### Plot
The story is set in a city where kidnappers target the children of wealthy families and ransom is routinely paid.[5](https://www.primevideo.com/-/id/detail/0MZR0YA1NJMZHMK2A5P196HFV7) After Police Commissioner Hamza Sheikh retires, DSP Ali Haider Jaffri (Dharmendra) takes over.[4](https://boxofficeindia.com/movie.php?movieid=5863) He stops a bank robbery in a risky way that draws public criticism, and the son of the Continental Bank chairman, Srivastav ([Gufi Paintal](https://www.edgepedia.org/gufi-paintal)), is then abducted and held for ransom; Ali intervenes but fails to save the child.[4](https://boxofficeindia.com/movie.php?movieid=5863) • [2](https://www.justwatch.com/in/movie/kal-ki-awaz) The situation turns personal when Ali's own daughter Shagufa (Pratibha Sinha) and her fiancé Naseeruddin (Rohit Bhatia) are kidnapped, forcing him into a difficult choice to save them.[5](https://www.primevideo.com/-/id/detail/0MZR0YA1NJMZHMK2A5P196HFV7)
A Cinemaazi synopsis frames the film as a clash of principles and personalities: the Home Minister Nooruddin ([Raj Babbar](https://www.edgepedia.org/raj-babbar)) governs a disturbed state, while the newly arrived commissioner Ali believes that compromise with crime leads to weakness, which in turn perpetuates crime.[3](https://cinemaazi.com/film/kal-ki-awaz)
