## Plot

[edit]

The narrative focuses on twin brothers, Raaja and Ram. Raaja is a commoner, while Ram serves as a CID inspector. Upon discovering that their elder sister, whom they believed to be deceased, is in fact alive and under the control of the bandit Sher Singh, they embark on a mission to rescue her.

Raaja becomes enamored with Rani, but she struggles to distinguish between the two brothers. To assist her, Ram grows a mustache to help her identify her beloved. Tragically, Ram is killed by Sher Singh's henchmen while attempting to locate their sister, leaving Raaja to seek both her rescue and to avenge Ram's death.

With the assistance of the police, Raaja identifies the culprits and, disguised as Ram, brings them to justice. He and his team rescue their sister from Sher Singh, but she is critically injured and ultimately does not survive. Despite this loss, Raaja and Rani eventually marry.
