Plot

[edit]

Karan Shrivastav (Sunny Deol), a lawyer crusades for truth, fairness and justice. He is the son of Chandrakant Shrivastav, a journalist who uses his journalistic expertise to expose and unmask Justice Dharmesh Agnihotri, who is known as "Daaga" in the underworld. Suraj Singh (Sanjay Dutt) is a man victimized by Fate. To bear the loss of his love, Shilpa, he gets addicted to drugs. Then in a complete reversal of attitude he turns against drug dealers and vows to bring an end to the deadly drug smuggling which wreaks such havoc in people's lives. Dharmesh's daughter Vidya Agnihotri (Sangeeta Bijlani) loves Karan. Karan idolizes Justice Dharmesh Agnihotri (Danny Denzongpa), unaware of the man behind the mask of respectability. Daaga hires Suraj and deliberately creates animosity between Karan and Suraj. The enmity between Karan and Suraj is sealed when Karan's father Chandrakant is framed for murder and sent to jail where he is killed. Karan loses complete faith in the judicial system and vows to revenge on Dharmesh.
