His uncle tells him that "with great power comes great responsibility". A buisness tycoon and crime-lord, Nalin Oberoi, plans to use a mystic amulet to open a gateway to bring powerful demons onto Earth. He performs a ritual and himself gets possessed by a "rakshash", a powerful demon. Pavitr encounters a yogi, who tells him about the imminent dangers of Earth and his power to protect it. The yogi gifts him the "power of the spider" to fight evil. Pavitr is ecstatic with his new abilities and ignores a woman's cry for help. His indifference takes the life of his beloved uncle.
