Plot

The film begins with the siblings Chandra Pratap Singh and Jwala Pratap Singh of a royal family. Since Jwala Pratap is spiteful, their father entrusts totality to Chandra Pratap. Knowing it, Jwala Pratap kills his father and absconds when Chandra Pratap loses his vision. Destiny befriends their sons Vicky and Raju. Then, Jwala Pratap is caught by the Police, and his wife Shanti dies, giving birth to a child, Gautam . Accordingly, Vicky faces a catastrophe and, out of hunger, turns into a criminal. Years roll by, and Vicky / Vikram Pratap Singh kingpins the netherworld but is revered by those in need. Besides, Raju / Rajeev Pratap Singh, a bold CBI Officer, is appointed to nail Vikram. Hence, the two friends stand as rivals, unbeknownst to each other. Vikram graciously raises Gautam, who crushes Dolly, the daughter of DP Saxena, a bank manager. Time being, Rajeev knits his love, Seema. Vikram fuses with his maid Maria and is blessed with a baby boy, Kethan. Rajeev consistently makes numerous attempts to seize Vikram, but he shrewdly bolts. Once, Vikram breaks into a bank by purporting his man Johnny as Saxena utilizing a plastic surgeon, Dr. Mehta . Rajeev breaks the mystery and apprehends Vikram. Here, Vikram craftily incriminates Rajeev, but he breaks the bar and abducts Kethan. In tandem, Maria and Gautam reproach the culpability of Vikram and plead for him to leave the path, which he keeps a deaf ear to. Now, Vikram flares up on Rajeev, and they recognize each other in the battle. Finally, the movie ends with Vikram surrendering, leaving his family's responsibility to Rajeev.
