Dostana

Vijay Varma, a principled police officer, and Ravi Kapoor, a highly regarded lawyer, are close friends who safeguard their bond by keeping their respective professions under wraps. Unbeknownst to them, they operate on opposite sides of the law—Vijay arrests criminals while Ravi defends them in court—a dual life that they believe won’t affect their friendship. Their dynamic is further complicated by a shared love for Sheetal Sahni, a woman who captivates both men in very different ways. Sheetal becomes the emotional center of their world as each man navigates his feelings, hoping to win her heart while maintaining their loyalty to one another.

As the romance tightens, Vijay openly proclaims his love and wins Sheetal’s affection, but Ravi also harbors deep, unspoken feelings. When Ravi finally confesses his attraction, Vijay makes a painful, selfless choice to protect their bond, writing a letter that ends their relationship with Sheetal. The letter somehow reaches Ravi, who, unaware of its contents, does not react immediately. The plot thickens when Daaga, the crime boss behind much of the trouble, uses this emotional rift to weaponize the two men against each other. He unveils Vijay and Sheetal’s relationship to Ravi, pushing Ravi toward a treacherous path in order to sabotage his friend.

Daaga’s manipulation deepens when he draws in Tony, his loyal informant, who reveals a haunting backstory: after Tony refused to help Daaga’s smuggling operation, Daaga’s forces killed his family, leaving Tony’s son Johnny disabled. This tragedy fuels Tony’s bitterness and sets the stage for a volatile struggle between loyalties. As the legal battle escalates, Daaga frames Vijay for the custodial death of a suspect, forcing Ravi to defend him in court. Yet Ravi’s terms are brutal—he demands that Sheetal spend a night with him in exchange for his defense, a stark test of friendship and honor.

That night becomes pivotal when Ravi discovers and reads the letter, realizing Vijay’s selfless sacrifice. Overwhelmed by guilt, he seeks reconciliation with his friend, but before they can repair what’s broken, Daaga captures both men. They owe their lives to Sylvia, Sylvia, Daaga’s moll who is secretly Tony’s sister-in-law and a police informant. In the ensuing confrontation, Tony is fatally shot, but he ensures Johnny’s safety by entrusting his care to Vijay. Daaga makes a desperate attempt to escape with Balwant Singh, Balwant Singh, via a plane, and is pursued by Ravi and Vijay. Balwant is killed by Daaga, who is finally gunned down by Vijay after a last-ditch shot at his pursuers. The harrowing ordeal ends with the restoration of the long-fractured friendship between Ravi and Vijay, as they confront their shared past and look toward a more honest partnership in the future.
