The film revolves around the life of Inspector Vijay Saxena, played by Naseeruddin Shah, who is a dedicated police officer. He is married to Shanti, played by Pallavi Joshi, and they have a daughter named Pinky.

Vijay's life takes a turn when he gets a call informing him about a criminal, Shakaal, played by Kiran Kumar, who has just escaped from jail. Shakaal was responsible for killing Vijay's brother, which makes Vijay more determined to bring him back to jail. However, this time, Shakaal not only plans to take revenge against Vijay, but also wants to ruin his entire family.

Vijay is a fearless and competent police officer who knows how to handle the worst situations, so he is not afraid of Shakaal's threats.

To protect his family, Vijay moves them to a safe place and becomes extra vigilant in his attempts to track down Shakaal.

Mohan is determined to expose the corrupt activities of Shakaal and the people who support him. Throughout the movie, Mohan teams up with Vijay in his quest for justice, which adds a new dimension to the plot.
