Plot

Shiva is a burglar who loots the huge unaccounted black money stocked by filthy-rich businessmen. He has a twin brother Sathya, who is a kind-hearted youngster and does real estate business in all fair means. Sathya falls for Subha, who is an upright and brave girl. Sathya launches a complaint that his twin brother Shiva has been torturing him and is also behind several robberies. A corrupt ACP Kishore suspects that it is the same person, who cheats everyone with dual identity which is later revealed to be true. A cat and mouse game ensues between Sathya and Kishore, where he tries to expose him, but to no avail. Sathya reveals about his father's past to Subha, after she learns of this. He decide to mend his ways and lead a normal life with Subha. Sathya makes a deal with Kishore to fake his death, in exchange for ₹100 crores where he finally succeeds in faking his death and has Kishore arrested in charges of killing Shiva, Sathya and Subha get married. However, Sathya continues to disguise himself as Shiva to rob unaccounted stocks from corrupt businessmen.
