Abba shares enmity with the Verma brothers Mahesh, Rohan and Bipin (Pradhan, Joshi and Bahl) which the trio wants to kill Abba. Meanwhile, a dancer Kavita (Tandon) who works in Verma's dance club. Mustafa falls for her which heats up enmity of Vermas and Mustafa. Kavita meets Mustafa and he tells his life's history to which Kavita develops a soft core for Mustafa. He marries her and love blossoms. But this happiness does not last long as Kavita gets killed in a car blast (a plan hatched by Vermas to kill Abba instead).

Storyline
At the behest of Mahesh Verma, Shanta Prasad alias Abba, recruits
Ghulam-E-Musthafa, a gangster and hit-man to carry out their nefarious
activities. When Dayanand Dixit refuses to sell his property to Verma,
Ghulam is asked to move into their house, live with them, and eventually
force them to leave. Dayanand and his wife, Bhagyalaxmi, are shocked at
this and initially cannot accept a Muslim male to live together with
them and eat from their utensils. To make matters worse, Dayanand loses
his job, his son, Vikram, is unable to secure admission in any college,
and their daughter, Vidya, is unable to get anyone to marry her. Faced
with these obstacles, the Dixit family must now arrive at a compromise
with Ghulam and his masters - or else be shunned by the rest of the
community - leaving Vikram uneducated and Vidya unmarried for life.

Nana in one of his best
This is one of Nana's best films ever. If you like Nana Patekar then you should not miss GEM.
The story is about a hit-man who goes to any lengths to please his superiors, but soon finds that his activities have begun to affect his near and dear ones too, and he probably will have to change for the better.
The acting on Nana's art is the most outstanding thing - no one beats him really. The songs are good but all have a minor scale tone in them, the storyline is good, some action scenes are cool, and so are Nana's dialogs.
