May contain story progression spoilers
Sahir’s criminal performances are staged through the Great Indian Circus, theatrical disguises, and large-scale motorcycle stunts.
Aamir Khan plays Sahir and Samar, and the film builds its central crime mystery around their intertwined identities.
The bank robberies are tied to Sahir’s grievance against the lender associated with his family’s financial ruin.
The plot frames the thief’s revenge and the police pursuit as competing claims involving dignity, justice, and personal loyalty.
