action
Vinay is the police chief's son and is very knowledgeable about precious stones . That's why he also works for the jeweler Vishambar, whose daughter Anjali soon loses her heart to the young Vinay.
But at Anjali's birthday party, Shalini claims she is engaged to Vinay and falls around her "Amar" 's neck. The turbulence does not last long, because Vinay can easily prove that he is not Amar. There actually seems to be a doppelganger named Amar, but he is a notorious jewel thief.
Soon the jewel thief Amar pretends to be Vinay and robs Vishambar. Vinay cannot let this sit on him and decides to capture the jewel thief by pretending to be Amar.
After a while it turns out that Shalini's big brother Arjun Singh has a hand in it. Once passed off as a friend, Arjun tries to get Vinay out of the way and incapacitates him with drugs so that Vinay really believes he is Amar. Vinay soon pretends to be Amar and arrests Arjun and his gang.
