Read the complete plot breakdown of Gumrah (1993), including all key story events, major twists, and the ending explained in detail. Discover what really happened—and what it all means.

Roshni Chadha, Sridevi, is an aspiring singer and the only child of Sharda Chadha, Reema Lagoo. When her mother is diagnosed with a terminal illness, Sharda sends Roshni to Mumbai with a family friend to help her become independent.

In Mumbai, Roshni meets Rahul Malhotra, Rahul Roy, who is impressed by her voice and helps launch her music career. As she rises to fame, they develop a romance; meanwhile, Jagannath “Jaggu” Nath, a petty thief and devoted admirer, harbors feelings for her that go unreturned.

Before Sharda’s death, she reveals that Prakash Chadha was falsely accused of a crime at the national level and had left due to pressure from Roshni’s grandmother. She urges Roshni to find her father.

While on a trip to Hong Kong with Rahul to search for Prakash, Roshni is arrested for cocaine trafficking; Rahul vanishes. Roshni is quickly tried and sentenced to death. In prison, she endures harsh conditions and is abused by guards. Jaggu arrives in Hong Kong to support her and hires a lawyer to pursue her case.

An escape plan is set in motion after tensions escalate. During a skirmish with guards, one is killed in self-defense by Roshni, while Jaggu kills the prison warden. They flee and return to India.

At the airport, Roshni learns that Prakash is indeed her father and had been wrongfully accused of treason years ago. Later, she confronts Rahul, who admits involvement in drug trafficking and framing her. She slaps him and has him arrested. In the end, Roshni reunites with her father and marries Jaggu with his blessings.
