After sometime, Kiran gets pregnant, and her mother, Madhu (Mala Sinha), comes to look after her. A gangster, Shakti (Shakti Kapoor), abducts both mother and daughter, and holds them for ransom. Vijay thinks that Ram and Shyam are behind this abduction so to get money from him, and launches a manhunt for them. Shyam is apprehended, while Ram is on the run. Ram must decide to hand himself over to the police, and let his wife and her mother be at the mercy of Shakti or continue to evade the police and search for Kiran and Madhu.
