One day, Jai goes to a bank while some goons rush in to rob it. Jai's guiding stick has a long sword inside used for self defense. When the goons threaten a customer's child, Jai uses his sixth sense and his sword to kill the goons and save the child. The child's grateful mother gives Jai a cheque for 4 lakh rupees and this is posted on newspapers.
Anita see the newspaper and gets upset at Kishen for keeping the 4 lakh rupees to himself. Kishen determines that Jai must be his look-alike. The two plan to use Jai's identity to steal so that Jai is blamed for the crimes.
The next day, Kishen and Anita visit four jewelry shops to purchases jewelry using fake checks. They fence the jewelry to make money. The angry jewelers report the theft to the police. Luckily Jai is able to provide evidence that he was at the hospital having his eyes treated during the time of the robbery. The police deduce that the thief must be his look-alike. Overhearing this, Jai's mother believes that Kishen must be alive.
The Jewelers then go to Chhote Bhai, Anand Rao Antya's younger brother. Chhote Bhai tells Kishen to return the jewelry. He agrees on the condition that Chhote Bhai will help him get influence in return, to which Chhote Bhai agrees. However instead of returning the real jewels, Kishen gives the Jewelers counterfeit jewelry. Chhote Bhai is killed trying to stop Kishen's escape.
Meanwhile, Jai's mother wants him to marry his childhood friend Asha. Asha is a Kleptomaniac who is in love with Jai. Eventually Jai too falls in love with her.
Kishen continues to use Jai's identity to commit crimes. Seeing Jai's frustration, his mother finally tells him that Kishen is his identical twin. She tells him about their father's murder and how the twins were separated. Jai searches for his brother to bring him home.
One night, during the thunderstorm, the brothers come face to face in a temple. Jai informs Kishen that they are identical twins and Kishen confesses to his crimes. Kishen begs for forgiveness.
