SYNOPSIS
Ajay Sharma (Shah Rukh Khan) becomes a baazigar, a gambler, in order to
win over Priya (Kajol) and eventually to bring about the ruin of her father
Madan Chopra (Dalip Tahil). Earlier, Chopra had similarly ruined Ajay's
father Vishwanath Sharma (Anant Mahadevan) by appropriating Sharma's industries
and forcing Ajay's family onto the streets.
Ajay begins his calculated revenge by seducing the elder sister Seema (Shilpa
Shetty). As a prank, he gets Seema to write a suicide note. Afraid of her
father's anger, Seema decides to marry Ajay secretly but when they reach
the marriage registrar's office, Ajay cold-bloodedly pushes her off the
top of the building and makes his getaway unnoticed. The note in her handwriting
seems to point to suicide but her sister Priya suspects foul play.
Meanwhile Ajay Sharma, who changes his identity to Vicky, begins ingratiating
himself with the father and the younger daughter. Soon after their engagement,
a friend of Seema's, who claimed to have proof of the killer, is mysteriously
discovered dead and now Priya seeks the help of her friend, a police officer,
to track down her sister's killer.
In an exceptionally gory ending, Ajay dies in his mother's (Raakhee) arms
after killing Madan Chopra.
