One day Govind picks up Mary (Parveen Babi) who is heavy pregnant and offers to drop her to Parel. But the car wont start. Later Govind finds that Mary (who had recently moved across the street from Govind) uses her pregnant belly to transport illegal country made liquor across town. Mary is angry that Govind destroyed her stills. She hires Peter and his goons to abduct and trash Govind. But Peter tries to force himself upon Mary and only timely intervention from Govind saves her. Mary apologizes to Govind. Govind and Mary start dating.

Govind is not agreeable, but Rajesh spurns his brother and the latter's pride by marrying the rich Seth Verma's (Pinchoo Kapoor) daughter Manju (Bindiya Goswami) and staying at his father-in-law's mansion. To pay for the wedding, Govind had mortgaged his taxi and eventually loses it. Rahim uses his EPF retirement money to get the cab back.

One of the smuggling operations is foiled by the police (The truck topples in a chase), and Anwar, also mixed up in his business, is left seriously injured.

In the aftermath of the tragedy and Rajesh's realization of how he has been used by Bansi, Rajesh seeks his brother's mercy.

The judge at his trial is Hari, who is now one of the leading legal eagles in the city. In the course of the trial, the real identity of the accused and his brother are revealed to Hari. Hari adjourns the court and meets Govind in the locker that night. Hari knows that Govind is innocent and decides to fight the case. Hari now steps down as judge and becomes Govind's defense attorney. Through a series of astute investigations, he unearths the truth. Hari is able to prove that Bansi was the murderer as his watch was photographed near the dead body, before Bansi came back 30 mins after the murder and took the watch back. The police had not informed anyone about the murder for 4 hrs, so it is not possible that Bansi knew from anyone else that Seth Verma had been dead. Bansi, cornered, attempts to shoot Hari and escapes the courtroom, but is finally tracked down by Govind in his beloved taxi 'Basanti'. As the smuggler is arrested, the three brothers are reconciled.
