Storyline

After the brutal deaths of Kanta Mirchandani and Sabrina, Bombay's Police Commissioner concludes it to be the work of a serial killer and assigns this case to Inspector Ashok, who lives with his widowed mother, Radha, and is in love with Nisha, a Journalist, and the sister of Advocate Munish. Evidence leads Ashok to suspect that Munish is the killer, and he is all set to arrest him. Then Shabnam, a Courtesan, comes forward and claims that she was attacked by a maniac, but managed to escape and assists the police to prepare a hand-drawn sketch. Hoping to have her positively identify Munish as the killer, Ashok finds the tables turned against him when Shabnam identifies him, not Munish, as her assailant.

User Reviews

It is a home chilling drama of horror and suspense !!

Anand and Munish are two fast friends. Anand is a dare devil Police Officer whereas Munish is a famous Criminal Lawyer but at the same time a great play boy. Nisha is Munish's sister. She is on the editorial staff of a news paper. Anand and Nisha are childhood playmates and are in love with each other.

There are series of rapes and murders in the film. To his utter shock Anand finds out that all the deceased girls were connected with Munish one way or the other. One girl Shabnam miraculously escapes from the hands of Munish. On the other hand Anand arrests Munish on the charges of rape and murder but Shabnam identifies Anand as the killer and the rapist. Was Shabnam telling the truth or was the trying to frame up a police officer ? Anand was not the culprit then who was ? It is a home chilling drama of horror and suspense. It will keep you guessing till the end
