It was released on 28 June 1996. The film is a remake of the 1992 thriller Unlawful Entry. The film was successful at the box office for the budget it was taking.Jatin-Lalit's music also became a highlight of the movie.

The film opens up in J.S Medical College, Pune, where the principal calls Dr. Rohan Verma (Faraaz Khan) and tells him that he has received a gold medal, a bungalow, a car and a chief surgeon post in Bombay. Verma and his wife Suman (Suman Ranganathan), a school teacher, both reach their new house in Bombay. One year later, while they are asleep, they hear a voice. Verma starts searching the house when suddenly a burglar (Makrand Deshpande) attacks him. Suman starts calling the police, but the burglar escapes. Two policemen, Inspector Indrajeet Saxena aka Inder (Milind Gunaji) and Inspector Sule (Vishwajeet Pradhan) arrive to investigate and tell them to file a report. While in school, a peon fraudulently puts drugs in Suman's handbag. Inspector Sule tells her that she has to be arrested in drugs case, but Inspector Inder informs her that she is free to go as the drugs were put by the peon and he has confessed. The peon is shown dead on the floor with blood on his face.

Dr. Verma invites Inspector Inder to their home for dinner. Inder arrives with Soley. While they are partying, Inder starts asking them about children to which both get depressed. Next day, Inder invites Verma to a men-only party. After the party, Inder takes Verma to an area where only criminals live. He goes inside and brings a man—the same person who came as a burglar in Verma's house. Inder asks Verma to take his revenge but Verma refuses and says that he cannot take the life of any person. To this, Inder frees the burglar but shoots him while he is escaping. Verma reaches home and tells his wife that Inder is a psycho and that she should maintain a distance from him. To this Suman tells him that whatever Inder did was right. The next day, Inder meets Suman and justifies his actions saying that the burglar deserved this punishment. Inder then arrives at a party, given in honour of Dr. Verma. Verma tells him to leave but he refuses. Inder is in reality lusting on Verma's wife Suman and is trying every possible way to attract her towards him. Next day, Inder meets Suman and asks her the reason for not having a child. Suman tells him that two years earlier, while she was pregnant, she fell off from the stairs. Dr. Verma was busy in an emergency duty and could not come to the hospital to see her and she lost the child. She regrets that if Verma had come that day, they would not have lost the child.
