Yeh Saali Zindagi

Arun is a chartered accountant who works for Mr. Mehta and helps him run his illegal business. Arun is in love with Priti, but she falls for Shyam, who was introduced to her by Arun.

After Badey, a gangster of Delhi, falls out of favour of Minister Verma, he is sent to jail and humiliated and beaten daily on orders of the Minister. Satbir is a dishonest police officer who works for Badey and helps him in the jail. Kuldeep, who is also in jail with Badey, is released and goes to his wife Shanti. Badey's brother, Chhotey, and his gang of members, Kuldeep, Tony, Chacha, Guddu, and others, plan Badey's release by kidnapping Verma's to be son-in-law, Shyam, and daughter, Anjali. Things do not go as planned, and they end up kidnapping Shyam and his girlfriend Priti. To ensure Shyam's safety, Priti agrees to liaise between Verma and the gangsters, not knowing that Arun had been following them since the abduction. She meets Anjali, Verma, and Shyam's father, Singhania. However, Mr. Verma, who discovers Shyam's affair with Priti, refuses to negotiate Badey's release. Arun, in the meantime, transfers illegal and hawala money into the bank accounts of Verma's son and threatens him with leaking this information to the media if he does not ensure Badey's release. However, it comes to light that Chhotey wants to get Badey out only to get details of his bank accounts and plans to kill him. Learning of this, Badey gives the details of his foreign bank accounts to Kuldeep.

Upon being rescued from the prison, Chhotey unexpectedly comes from Georgia and meets Badey. In the meantime, police reach the spot, and in the crossfire, Badey escapes from Chhotey and is helped by Kuldeep and his gang. However, he is shot in the back and later kills himself. With Badey dead and Chhotey looking for him, Kuldeep decides to leave the country and asks Shyam's father for a ransom of ₹ 15 crores. Priti, under the guise of calling Mr. Singhania, calls Arun. Arun reaches the spot and tells Priti that he transferred ₹ 170 million into her account, which should be used by her to free Shyam and herself and live a happy life. Priti now realizes that she actually loves Arun.

Priti brings the money to a port from where Kuldeep plans to escape. Chhotey also reaches there, but Satbir double crosses him, and Kuldeep kills Chhotey to avenge the murder of his father. However, one of the bullets hits a railing and ricochets and hits Arun. The gangsters leave the spot, and Priti confesses to Arun that she loves him.
