Plot
Vishal returns from police training to find most of his family — father Dharmadhikari Singh (Alok Nath), mother, and elder brother Pankaj (Arun Govil), who was also a police officer — murdered by Raja Thakur (Gulshan Grover). Only his sister-in-law (Reema Lagoo) and nephew are alive.
This is the same Raja Thakur who harboured ill will against the family, and it all started when Dharmadhikari, as a judge, sentenced his father to death.
Things only escalate after Thakur and his brothers' paths cross with those of Dharmadhikari and Pankaj.
However, Thakur finds an ally in a crooked advocate named Dhananjay (Prem Chopra), who not only gets the Thakur siblings out of their legal troubles but also gets his identical twin killed to benefit them.
Vishal is eventually blamed for the murder of Police Commissioner Kiran Shroff (Kiran Kumar)'s son, who was also allied with the Thakurs.
Dhananjay, by now a judge, convicts and imprisons Vishal after the public prosecutor makes it appear that Vishal killed the man over a dispute because the latter was pimping out his own sister Shalu, who happens to be Vishal's love.
Vishal uses the same subterfuge Thakur used to get out of jail temporarily without leaving behind any evidence, and kills one of Thakur's brothers.
In the end, Thakur is about to kill Vishal's sister-in-law and nephew, having captured the commissioner, when Vishal arrives and kills him and his henchmen. Vishal also gets Dhananjay to confess in court how he helped Thakur carry out his reign of terror, for which he is arrested and faces legal action as well as criminal proceedings.
