Charlie meanwhile has tracked down Francis at an upscale hotel in the city and is craving to get his revenge. He refuses to heed his boss' orders to leave the hotel after delivering information of Francis' whereabouts, and instead tries to kill Francis himself. In a different room at the same hotel, two corrupt cops kill three drug dealers and collect a guitar case containing Rs. 10 Crore worth of cocaine, to be delivered to drug lord Tashi (Tenzing Nima). Charlie and his aide invade Francis' hotel room, and start seizing his belongings and beating him up to make up for the lost money when Francis' aide returns to hand over Francis a gun, which sparks a gunfight that lasts all the way to the parking lot, where the two cops are now placing the guitar case in their van.

Both leave each other, and after being spotted by the cops at a petrol bunk, he is mistaken for Charlie and is arrested. He is assaulted by the cops who refuse to believe that he is Charlie's twin brother until a phone call arrives on Guddu's mobile, with the call coming from Charlie's number, where Bhope is on the line. The crooked cops and Bhope strike an exchange deal- Charlie in exchange for Guddu and Sweety.

Guddu and Sweety are brought back to Bhope's house, where Bhope reveals that a local builder will pay him Rs.5 crores if he marries Sweety off to the builder's son, and he needs the money for the election. Guddu, remembering that the whole fracas is about the guitar case containing Rs. 10 crores worth of drugs, bargains with Bhope- Guddu will get Sweety if Guddu retrieves the guitar case for Bhope. Bhope sends Guddu and his men to retrieve the guitar case from Charlie's house.

Charlie is assaulted by the two cops who are desperate to find out about the guitar case, or else Tashi will be going after their heads. Realizing that they are in as much trouble as he himself is in, Charlie refuses to budge. However, in a freak accident, one of the cops accidentally shoots himself in the thigh, and Charlie uses the distraction and pick up a gun and make both cops his hostages, where he makes a deal with Tashi- the guitar case for a payment of Rs.10 lakhs. He sends the injured cop and his aide to Tashi to deliver the details of the exchange, and heads back to his house to retrieve the guitar. Guddu arrives there with Bhope's men, totally unaware that Bhope has delivered instructions to kill him once the guitar case is found.

Guddu and Charlie both meet in an abandoned house, and start fighting over the guitar case. Guddu manages to get a hold of the case, but Charlie threatens to shoot him should Guddu proceed. Guddu however asks Charlie to stop blaming himself for their father's death, saying that its not their fault their father committed suicide. Realizing that he has to finally choose the right path and be responsible for their lives, Charlie lets Guddu leave. However, Bhope's men are all found murdered when Guddu returns to the house, as the elder Bengali brothers, upon discovering the death of Mikhail, have gone on a killing rampage to avenge their brother's death.

While walking back, Guddu is held up by police, and after revealing the story, Guddu is asked to be a police informer while delivering the drugs to Bhope and help them catch Bhope red-handed. Guddu returns and finds that Sweety, who has discovered about Bhope's orders to kill Guddu, has gone berserk and is shooting at will with fury over her brother's actions. Tashi too arrives at the scene after being informed by Charlie about where the drug is heading to. The fracas is escalated when the cops show up and surround the criminals. Bhope starts negotiating with the cops so that the deal goes ahead, as Tashi, identifying Guddu as the rat, holds Guddu at hostage at gun point to prevent the cops from opening fire.

In the middle of the chaos, Charlie arrives and sneaks off with the guitar case. Moving to the veranda of a nearby house, he threatens to drop the case in fire and burn the cocaine if Tashi doesn't let Guddu and Sweety go. He asks Guddu and Sweety to run away, and soon after, the Bengali brothers arrive with Mikhail's body in their jeep. Enraged at seeing his friend's dead body, Charlie drops the cocaine into the fire; which spells the beginning of a violent climax where the cops, Tashi and his men, and Bhope and his men, and the Bengali brothers, all open fire on each other, resulting in a prolonged and vicious gun battle. Guddu returns to the virtual war zone to help Charlie , and is saved by a policeman. Charlie runs into Sweety and forces her to take cover in an abandoned home before returning to find Guddu, when he sees two diamonds in the hands of a dead Tashi. He goes through a short internal struggle over whether to do the right thing and walk away, or collect the diamonds and fulfil his dreams. Although he begins to walk away, he quickly returns to collect the gems and is shot by one of Tashi's African associates.

The film ends with Sweety giving birth to twins as a grinning Guddu receives. Charlie was only shot in the hand and survives, and finally manages to open up his own bookie counter at the course, using his friend Mikhail's name. An elegant woman named Sophia, who features in Charlie's dream at the beginning of the movie, is now his fiancee wearing one of the diamonds. It is assumed the other one has been used for opening his bookie counter. Guddu gets Sweety and Charlie his dreams.
