Kali rapes Pooja, and then the corrupt inspector Shirke (Deepak Shirke) puts the blame on Pooja's fiancee, and has him killed while in custody.

Reception

The film was a success at the box office; that was mostly due to the action sequences featuring Sunil Shetty. One particular long action sequence features Shetty and Ali on a motorcycle, with Shetty clenching a stun-gun in his hand. Also the raunchy song "Aa Ja Jaane Jaa", gained popularity among the masses, thanks to some steamy shots between the leads (Sunil Shetty and Somy Ali).

The film won the Filmfare Best Action Award.
