Bhujang invites Ravi to join his gang. When Commissioner Mathur decides to bring Karan back, Bhujang sends Ravi
and his men to have Karan killed. They tie up Karan in his house and burn it down, but Karan escapes with the help of
a knife Ravi gave him in secret. At Bhujang's house Ravi meets Natasha (Sangeeta Bijlani). Natasha is Ramesh's
sister, who is working with the journalist Shrikant to get proof of Bhujang's crimes. Shrikant is later killed before he can
publish his proof.

Jai Singh leaves for the city. Renuka (Sonam), an actress he met earlier, hires him as a bodyguard as she is impressed
when Jai catches a bag snatcher. Renuka is the daughter of a corrupt politician who works with Bhujang and plans to
have her married to one of Bhujang's sons. Jai meets Bhujang and recognises him as the Dacoit Bhairav who
murdered his father.

Meanwhile Karan destroys Bhujang's large warehouse which stockpiled smuggled weapons, inflicting a big financial
loss to Bhujang. Karan secretly starts working with Ravi to destroy Bhujang's plans

When Bhujang plans to rob a global bank to overcome his financial loss, Ravi gives the information to Karan. Jai Singh
finds out about the plans when he over hears Renuka's father discussing it with Bhujang's son and takes Renuka to the
bank to prove her father's misdeeds to her. At the bank, Karan foils the bank robbery and kills one of Bhujang's sons.

Bhujang captures a large group of policemen along with Commissioner Mathur and has Karan, Ravi and Jai are framed
for it. He also captures Divya, Natasha and Renuka. Karan joins forces with Ravi and Jai to fight Bhujang. They escape
and break in to Bhujang's hideout where there defeat his men and free Divya, Natasha and Renuka along with the
captured policemen. The three couples Karan-Divya, Ravi-Natasha and Jai-Renuka finally unite and rejoice.
