Plot

Vishal (Ajay Devgn) is a hard-working officer who takes care of his family and is in love with Sapna (Urmila Matondkar). Vishal's uncle Lekhraj (Paresh Rawal)is a top criminal. He is trying to kill Vishal because Vishal is trying to unveil the criminal without knowing it is the uncle whom he respects. Vishal's twin Arun (Ajay Devgn) is a robber. When Vishal is telling the Commissioner (Shivaji Satham) about Arun being his duplicate he is shot by Lehkraj's son. Vishal goes into a coma.

The Commissioner plots with Arun to portray him as Vishal the world's eyes. Sapna arrives when they are talking and the Commissioner tells Arun to hide behind the one-way transparent mirror. Arun ends up falling in love with Sapna. The Commissioner tells Vishal's family that Arun is Vishal.

Pooja (Mahima Chaudhry) loves Arun but Arun does not love her back. Time passes by and Vishal comes back from coma. Sapna is shocked and starts hating Arun because he did not tell her the truth. After that Arun keeps coming back based on Vishal's request to spend time with Sapna whenever he is busy chasing criminals. Sapna starts to love Arun. When Pooja finds out that Arun loves Sapna she is heartbroken. Sapna asks Arun what she should do. He tells her that he does not deserve her but Vishal does.

Vishal and Sapna decide to get married. The Commissioner finds out that the criminal terrorizing the city is Vishal's uncle. In trying to shoot Vishal, the uncle ends up shooting Arun. The uncle and his son are arrested and Arun survives. Just as he is leaving, Vishal stops him. It is revealed that when Pooja was telling Arun that Sapna loves Arun, she was actually talking to Vishal. Vishal unites Arun and Sapna. Vishal goes his own way, and so does Pooja.
