Synopsis
Ravi Kapoor (Rishi Kapoor) and his wife Anita are holidaying in Kathmandu. One night, Anita disappears suddenly. Ravi goes searching her everywhere but in vain. He then files a police report about her missing status and Inspector Balveer Singh (Naseeruddin Shah) begins the search for her. The next day, Ravi gets a call from Father Anthony (Danny Denzongpa) saying that his missing wife is with him in the church, but when Ravi meets her, he claims that the woman is not his wife.
Inspector Balveer finds all the evidence is against Ravi, despite his attempts to prove otherwise. Who is this mysterious woman and why is she claiming to be Ravi's wife?
