The duo decide that they will get married after Priya is able to bail out her father. Sanjay is happy, but destiny has other plans: Sanjay dies in a car crash. But after he is escorted by an angel(David) to heaven, he learns that his death was a mistake.

The angel makes arrangements to send Sanjay back to earth, but his body has already been cremated. Then, the angel takes him to the house of Tarun Kumar, Sanjay's lookalike, who should have been originally killed instead of Sanjay. Tarun has been murdered just seconds before by his own brother(Prem Chopra). Sanjay learns that Tarun is a criminal & his brother wants to usurp his money. Now, it is up to Sanjay & his guardian to turn the tides & make up the loss.
