Plot

When ruthless crime lord Tuti Shah kills his associate Kishan to protect his criminal empire, he frames Kishan’s close friend D’Souza for the murder. Wrongfully convicted, D’Souza is sentenced to life in prison, leaving behind his seven-year-old son, Michael. The boy runs away after being shunned by his best friend, Vijay Sinha—Kishan’s son—who now believes Michael’s father is a killer.

Years later, D’Souza is released from prison and learns from a local priest that Michael has never been found. However, in keeping with a promise to his old friend, the priest has used money sent by D’Souza from jail to help raise Vijay, who is now a police inspector. Determined to clear his name and expose Tuti Shah, D’Souza sets out to see Tuti brought to justice.

Meanwhile, Michael (now grown into a streetwise young man) has become a pawn in Tuti Shah’s underworld games. Exploiting Michael’s loyalty to the poor, Tuti manipulates him into killing a rival, Bakshi Jang Bahadur. During the attack, a stray gunshot blinds a hotel dancer named Maria. Wracked with guilt, Michael secretly tends to her and the two fall in love, with Michael vowing to restore her sight.

Tuti once again coerces Michael—offering money for Maria’s eye surgery in exchange for assassinating Inspector Dharam Das. But the deal is a trap, and Michael finds himself hunted by Inspector Vijay, who is pursuing him for both murders while also aiming to bring down Tuti Shah.

Vijay’s own life takes a turn when he falls for a spirited pickpocket named Meena. His pursuit of Tuti, however, is frustrated by legal loopholes, prompting him to resign from the police and take matters into his own hands.

In the explosive final showdown, D’Souza, Michael, and Vijay join forces against Tuti Shah and his private army. The trio defeats the crime lord, but a bomb threatens Maria’s life. Michael rushes to save her and succeeds, but is fatally injured in the blast. In his dying moments, he asks that his eyes be donated to Maria so she can see the world again.

The film closes with Maria’s surgery a success. Now able to see, she envisions Michael before her—his sacrifice forever etched in her heart.
