The next day, a [[bomb blast]] occurs where Vicky and Maria are saved, but their daughter Tara dies. However, Maria kills her husband and tells that she is Vicky Chaddha. A cat and mouse game ensues, where Karan, Bhavana and Bakhtawar follow Vicky and defeats her army including Vicky's main henchman K.P. Though Vicky transferred the money, Karan reveals to Vicky that he had changed the history in which the money was scheduled, and that the money has actually been transferred to a replaced account, which will help the poor farmers in [[India]].
