Plot

An honest Jailor Shamsher Singh is thrilled when his sister tells him that she is in love with someone. However, his happiness quickly turns to shock and anger when he learns that the man that his sister is in love with is none other than the ruthless and notorious criminal Pasha, who he himself had arrested a short time ago.

Naturally, Shamsher immediately objects to this alliance, but his sister, blinded by her love for Pasha, leaves her brother and goes with Pasha. Almost a year later, she arrives at his doorstep, bruised, beaten and clinging on to life while carrying an infant in her arms. She reveals that Pasha only married her so that he may be able to manipulate her brother. When that scheme of his failed, he sold her to a brothel. She hands over her infant son to her brother and dies in his arms.

Still hungry for revenge against Shamsher, Pasha kidnaps his only son, Ashok. He then renames him Suraj and raises him as his own son, turning him into a professional thief and criminal. Meanwhile, Shamsher raises his nephew and Pasha's son Vijay to be an honest police inspector.

A game of cat and mouse ensues between the criminal Suraj and Inspector Vijay with both trying to outsmart the other. Things get really heated when both fall for the same girl, Aarti but Aarti falls in love with Suraj. To make matters worse, Pasha decides that it is the time to complete his revenge on Shamsher.
