During a raid on Tejpal's warehouse, Veeru accidentally shoots Jai in the head but he miraculously survives and makes a full recovery. Veeru then flees the state, and is subsequently arrested. Jai is assigned the task of returning Veeru to testify against Tejpal. They confront each other, and seem to find their friendship still exists. They both decide to be friends again, when Veeru claims he has Tejpal's diary, which includes all his secrets and whereabouts. When they go to catch him, Tejpal shoots Veeru, while Jai attacks Tejpal and kills him. By the time the police get there, Jai has already let Veeru flee, and Jai is arrested for what he has done.

Box office[edit]
Jai Veeru had something for the hardcore masses but nothing for the elite/classes. Its business, therefore, is restricted to the single screens, but multiplexes are terrible. It was a great film, disappointing multiplexes. It did a business of 5 Crores in all over circuits. It grossed around $2.2 million worldwide. Box Office India declared it as flop.
