Plot Summary
The story follows Krishna (Sunil Shetty), a convict who is released from prison and given an undercover identity. His mission is to infiltrate the criminal underworld and take down a powerful drug kingpin and his cartel. As Krishna navigates this dangerous world, he becomes embroiled in a conflict between rival gangs, particularly with Raja (Shakti Kapoor), the heir to a deceased underworld don, and Bhujang Rao (Mohan Joshi), another formidable gangster.
Krishna's journey is complicated by his past and his resemblance to Sunil, a pilot who died during training and was loved by Rashmi (Karisma Kapoor), a club dancer. The emotional turmoil and romantic subplot add depth to the action-driven narrative, as Rashmi grapples with her feelings for Krishna, believing him to be Sunil.
