editMithun is an honest police officer of the department and he is in love with Somy Ali. Even though he is a strict person to the outside world, he is lenient with his younger brother Jai at home. Jai is a "happy go lucky" guy who falls in love with Shweta. Meantime, a group of five criminals (Prem Chopra, Gulshan Grover, Puneet Issar, Amrit Pal and Sheila) plots a bank robbery and Saif is implicated in the robbery, putting him on the run from the police. Officially, Mithun is assigned the task of arresting Jai at any cost and he makes all efforts to nab Jai, but fails. Another important character is the governor, the husband of Sheila. The situation becomes even worse when the members of the group are killed one by one. Mithun is now determined to catch Jai dead or alive. Meanwhile, Mithun also reveals that his girlfriend Somy Ali is a bar dancer who works in the bar owned by the same criminals. On the other hand, Jai also tries to collect evidence to prove his innocence to his brother, but gets into a bigger problem as Somy Ali sees him coming out of the house of the criminal who was killed.[5]
