Angaaray (1998) Timeline Explained – Every Event in Order

Amar accepts the undercover mission because the Mumbai police commissioner directly assigns it to him. Though he discovers his childhood friend Raja Lokhande is the prime suspect in Khanna's murder, he believes he can both complete his duty and potentially reform his friends from within the gang. His hope of reforming Jaggu, Raja, and Surya drives him to infiltrate Lala Roshan Lal's criminal network, using their old friendship as cover.
