Plot

In order to usurp the wealth of Rani Gayatri Saxena, widowed owner of the Devigarh estate, Sunil Verma – a daredevil gangster - is appointed by his boss to purport as her brother-in-law Ashok Saxena, who died 3 years prior in Manila. Amongst this wealth are some important documents, unregistered jewelry, and solid gold statues. Using some cunning and acquiring the help of replacement staff also sent by his boss, Sunil succeeds in forging the pieces of evidence to make it look like he is Ashok. Gayatri tries to prove him as a fake, but is repeatedly foiled in these attempts. Eventually, she calls Sheela, ex-fiancée of Ashok; however, Sheela surprises her by also welcoming Sunil as Ashok. Sheela is unable to tell Gayatri that this is because the bad guys have kidnapped her father and threatened to harm him should she not comply, and she is not able to get any individual time with Gayatri to admit this. Gayatri continues to try to prove this, but Sunil remains one step ahead of her through multiple attempts. Eventually, Sunil claims she is mentally deranged and takes her to an asylum to have her tested and admitted. Ultimately, to avoid undergoing shock therapy, Gayatri declares that Sunil cannot be Ashok because she herself killed Ashok 3 years ago. On the heels of this admission, it is revealed that Sunil is a CBI officer and his boss, Dinesh Dikshit, is the IG of the secret service. The documents are eventually retrieved and Gayatri is apprehended. The movie ends with Sunil and Sheela going off together.
