Unlike the romantic heroes of the time, Vijay doesn't take "no" for an answer. When Shivani marries Ashok (Deepak Tijori), Vijay’s rejection turns into a calculated mission to destroy her life. He frames her for murder, causes the death of her husband and sister-in-law, and leaves her to rot in prison. The second half of the film transitions into a gritty revenge saga as Shivani, hardened by the horrors of jail, sets out to systematically dismantle Vijay. Why Anjaam is a Must-Watch

The narrative centers on Vijay Agnihotri (Shah Rukh Khan), a wealthy, spoilt, and immature young man. Vijay encounters Shivani (Madhuri Dixit) on a flight and becomes instantly obsessed with her. He misinterprets her polite professionalism as reciprocated love.
