Perspective
The story begins with Shamsher Singh, an honest and upright police officer. His happiness is shattered when he learns that his sister has fallen in love with and married Pasha, a ruthless and notorious criminal whom he had recently arrested. Rejected by her brother, Shamsher's sister eventually returns, bruised and dying, with her newborn son. She reveals that Pasha only used her to manipulate her brother. When that scheme of his failed, he sold her to a brothel. She begs Shamsher to raise her child. She dies in his arms.
Still hungry for revenge against Shamsher, Pasha kidnaps Shamsher's own son, Ashok, and renames him Suraj. He raises Suraj in the world of crime, teaching him to be a professional thief and a master of disguise. Meanwhile, Shamsher, in a case of ironic role reversal, raises Pasha's biological son, naming him Vijay, and trains him to be a police inspector.
Suraj is unaware of his true identity. Raised by the Pasha, he grows up to be a charismatic and highly skilled professional thief. He is an expert in theft and heists, carrying out Pasha's orders without questioning his actions. He is a tough, street-smart individual, embodying a life of "paap" (sin).
Suraj's life takes a dramatic turn when he meets and falls in love with Aarti. She is an innocent and kind-hearted girl who is drawn to his charming personality. When she learns about his life of crime, she is heartbroken and refuses to be with him unless he gives up his criminal ways. Inspired by Aarti's love and her faith in him, Suraj decides to leave his life of crime. He starts working honestly to earn a living. However, this decision puts him directly in conflict with his past. He is pursued by Inspector Vijay, who also happens to be in one-sided love with Aarti and is unaware that Suraj is his long-lost cousin. The two brothers, raised as rivals, are now on a collision course, with Suraj trying to prove his innocence and Vijay determined to bring him to justice.
The story’s climax builds on the dramatic irony of the situation. Suraj must now confront and defeat Pasha and protect his family.
