'''''Tula Pahate Re''''' ({{translation|I Look At You}}) is an Indian [[Marathi language|Marathi]]-language drama television series directed by Girish Mohite and Chandrakant Gaikwad and produced by Aparna Ketkar and Atul Ketkar, that was broadcast on the channel [[Zee Marathi]] from Monday to Saturday at 8:30pm and is now digitally available on [[ZEE5]]. The series stars an [[ensemble cast]] of [[Subodh Bhave]], Gayatri Datar, [[Shilpa Tulaskar]], Umesh Jagtap, Vidya Karanjikar and Ashutosh Gokhale along with Purniema Dey, Mohiniraj Gatne, Gargi Phule, [[Abhidnya Bhave]] and Sandesh Jadhav in supporting roles. The plot focuses on Isha Nimkar (Datar), a chawl-dwelling girl who falls in love with a wealthy businessman Vikrant Saranjame (Bhave) beyond the barrier of age and gets married to him, while unaware about his shocking past and her connection with his first deceased wife Rajnandini (Tulaskar).

== Plot ==
Isha Nimkar (Gayatri Datar) is a sober middle-class girl living in a chawl with her parents. One day, she has to deliver a speech at the "K.T. College" honoring the chief guest Vikrant Saranjame ([[Subodh Bhave]]), a wealthy industrialist in the "Saranjame Group of Industries" who lives with his widowed mother Snehalata a.k.a. Aaisaheb (Vidya Karanjikar), younger brother Jaydeep (Ashutosh Gokhale) and arrogant sister-in-law Soniya (Purniema Dey) in a large mansion in [[Karjat]], [[Maharashtra]]. Due to his fame and greatness, Vikrant has become a dear public figure surrounded by many people, including his close friend Vilas Zende (Umesh Jagtap) who is also his personal assistant.

Also, Isha's father Arun Nimkar (Mohiniraj Gatne) works in one of the stores of "Rajnandini Sarees" which is owned by Vikrant. On his way to the college, Vikrant's bicycle breaks down and thus he shares an auto-rickshaw with Isha when he meets her for the first time. Isha does not recognize Vikrant in the auto-rickshaw and speaks rudely to him for having money to pay, although she pays the fare of him too. Later at the college, Isha is shocked to see Vikrant entering as the chief guest and bursts into tears. Due to this commotion, she forgets her speech that lists many accomplishments of Vikrant, which leads to all her collegemates teasing her.

However, Vikrant defends Isha by advising her and her collegemates to always have trust in themselves and each other in any situation, and also gains Isha's trust by handing her over a blank cheque. Despite this, Isha and Mr. Nimkar modestly decide to return the blank cheque to Vikrant against the wishes of Isha's mother Pushpa (Gargi Phule). The next day, Isha takes the envelope containing Vikrant's cheque to his office and hands it over to his secretary Myra Karkhanis ([[Abhidnya Bhave]]). However, Myra is shocked to discover that the envelope is empty and humiliates Isha for being after a rich personality under some pretext.

Meanwhile, Vikrant reaches Isha's house to return her money from the auto-rickshaw fare, but Pushpa misunderstands him for the fridge repairer and tries to make him repair the fridge. Later, Isha meets Mr. Nimkar and they learn that Pushpa has gone to deposit Vikrant's cheque in the bank. Just as Pushpa is about to fill in the amount on the cheque, Isha and Mr. Nimkar intervene and refuse to let her do so. Pushpa then apologises to Vikrant after learning about his true identity from Isha. Also, Isha and Mr. Nimkar return the cheque to Vikrant and request him to keep it.

Further, Vikrant falls in love with Isha and offers her a job in his company. As time passes, Isha begins to develop feelings for Vikrant too, while Myra and Zende try to separate the lovebirds due to the fact that she also loves Vikrant. However, Myra and Zende's each plan backfires and Vikrant invites Isha to his mansion. While there, he reveals her the truth about his deceased wife named "Rajnandini", whom he loved a lot and whose sudden demise had left him much disturbed. Therefore, he named the department of "Rajnandini Sarees" in the memory of his late wife.

Upon learning this, Isha despises Vikrant for hiding this from her and storms off, but it turns out to be just a prank. Actually, Isha has forgiven Vikrant for respecting her while telling her all this. Later, Vikrant takes Isha for a helicopter ride and proposes marriage to her mid-air. Speechless on seeing his unique way of proposing marriage, Isha agrees to marry Vikrant but the couple faces opposition from Mr. Nimkar due to their age difference, although Pushpa agrees for their relationship. With support from Zende, Aaisaheb and Pushpa, Vikrant and Isha eventually manage to convince Mr. Nimkar and have a grand marriage ceremony under Myra and Zende's organisation.

After their marriage, things unexpectedly start changing when the audience sees a dark side of Vikrant and Zende. It is suddenly revealed that Vikrant's late father Dadasaheb has stated in his will that he can never inherit the Saranjame property and that Rajnandini is the real owner of it. Therefore, Vikrant married Isha to use her as a pawn to obtain the Saranjame property. Following his plan, Vikrant tries to pretend that Isha is the reincarnation of Rajnandini so that Aaisaheb and Jaydeep (who are the current owners of the Saranjame property) can easily transfer the Saranjame property to Isha.

After a couple of months, Isha discovers an ongoing fraud in the Saranjame company and the name of the fraudster is revealed to be "Gajendra Patil". Upon learning this, Vikrant and Zende mysteriously make an actor take the blame of being the fraudster and have him arrested by the police. However, Isha goes on to visit the election commission office to enrol Vikrant's name in the voting list, where she is stunned to see the name "Gajendra Patil" with Vikrant's photograph. At the same time, she shockingly learns from Jaydeep and Soniya that Rajnandini was actually Aaisaheb's stepdaughter and Jaydeep's stepsister, and that Vikrant was the son-in-law of Dadasaheb who made him change his last name to Saranjame.

Also, Jalindar Mane (Sandesh Jadhav), an archenemy of Vikrant, confesses about the latter's true identity and colours to Isha soon after he is released from prison. Having become sure of Vikrant's deception, a devastated Isha meets the ''Jogtin'' (Urmila Katkar), a woman asking for alms, and wishes to find the purpose of her life from the Goddess Ambabai. At this point, the beautiful face of a mysterious woman ([[Shilpa Tulaskar]]) is reflected back upon Isha from the divine plate of water. Eventually, a confused and heartbroken Isha confronts Vikrant over his true identity and Rajnandini's relationship with Aaisaheb and Jaydeep. However, Vikrant regains Isha's trust by narrating her a fake story of the past involving him and Rajnandini.

Further, Vikrant takes Isha to a private room of him in the Saranjame mansion, where all of Rajnandini's belongings are kept safely by him as souviners along with Dadasaheb's photograph. He goes on to uncover the large photograph of Rajnandini in the room before Isha. Isha is horrified to recognize Rajnandini as the mysterious woman whose beautiful face was reflected upon her from the divine plate of water. Due to the shock, Isha falls unconscious in the room itself and all of Rajnandini's life events miraculously flash past her eyes in her unconsciousness.

A flashback shows that the middle-aged Rajnandini lived happily in the mansion with Aaisaheb, a younger Jaydeep and Dadasaheb (Anil Khopkar). One day, her car breaks down on her way to an important meeting with Jalindar at his office. Thus, Rajnandini shares an auto-rickshaw with Gajendra Patil (Vikrant), an orphan who lives in a chawl with his childhood friend Zende. Gajendra is educated but unemployed while Zende is a street-smart boy who can easily fool people. Gajendra is revealed to be going to the same destination for an interview with Jalindar and falls in love with Rajnandini due to her richness.

After the two reach their destination, Gajendra intervenes during Rajnandini and Jalindar's meeting and gives his interview to Jalindar before Rajnandini. An unimpressed Jalindar initially rejects Gajendra due to his low percentage of marks. However, Gajendra is ultimately selected in Jalindar's company on the recommendation of Rajnandini, who was impressed with his attitude during the interview. As time passes, Rajnandini falls in love with Gajendra too and he eventually proposes marriage to her.

Despite Dadasaheb's hesitance to approval, Rajnandini gets married to Gajendra in a temple and rechristens him as "Vikrant" after the name of the male protagonist in the book titled '''Tula Pahate Re''' that Aaisaheb had gifted to her on her birthday. Rajnandini even recruits "Vikrant" as the heir to the Saranjame company, much to everyone's puzzlement. However, Jalindar hands over all the evidences against Vikrant and Zende to Dadasaheb, who disowns Vikrant through a harsh insult in private and secretly changes his will. An offended Vikrant immediately retaliates by arranging Dadasaheb to be killed in the consumption of wrong medicine.

Further, Vikrant also changes Dadasaheb's postmortem reports and secretly holds Aaisaheb responsible for his sudden demise. Meanwhile, Jalindar tries to tell Rajnandini the truth by meeting her in private but she refuses to believe him. Now, Vikrant has Zende kill Jalindar's own employee named Shivpurkar and frames Jalindar for the murder, causing Jalindar to be arrested by the police. Also, Vikrant and Zende prohibit the late Dadasaheb's photograph from the office. However, things take a turn when Rajnandini visits the office and learns about Vikrant's new rule about Dadasaheb's photograph.

On this development, Rajnandini goes to meet Jalindar in prison where he confesses about Vikrant's true colours to her. Moreover, Rajnandini has a microphone fixed in Vikrant's office cabin to expose his truth. As a result, all the conspiracies of Vikrant and Zende are recorded in the microphone. Upon receiving this proof, Rajnandini regrets her blind faith in Vikrant before meeting him in private on the mansion terrace, where she threatens to hand over all the evidences against him to the police. However, a miserable Vikrant mercilessly forced Rajnandini off the terrace to her unfortunate end on the fateful night.

The story catches up to the present where a horrified Isha wakes up to have a gut feeling that she is indeed the "reincarnation" of Rajnandini who has returned to seek revenge from Vikrant. The next day, while wandering aimlessly, Isha ends up at her maternal home where she does not hesitate to inform her parents about this development. Mr. Nimkar believes her to have some sort of mental illness and consults her a psychiatrist. However, Isha stands firm by citing her undying commitment to the purpose of her life.

That evening, Isha returns to the Saranjame mansion where she hallucinates the image of Rajnandini, who confides in Isha that she is her reincarnation. On this ground, Isha vows to punish Vikrant and Zende for the injustice they have served to the society. Isha goes on to confess about her true identity with Vikrant and Zende's conspiracies to Jaydeep and Aaisaheb, who both fall into an emotional trap and instantly accept her as Rajnandini. The three plan to avenge both Dadasaheb and Rajnandini's deaths along with Jalindar and Myra by making Vikrant and Zende realise their mistakes.

As part of her mission, Isha cleverly creates a rift between Vikrant and Zende due to the fact that Zende has grown suspicious of her true identity and tries to inform Vikrant about it multiple times. However, Vikrant refuses to believe Zende despite his numerous attempts to convince him. Eventually, Zende conspires to have Isha killed by his henchmen, but Vikrant intervenes and has himself accidentally shot in his arm by one of Zende's henchmen. In these circumstances, Isha considers calling off the mission due to the fact that she is also pregnant with Vikrant's child. Meanwhile, Zende has his henchmen abduct an unconscious Vikrant from the Saranjame mansion and bring him to his own house to settle the issue.

While there, Vikrant regains consciousness and Zende desperately tries to explain him the situation once again but in vain. In a last attempt to take Vikrant into confidence, Zende summons Jalindar to his house where he confronts Jalindar before Vikrant over being the accomplice of Isha in her conspiracy to seek revenge from them both. However, Jalindar silently commits suicide by consuming poison and confesses to Vikrant that Isha loves him a lot before he dies. At last, a furious Vikrant believes that Zende has betrayed him and their friendship and returns home after he shoots down Zende fatally with his gun.

Despite this, Vikrant eventually discovers the truth with the help of the confession about Isha being the reincarnation of Rajnandini that Mr. Nimkar had unconsciously made to him during a private conversation between them in the office. A regretful Vikrant laments his mistake of killing his true friend Zende and vows to teach a lesson to all the avengers who are plotting against him. In the meantime, Isha realises that Vikrant can blow her cover on benefit of doubt and decides to fight back with a strong heart, much to Aaisaheb and Jaydeep's gratitude.

The next morning, Isha appears before Vikrant in Rajnandini's clothes and recounts all her life events. She demands an explanation from Vikrant on why he served this injustice to the innocent Rajnandini when she had given him all that he wanted. Seeing no other way out, a brainwashed Vikrant finally admits before Isha, her parents, Aaisaheb, Jaydeep, Soniya and Myra that he did all this only to get rid of the sufferings from poverty which had caused his mother's sad demise. However, he carelessly taunts everyone that they cannot convict him for his crimes for not having any evidence for doing so.

Later that night, Vikrant contacts Isha and mysteriously asks her to come to the terrace. As Isha heads off, Aaisaheb is tremendously worried that Vikrant might do the same thing with Isha that he did with Rajnandini. On the terrace, Vikrant asks Isha what love means to her, to which, Isha replies that she understood the meaning of love only from him. At the same time, Vikrant also confesses that he still truly loves her despite the fact that she betrayed him and went against him, and that he killed his close friend Zende only out of his immortal love for her.

Despite this, the series has a shocking and tragic climax when out of a sudden, Vikrant unexpectedly jumps off the terrace and meets his death as he is unable to deal with his guilt, causing a lot of devastation to Isha. In the end, Isha bids farewell to Aaisaheb, Jaydeep and Soniya and leaves the Saranjame mansion with her parents for wanting to live her true-self, "Isha Nimkar", stating that the soul of Rajnandini has finally attained salvation due to the death of her killer, Vikrant. The series ends with Isha and her parents having started a catering business from their chawl few months later.

'''''Majboor''''' ({{translation|Compelled}}) is a 1974 Indian [[Hindi]]-language suspense thriller film directed by [[Ravi Tandon]] and written by [[Salim–Javed]]. The film stars an [[ensemble cast]] of [[Amitabh Bachchan]], Parveen Babi, [[Pran]], [[Satyen Kappu]], [[Iftekhar]], [[Jagdish Raj]], [[Farida Jalal]], [[Sulochana Latkar]] and [[Rehman (actor)|Rehman]]. In the film, Ravi (Bachchan), a terminally ill man, frames himself for a murder that he did not commit, so that his family can receive the reward money. However, he is ultimately treated from his terminal illness and escapes from the police custody in order to prove his innocence.

The movie is loosely inspired by two English movies of 1970 - ''Zig Zag'' and ''Cold Sweat''. The film was later remade in [[Telugu language|Telugu]] by director K. Raghavendra Rao as ''Raja'' (1976) starring Shobhan Babu and [[Jayasudha]]. It was also remade in [[Tamil language|Tamil]] as [[Naan Vazhavaippen]] (1979) with Sivaji Ganeshan and [[K. R. Vijaya]] , in [[Gujarati language|Gujarati]] as ''Naseeb No Khel'' (1982) and in Malayalam as ''[[Ee Kaikalil]]'' (1986).<ref>Ramachandran, Naman, ''Rajnikanth: The Definitive Biography''. India: Penguin Books (2012).</ref> The movie was also an inspiration for the 2008 movie ''[[Jimmy (2008 film)|Jimmy]]''.

== Plot ==
Ravi Khanna ([[Amitabh Bachchan]]) is an upper middle-class travel agent living happily with his widowed mother ([[Sulochana Latkar]]), wheelchair-bound sister Renu ([[Farida Jalal]]) and young brother Billu (Alankar Joshi), and is also in a relationship with the wealthy Neela Rajvansh (Parveen Babi). One rainy night, he deals with a wealthy client named Surendra Sinha ([[Rehman (actor)|Rehman]]) and accepts a lift in his car since there are no taxis around. Afterwards, Surendra is mysteriously abducted and shockingly found dead in a gutter, and police investigations for the murder lead two murder investigators - CID Inspector Khurana ([[Iftekhar]]) and Inspector Kulkarni ([[Jagdish Raj]]) - to the doors of Ravi's office to interrogate him about his meeting with Surendra. Their keen interest in Ravi makes him nervous as he is the last known person to have seen Surendra.

Around the same time, Ravi's life is turned upside-down when his regular attacks of headache, seemingly triggered by stress, is diagnosed as the terminal illness of brain tumour, which needs to be extracted immediately through a brain surgery. However, his examiner Dr. Shah (Sajjan) unintentionally scares Ravi with the range of possible outcomes of either paralysis or blindness or mental disorder. This shocking revelation puts Ravi in a dilemma and therefore, he hesitates to declare his decision to Dr. Shah, since he is deeply concerned about his family and Neela's future.

While aware of the fact that his brain tumour is set to consume him in six months, Ravi learns from the daily newspaper that Surendra's younger brother Narendra Sinha ([[Satyen Kappu]]) has announced a reward of [[Indian rupee|₹]]500,000 for the capture of Surendra's killer. This news provokes Ravi to come up with a scheming plan in hopes of bettering his family's financial conditions. As per the plan, he anonymously contacts Khurana in the police station and names "himself" in tip as Surendra's murderer. Also, Ravi instructs the police to deliver the reward money to the office of his solicitor named Advocate Rane (Shiv Kumar), who is his close friend and a lawyer. On the other hand, Ravi sends an anonymous letter to Rane's office, which reads that he should deduct his fees and hand over the amount of money to Ravi's own mother.

With the help of the evidences manipulated by Ravi and fingerprinting, Khurana and Kulkarni become sure of his deception, resume their pursuit and arrest him. During the trial, Ravi makes a fake confession of having abducted Surendra and killed him with an iron rod (which is also a part of the unreal evidences). On the basis of reasonable doubt, the court announces a verdict of death sentence to Ravi, much to his family and Neela's devastation. In a last attempt to change the family's fate, Ravi's mother visits Narendra and appeals for mercy before him, begging him to change Ravi's punishment into life imprisonment. Nevertheless, Narendra stands firm with his determination about Ravi's imminent fate at the tragic loss of his brother.

Despite this, things take a turn when Ravi's yet another attack of headache in prison lands him up at the hospital under police custody. While there, he fortunately undergoes a successful brain surgery with no side-effects for being rushed in on time by Khurana and Kulkarni, much to Dr. Shah's happiness. However, it is too late now since Ravi is already a convicted criminal of abduction, ransom and murder. Well aware of having condemned himself to be hung for a murder that he did not commit, Ravi reveals his suicidal conspiracy to Neela and Rane during a permitted meeting with them at the hospital, and they explain to him that the only way out to escape the consequences of his ill-advised actions is to find the real culprit of the crime.

Seeing no other way out, Ravi escapes from the hospital using some clever tricks and reunites with Neela, therefore leaving in search of Surendra's real murderer with her. During his mission, Ravi investigates a significant ring that could lead him back to the killer, and after interrogations from a one-time accquaintance named Mahipat Rai ([[Madan Puri]]) to a black market dealer named Prakash ([[Mac Mohan]]), Ravi comes across a kind-hearted and happy-go-lucky professional thief named Michael D'Souza ([[Pran]]).

After learning of Ravi's plight, Michael pledges to help him nab the real culprit since he had robbed the same ring from the driver of a car on a rainy night, unmindful of the fact that it belonged to the dead Surendra at the backseat. After all, Ravi is double-crossed by Michael as Prakash influences him to sell out Ravi to Narendra in exchange of the reward money. Thus, Michael ends up at the late Surendra's house where, in a twisted climax, he runs into Narendra and recalls him to be the driver of the car, whom he had robbed Surendra's costly ring from.

After a brief confrontation, Narendra admits that Surendra's wife Mona (Ashoo) was having an extramarital affair with him and that as Surendra walked in on them and saw them together, he killed the latter with the infliction of head injuries and threw his body off in the gutter, faking the latter's abduction in order to cover up his crime. Upon learning this, Michael sets up the meeting point of an abandoned, ramshackle wooden house on the [[Thal Ghat|Kasara Ghat]] with Narendra, where he will hand over Ravi to him in exchange of the reward money.

The following day, Michael visits Ravi's house in order to find out his reason for framing himself for the murder. While there, he has a change of heart on seeing Renu emotionally lamenting their unfortunate separation from Ravi and mercifully promises her that he will bring their smiles back. Meanwhile, Narendra secretly carries his revolver gun to the meeting point, fearing that Michael might expose his crime. Right as Ravi and Neela arrive at the scene, Narendra's conspiracy is exposed before them due to the three gunshots inflicted by him upon Michael.

Keeping the promise he had made to Renu, a gravely injured Michael turns the tables on Narendra and confesses about his crime to Ravi. On this development, Ravi is forced to leave from the scene to bring some help for Michael, who holds Narendra at gunpoint in a gravely injured state while being taken care of by Neela. Whilst returning with a physician, Ravi also leads Kulkarni and the police to the place on time where the dying Michael confesses about Ravi's innocence and Narendra's conspiracies. As a result, Narendra is arrested and sent to prison for his crimes, while all charges against Ravi are dropped. In the end, Michael expresses his wishes of happiness for Ravi's family before Ravi and dies succumbing to his serious injuries, having fulfilled his promise.

== Plot ==
Ravi Khanna ([[Amitabh Bachchan]]) is an upper middle-class travel agent living happily with his widowed mother ([[Sulochana Latkar]]), wheelchair-bound sister Renu ([[Farida Jalal]]) and young brother Billu (Alankar Joshi), and is also in a relationship with the wealthy Neela Rajvansh (Parveen Babi). One rainy night, he deals with a wealthy client named Surendra Sinha ([[Rehman (actor)|Rehman]]) and accepts a lift in his car since there are no taxis around. Afterwards, Surendra is mysteriously abducted and shockingly found dead in a gutter, and police investigations for the murder lead two murder investigators - CID Inspector Khurana ([[Iftekhar]]) and Inspector Kulkarni ([[Jagdish Raj]]) - to the doors of Ravi's office to interrogate him about his meeting with Surendra. Their keen interest in Ravi makes him nervous as he is the last known person to have seen Surendra.

Around the same time, Ravi's life is turned upside-down when his regular attacks of headache, seemingly triggered by stress, is diagnosed as the terminal illness of brain tumour, which needs to be extracted immediately through a brain surgery. However, his examiner Dr. Shah (Sajjan) unintentionally scares Ravi with the range of possible outcomes of either paralysis or blindness or mental disorder. This shocking revelation puts Ravi in a dilemma and therefore, he hesitates to declare his decision to Dr. Shah, since he is deeply concerned about his family and Neela's future.

While aware of the fact that his brain tumour is set to consume him in six months, Ravi learns from the daily newspaper that Surendra's younger brother Narendra Sinha ([[Satyen Kappu]]) has announced a reward of [[Indian rupee|₹]]500,000 for the capture of Surendra's killer. This news provokes Ravi to come up with a scheming plan in hopes of bettering his family's financial conditions. As per the plan, he anonymously contacts Khurana in the police station and names "himself" in tip as Surendra's murderer. Also, Ravi instructs the police to deliver the reward money to the office of his solicitor named Advocate Rane (Shiv Kumar), who is his close friend and a lawyer. On the other hand, Ravi sends an anonymous letter to Rane's office, which reads that he should deduct his fees and hand over the amount of money to Ravi's own mother.

With the help of the evidences manipulated by Ravi and fingerprinting, Khurana and Kulkarni become sure of his deception, resume their pursuit and arrest him. During the trial, Ravi makes a fake confession of having abducted Surendra and killed him with an iron rod (which is also a part of the unreal evidences). On the basis of reasonable doubt, the court announces a verdict of death sentence to Ravi, much to his family and Neela's devastation. In a last attempt to change the family's fate, Ravi's mother visits Narendra and appeals for mercy before him, begging him to change Ravi's punishment into life imprisonment. Nevertheless, Narendra stands firm with his determination about Ravi's imminent fate at the tragic loss of his brother.

Despite this, things take a turn when Ravi's yet another attack of headache in prison lands him up at the hospital under police custody. While there, he fortunately undergoes a successful brain surgery with no side-effects for being rushed in on time by Khurana and Kulkarni, much to Dr. Shah's happiness. However, it is too late now since Ravi is already a convicted criminal of abduction, ransom and murder. Well aware of having condemned himself to be hung for a murder that he did not commit, Ravi reveals his suicidal conspiracy to Neela and Rane during a permitted meeting with them at the hospital, and they explain to him that the only way out to escape the consequences of his ill-advised actions is to find the real culprit of the crime.

Seeing no other way out, Ravi escapes from the hospital using some clever tricks and reunites with Neela, therefore leaving in search of Surendra's real murderer with her. During his mission, Ravi investigates a significant ring that could lead him back to the killer, and after interrogations from a one-time accquaintance named Mahipat Rai ([[Madan Puri]]) to a black market dealer named Prakash ([[Mac Mohan]]), Ravi comes across a kind-hearted and happy-go-lucky professional thief named Michael D'Souza ([[Pran]]).

After learning of Ravi's plight, Michael pledges to help him nab the real culprit since he had robbed the same ring from the driver of a car on a rainy night, unmindful of the fact that it belonged to the dead Surendra at the backseat. After all, Ravi is double-crossed by Michael as Prakash influences him to sell out Ravi to Narendra in exchange of the reward money. Thus, Michael ends up at the late Surendra's house where, in a twisted climax, he runs into Narendra and recalls him to be the driver of the car, whom he had robbed Surendra's costly ring from.

After a brief confrontation, Narendra admits that Surendra's wife Mona (Ashoo) was having an extramarital affair with him and that as Surendra walked in on them and saw them together, he killed the latter with the infliction of head injuries and threw his body off in the gutter, faking the latter's abduction in order to cover up his crime. Upon learning this, Michael sets up the meeting point of an abandoned, ramshackle wooden house on the [[Thal Ghat|Kasara Ghat]] with Narendra, where he will hand over Ravi to him in exchange of the reward money.

The following day, Michael visits Ravi's house in order to find out his reason for framing himself for the murder. While there, he has a change of heart on seeing Renu emotionally lamenting their unfortunate separation from Ravi and mercifully promises her that he will bring their smiles back. Meanwhile, Narendra secretly carries his revolver gun to the meeting point, fearing that Michael might expose his crime. Right as Ravi and Neela arrive at the scene, Narendra's conspiracy is exposed before them due to the three gunshots inflicted by him upon Michael.

Keeping the promise he had made to Renu, a gravely injured Michael turns the tables on Narendra and confesses about his crime to Ravi. On this development, Ravi is forced to leave from the scene to bring some help for Michael, who holds Narendra at gunpoint in a gravely injured state while being taken care of by Neela. Whilst returning with a physician, Ravi also leads Kulkarni and the police to the place on time where the dying Michael confesses about Ravi's innocence and Narendra's conspiracies. As a result, Narendra is arrested and sent to prison for his crimes, while all charges against Ravi are dropped. In the end, Michael expresses his wishes of happiness for Ravi's family before Ravi and dies succumbing to his serious injuries, having fulfilled his promise.
