Plot Overview
The story follows Ajay Sharma (Shah Rukh Khan), a young man consumed by the desire for vengeance against a ruthless business tycoon, Madan Chopra (Dalip Tahil). Years earlier, Chopra fraudulently seized the business empire of Ajay's father, leading to his family's financial ruin, his father's death, and his infant sister's demise.
To exact his revenge, Ajay operates under a dual identity. He assumes the alias "Vicky Malhotra" to romance Chopra's younger daughter, Priya (Kajol), while simultaneously dating the elder daughter, Seema (Shilpa Shetty), in secret. The narrative takes a dark turn when Ajay brutally murders Seema by pushing her off a building, framing it as a suicide. As Priya begins to investigate her sister's sudden death with the help of a police officer friend, Ajay continues his cold-blooded plot to systematically destroy the Chopra family from within.
