When Ravi gains consciousness, he realizes that he had been doing wrong and changes his mind. He realizes his duties and now wants to save Ali Mohammed's land at any cost from Veljibhai. Veljibhai, on realizing this, takes the ownnership to capture the land in his own hands. He gets Ali Mohammed killed in the process.
