The shocking twist reveals that Champak, Genda, and Gulab were actually the masterminds behind a series of bank heists all along. Their seemingly incompetent robbery of this bank was staged as part of a larger scheme to expose the Home Minister's corruption while also escaping with the money. Their actions inside the bank, freeing hostages and stopping Jugnu, were designed to frame themselves as heroes while accomplishing their real goals.

Amjad Khan, the CBI officer, issues a strict one-hour deadline for the robbers to surrender. He warns that he will use force to save hostages if the time runs out, prioritizing stopping the criminals over sparing hostage lives if necessary. This creates massive pressure on Champak and his team, forcing them to make quick decisions as the clock ticks down.

At the film's end, Amjad Khan admits that Champak, Genda, and Gulab are the only robbers whose minds he could not read. This refers to his investigative technique of psychological profiling. The trio's elaborate deception, staging an incompetent robbery while secretly orchestrating a larger conspiracy to expose the minister, kept their true motives hidden from even an experienced CBI officer.

Foreshadowing: Earlier scenes show Amjad Khan confidently analyzing criminal psychology, making his later admission more impactful.

The film reveals that the entire bank robbery was orchestrated by Champak, Genda, and Gulab as part of an elaborate double scheme. They used the heist to simultaneously steal money and expose the Home Minister's corruption via the disk. By framing themselves as incompetent amateurs and then playing heroes who freed hostages, they manipulated everyone, including the CBI, to achieve their goals while escaping with the loot.
