## Plot

The film opens with Brij Mohan Gupta, a man in his mid-thirties, making out with Simmi, his 24-year-old mistress. Brij is the owner of a hosiery store, which is not profitable enough to lead a successful life. He is also fed up with his ball-crusher, loud-mouthed wife, Sweety, who does not even think twice before spending his hard earned money. Brij is also under a lot of debt.
To make a quick buck, Brij takes a loan of 2.5 Million from Raghu, through a business deal with Suri. However, this was all a ruse created by Suri who sold off his old material to Brij and he is left to pay Raghu the money. Raghu slowly starts threatening and harassing Brij. Brij plans to fake his death, but to no avail, as he cannot find the perfect body that matches his features.
In a quarrel with Raghu, Brij pushes him down the stairs, nearly killing him. Brij decides to fake his death with Raghu's. After doing everything, even exchanging his gold tooth, Brij ties Raghu to the car, and sets it on fire, burning Raghu alive.
Brij adopts the new name Amar Sethi and shaves his head and beard. He hides in a small hotel with Simmi along with the money he stole from Raghu's locker. The police get to know of Brij's disappearance through Sweety, as a store owner accused her of giving a false cheque originally signed by Brij. Inspector Beniwal is drawn towards Sweety, which she uses it as a ploy.
Simmi gets frustrated while living with Amar alias Brij, as she is locked up in their room and Brij cannot even make it during sex. She finds the money that Brij had hidden and tries to run away with it, but he catches her and, in the ensuing fight, kills her. Beniwal finds the burnt body of Raghu and claims it as Brij's, as it has a gold tooth identified by Sweety. After the funeral rites of Brij, Beniwal and Sweety make love in front of Brij's photograph.
Meanwhile, a missing mobile phone report is launched, which belonged to Brij and they arrest Amar for robbing the phone. He says he does not know anything. Beniwal had already learned that Amar is in fact Brij from Sweety, but he keeps it to himself. After a hilarious interrogation, Amar admits that he is Brij. But the police do not believe him. Brij is sent to life imprisonment, but Beniwal decides to set him free in exchange for money. But Brij evades him and runs away with the money. The judge does not get his money, and in anger, announces the verdict to hang Amar for the murder of Brij.
