Plot

The life of Birju is turned upside down when his sister Chhaya is raped and the unscrupulous defence attorney Dinanath concocts a false case to malign her. This causes their father to suffer a massive heart attack and die right in the court. Their mother also dies right there from the shock. Ashamed and devastated, Chhaya runs out of the court in grief and is hit by a passing truck and dies in Birju's arms.

Filled with vengeance and hatred, Birju decides to take revenge from Dinanath and his family. He goes to Dinanath's house, cuts off his tongue and kidnaps his sister Seeta. He then hands her over to a Madam, Zohra Bai, so that she is condemned to life of prostitution. Birju then proceeds to find Dinanath's younger brother as his next target.

Meanwhile, Dinanath's younger brother Vikram, who works as a taxi driver, searches the city desperately for his sister and her kidnapper. One night he rescues Birju from some local goons, not knowing his real identity. Birju introduces himself as Vijay, a name that he has adopted in order to evade the police, while Vikram introduces himself as Vicky. Both become inseparable friends without knowing that they are searching for each other.

While living with Vikram, Birju meets Chandni, who is spitting image of Chhaya. He thus adopts her as his own sister. He also develops a soft spot for Seeta, later known as Sitara Bai. After rescuing her from Narayan, Birju plans to marry her.

However, Narayan learns the truth about Birju, Vikram and Seeta and uses it to his advantage. He reveals to Vikram the true identity of Birju & there starts a fight. Narayan uses this opportunity to take Seeta and Chandni with him. Birju and Vikram eventually decide to set aside their differences and go after Narayan to rescue Seeta and Chandni. During the ensuing brawl, Vikram's brother Dinanath sacrifices his own life to save Birju, thus atoning for his sins. Narayan is behind bars. Birju marries Seeta.
