Gupt: The Hidden Truth

Governor Jaisingh Sinha discusses the prospect of FDI with influential industrialist Meghnad Chaudhry (Dalip Tahil), socialist Union leader Vilas Rao, minister "Mantriji" Sadanand Bose (Prem Chopra) and others. Sahil Sinha (Bobby Deol) comes from a wealthy family. He is the stepson of Governor Jaisingh Sinha (Raj Babbar) whom he does not get along with while Jaisingh tries to get close to him. Even Sahil's mother Sharda (Priya Tendulkar) cannot persuade her son to get close to Jaisingh. Sahil enrolls into college and reunites with his childhood sweetheart/friend, Isha Diwan (Kajol). The two drifted apart when Isha was sent to boarding school years ago. Isha's father Ishwar (Paresh Rawal) is the secretary of Jaisingh. Sahil also meets Sheetal Chaudhary (Manisha Koirala) whose father Megnath (Dalip Tahil) is a good friend of Jaisingh. Sahil and Isha fall in love while Sheetal falls for Sahil, believing he is also in love with her. Jaisingh and Megnath learn that Sheetal loves Sahil, so they decide to announce their engagement at Sahil's birthday party. However, this does not go down well with Sahil because he does not love Sheetal and intended to announce his engagement to Isha. Jaisingh and Sahil get into an argument and in a fit of rage, Sahil holds a knife up to his father, being stopped by his mother. Sahil gets heavily drunk at Dr. Gandhi's (Kulbhushan Kharbanda) house, Sinha's family doctor. Gandhi advises Sahil to reconsider, saying that Sahil will lead a happier life with Sheetal. When Sahil gets home, he is shocked to discover that his father has been stabbed to death with the same knife Sahil had threatened him with. Before Sinha can reveal the name of his attacker, he dies. Sharda finds Sahil holding a knife and assumes him to be the killer. Although he did not see the killer enter or leave, Sahil has one clue - a locket which may belong to the killer. The next day, he is taken to court, where his mother, Sheetal's father, Isha's father and all those who were present at his party testify against him and say that he must have been responsible for his father's death. Sahil is sentenced to 14 years in prison. Before he goes to jail, he is able to hand the locket over to Sheetal. Sheetal visits Sahil in jail and agrees to help him break out. In jail, Sahil relates his story to an old prisoner. The prisoner tells Sahil about an escape route. Sahil breaks out of prison with Sheetal's help. Once Sahil is out, he is reunited with Isha. Both Isha and Sheetal decide to help Sahil prove his innocence by solving the mystery of who killed his father. However, the authorities are on Sahil's track - no-nonsense Inspector Udham Singh (Om Puri) and his team is determined to capture Sahil. Sahil decides to visit Dr. Gandhi, believing he will have a clue. Sahil secretly meets Isha at her home, where he calls Dr Gandhi for advice, and Dr Gandhi invites Sahil to his home. However, he finds that Dr. Gandhi has also been stabbed - this makes the investigation more complicated. Dr Gandhi's servant reports Sahil to the police. Sahil and Isha are soon found by Inspector Singh but narrowly escape. Sahil returns to the city and confronts those who testified against him in court, believing that they all had some motive for killing Jaisingh. Now accused of two murders, Sahil suspects advocate Thanawala (Raza Murad). He enters Thanawala's office and brutally interrogates him, throwing him out from the window of his office. Sahil similarly interrogates Choudhary and Vilas Rao but it leads to nothing. Sahil, Sheetal and Isha trick Mantriji into attending a ceremony and abduct him. When Inspector Singh realizes what Sahil is actually doing, he believes that Sahil is innocent. The murders were committed by two identical knives. Singh finds the same set of knives at Ishwar Dewan's house with two knives missing and arrests Dewan, who confesses. Isha's father confesses to killing Jaisingh because he was angry that Jaisingh would not let Isha marry Sahil: Ishwar is put in prison. Sheetal tells Sahil that the murderer is Ishwar Dewan, and Sahil releases Mantriji. Isha, however, is shocked and tries to attack Sheetal, and later rushes to meet her father. Sahil, now free, returns home and reconciles with his mother and half-brother, Harsh (Master Harsh Lunia). Sahil gives the necklace to Harsh. Harsh opens the necklace and shows it to Sahil, who finds his and Isha's pictures inside. Sahil realizes Isha is the killer. In the meantime, Isha enters Uddham Singh's house and stabs him multiple times. Sahil interrogates Ishwar Dewan, who admits that Isha is the killer. He reveals that while Isha loves him immensely, she has had a massive anger management problem since her childhood, particularly when it comes to Sahil. As a child, she had killed Dr. Gandhi's dog after it bit Sahil, following which she was sent to a boarding school by Sinha and Dr. Gandhi to keep her away from Sahil. After Sahil's argument with his father, Dewan and Isha had gone to meet Sinha the following morning, to request him to unite Sahil and Isha, whereupon the latter rejected and humiliated them in a fit of anger and asked them to leave. Isha was so enraged that she later stabbed Sinha to death. When Dr. Gandhi realized that she was the murderer, she killed him as well. Sahil is shocked beyond words but understands that Isha will try to attack Sheetal next and calls her. He rushes to her house but is attacked by Babu Anna, an assassin hired earlier by Mantriji to kill Sahil and Isha. Sahil is injured but manages to incapacitate Babu Anna and reach the house. Sheetal is fooled by Isha at first, because the latter falsely apologizes for her misbehavior. However, Isha suddenly attacks Sheetal. Sahil arrives on time to save her and pulls Isha off Sheetal, who rushes into Sahil's arms. An enraged Isha tries to stab Sheetal, but Babu Anna tries to intervene and is killed instead. An injured Uddham Singh arrives and fatally shoots Isha. In her final moments, Isha begs Sahil for forgiveness. During the end credits, Sahil is joined by Sheetal in the club that he was seen in at the beginning of the movie.
