Plot

Ratan runs a legitimate casino, unaware that he is under surveillance by an international gangster named Mogambha, who remains unseen, but is only ever heard. When Ratan is approached and asked to partner with Mogambha, he refuses, and is implicated in the murder of a man named Mombha. Thus entrapped, he agrees to be part of Mogambha's gang and is asked to work together with Pinky Nathani and Mike. Subsequently, Ratan is asked to kill Ajit Saxena, the Commissioner of Police, which he refuses to do. Mogambha's men then abduct his Secretary, Reddy, and his sister, Mala, and hold them for ransom until the time Ratan assassinates Ajit. Will Ratan commit this felony, or refuse —risking the lives of Reddy and Mala, and possibly losing everything he holds dear?
