Victoria No. 203 is a classic Bollywood heist film released in 1972. The film stars Ashok Kumar, Pran Sikand, and Navin Nischol in lead roles. The story revolves around a vintage car called Victoria No. 203. The car belongs to a wealthy businessman, Seth Mathur (Ashok Kumar), who is known for his lavish lifestyle. The car is his prized possession and he takes great care of it.
One day, two thieves, Rocky and his sidekick, Johny (Pran Sikand), plan to steal the car. They manage to steal the car by replacing it with a duplicate one. However, things take a turn when they realize that the car is not just any ordinary car. The car contains a hidden safe that belongs to Seth Mathur, which contains his wealth and gold.
The thieves decide to keep the car and open the safe themselves. But they soon realize that the safe is booby-trapped and they cannot open it without the key. The key is with Seth Mathur, who has no idea that his car has been stolen.
The thieves then come up with a plan to get hold of the key. They kidnap Seth Mathur's daughter, Jenny (Saira Banu), and demand the key in exchange for her release. However, things become even more complicated when Johny falls in love with Jenny and decides to turn against his own partner, Rocky, to help Seth Mathur and his family.
