Plot

edit

For the benefit of his armaments supplier, powerful criminal lord Bhujang(alias Bhairav Singh) has an upright politician slain. The case is given to Inspector Karan, the son of a well-respected judge. Karan and Divya are engaged and much in love with one another. She is the daughter of Commissioner Arvind, and has a brother named Ravi who is the family's impulsive troublemaker. Ramesh and Karan's father are killed by Bhujang. Despite being aware of Karan's integrity, Arvind sends him to a village under duress where he encounters Jai Singh at the new station. Jai's father was murdered by the dacoit Bhairav, who is actually Bhujang.

Bhujang invites Ravi to join his gang and he sends Ravi and goons to kill Arvind as he makes arrangements to bring Karan back. They catch Karan, but he manages to get away thanks to the knife Ravi gave him. Later, Natasha, Ramesh's sister, who is gathering evidence of Bhujang's crimes, introduces herself to Ravi. Meanwhile, Jai is hired as a bodyguard by Renuka, an actress he had previously met. She is a crooked politician's daughter who aspires to wed his son and works for Bhujang. When Jai encounters Bhujang, he recognizes him as his father's killer.

Ravi and Karan promise to foil Bhujang's schemes. Ravi alerts Karan of his plans to loot a major bank. To reveal Renuka's father's wrongdoings as well, Jai brings her to the bank. In order to stop the robbery, Karan murders Bhujang's son. He arrests Karan, Ravi, and Jai, as well as Natasha, Renuka, Divya, and Arvind. After releasing Divya, Natasha, Renuka, Arvind, and the officers, the three fight and murder Bhujang. Finally coming together, Jai-Renuka, Karan-Divya, and Ravi-Natasha are happy.
