vijay Singh (Kranti Prakash Jha) who is driven by vengeance. The story sets in motion a clash for acquiring tenders with a political battle in the background, which unleashes a bloodbath in the city of Purvanchal.
