Jaal: The Trap

In hilly areas of Shimla reside the Kaul family (mashobra), consisting of Major Amrish, his wife Sudha, a daughter, and a son, Ajay. Ajay meets with two accidents on his motorcycle due to the carelessness of Neha Pandit; this leads to their meeting again, and both fall in love. Ajay finds out that Neha has been widowed, but this does not deter him, and he convinces her father-in-law, R. K. Sharma, to bless them, which he does. Shortly after his approval, Neha is abducted by terrorist group Wafa-e-Alhak headed by Junaid Afghani, who demand the release of their chief Naved Rabhani, and in exchange for Neha, Anita Choudhary, the daughter of India's Home Minister Bhagwat Choudhary. Ajay is tasked with abducting Anita and bringing her to them if he is to ever see Neha alive again, but Anita has now relocated to New Zealand under the security of Major Amrish Kaul. Ajay travels to New Zealand, Anita falls in love with him, and he manages to bring her to Junaid, but confronts him to rescue both Anita and Neha. When it is revealed that Neha is the wife of Naved Rabbani, her father, Krishnakant, is Captain Rashid and was playing all along to trap Ajay. Anita is taken away, and Ajay is thrown off a cliff and branded as a terrorist by the government and public. Ajay then goes incognito to set things right, and he finally kills all the terrorists, including Neha, and saves Anita. He finally gets united with Anita.
