The film was mostly a remake of Deep Cover (1992) starring Lawrence "Larry" Fishburne and Jeff Goldblum.
[4] Krishna (Sunil Shetty) is a new name in the world of crime, whose exploits attract the attention of Raja (Shakti Kapoor), an heir to a dead underworld don.
Raja is just reduced to remain at the mercy of Bhujang Rao, aka Bhau (Mohan Joshi), another don.
Raja loathes Bhujang and his attitude and extends a hand to Krishna, who accepts the offer.
Meanwhile, Rashmi (Karisma Kapoor), a club dancer, is lamenting the loss of Sunil, her love.
He was wrongfully arrested as a suspect and minister Amar Prabhakar (Om Puri) bailed him out.
Cobra decides to make Raja the de facto ruler of his operations in India.
The dancer also tells him that he keeps a record, mostly videotapes of the people he has sold the girls to, in order to blackmail them.
Sunil also learns that Amar's own daughter has been kidnapped and that Cobra has the tape which may uncover the identity of his sister's rapist.
Here, it is revealed that Amar's daughter was not kidnapped; it was only a ploy to garner public sympathy for the next elections.
