Sunil Verma is asked by his boss to impersonate dead man Saxena and steal secret national documents, jewels and gold statues from Devigarh estate. Ashok Saxena, a race car driver, is the younger brother of Rani Gayatri Saxena's dead husband, who was the high commissioner in Manila. In Devigarh, only Gayatri knows Ashok on sight. Sunil has been briefed well by his boss. Ashok's picture with Gayatri has been replaced by Sunil's. She is unable to prove that Sunil is a fake and asks Sheela (Ashok's ex-fiancée) to come as she too knows Ashok by face. But Sheela also says that's her fiancée - is she lying? Or under some coercion?
Solid mystery thriller that doesn't fail to keep ones attention, and though it has some implausibilities - which all thrillers have, the trick is to not make glaringly visible - that can be confusing, it's quite riveting and has good performances all round, especially from Rakhee Gulzar whose portrayal as the benevolent rani is the main heart of the film, and so is Mithun who is a great counterpart as the man who claims he is Ashok Saxena. Of course there's a massive twist in the end, which is the highlight and executed in typical masala fashion.
