Plot
The Rai family consists of four: father, mother Shanti, and two sons, Ajay and Vijay. Traveling on a ship, they run into a severe storm, the ship capsizes and the family gets separated. While Ajay and his mother stay together, Rai is separate, and so is Vijay. Wealthy Jagatnarayan Khanna rescues Rai, takes him home, ensures that he is treated well, and makes him a business partner. Years later, the Rai sons have grown up. Ajay is a lowly motor mechanic working in Pinto's Garage, but leads a parallel life as a lying conman Casanova, and dreams of making it big with a wealthy woman named Sheetal Khanna. Vijay is now known as Vikram, works for Sheetal Khanna, and hopes to marry her one-day, but also has an affair with a gorgeous woman named Mala. When Mala gets pregnant, Vikram refuses to marry her and an argument ensues. Shortly thereafter, Mala is killed and Vikram gets blackmailed by a man named Prem, who claims he saw Vikram kill her. When Vikram and Prem find out that Sheetal might marry Ajay, they team up to plot against him - and Ajay's lies and dual life make it easy for them to frame him.
