While Jai leads the life of a gangster, Suraj is not inclined to violence at all. He meets with a young woman named Sapna, and both fall in love. When he takes Sapna to be introduced to Jai and the rest of his family, he is forbidden from marrying Sapna, as she is the sister of Oberoi.

Sapna and Suraj are able to convince Jai and the rest of the Singh family to give up this enmity, and let them marry. One day, Oberoi's men attack Suraj's friend Raghu and injure him. Suraj goes tho Oberoi's garage and kills all of his goons. However, Raghu dies from his injuries. Enraged, Suraj chases down one of the goons and kills him.
