Plot

Rajesh, a former motorcycle stuntman in a circus, is now a thief, expert in breaking open treasuries. In one such robbery, he is being watched by police inspector Amjad Khan. Sheela is a gorgeous disco club dancer and singer, Rajesh and Sheela are in love, but Rajesh has not disclosed to Sheela that he is a thief. Inspector Amjad Khan arrests Rajesh for theft after he is seen by an officer at a traffic accident. The court sentences Rajesh to two years imprisonment. Sheela is devastated after she realises Rajesh is a thief. Rajesh meets Vikram in jail, who along with his sister Jwaala, seeks revenge against crime boss Rakka, who cheated Jwaala and siphoned her money.

Meanwhile, Amar is a criminal in Rakka's gang who revolts against Rakka. He is a widower with a daughter Tina (Natasha Chopra) studying in a boarding school. Before quitting Rakka's gang, Amar has committed a crime, masked, and inspector Amjad Khan is investigating that case. Amar saves Sheela from a gang of rowdy bikers. They meet regularly as Sheela grows fond of Tina. Soon, Amar begins to love Sheela, who does not reciprocate because she still loves Rajesh. After a short time, Amar and Sheela get together.

Rajesh completes his prison sentence. Upon release, he meets Vikram who again reminds him of the deal to rob Rakka. During the conversation, Amar incidentally reaches the site and a fist fight ensues between Amar and Vikram. While fleeing, Vikram swears revenge against Amar. Thus Rajesh and Amar meet for the first time. Rajesh takes Amar to introduce him to Sheela; Sheela and Amar pretend as if they do not know each other since they don't want Rajesh to suspect them.

Later, Vikram's goons kidnap Tina and beat Amar, who is hospitalized. In return for Amar and his daughter's safety, Rajesh agrees to do Vikram's job. He nurses Amar back to health and soon they become thick friends. Amar promises Rajesh he will support him in this one last robbery. They plan to shift to London after the robbery with the money. They concoct a scheme whereby Amar would steal gold bars and jewellery from a safe, phone the police, let Rajesh take the blame and get arrested, and be sentenced for about 12 to 18 months. After his release, he will join Amar in the UK.

Things don't go according to plan as Rajesh gets arrested for killing Rakka, while Amar and Sheela arrive in London with the stolen money. Rajesh thinks that Amar framed him to keep all the money (as well as Sheela) for himself. Rajesh escapes from prison and arrives in London to confront Amar. After a brief tussle, Rajesh realises that Amar did not frame him. Vikram and his goons reach London to take revenge against Rajesh and Amar. In the climax, Amar sacrifices himself to save Rajesh, Sheela and Tina from getting killed by Vikram.
