[edit] Synopsis

Crime is at it's highst peak in Mumbai with it split in 3 ways. Walia (Jackie Shroff) has one-third, Manik Rao (Manoj Joshi) has one-third and Roshni (Raveena Tandon) has a third of the Mumbai territory. The crime rate rises with more smuggling, trading and illegal activities soaring. Meanwhile, the CBI work constantly to stop this.

Inspector Vikram (Shatrughan Sinha) is a failure of a police in life and tends to stick with the easy way. Appa (Suniel Shetty) is an encounter specialist who goes after the henchmen instead of the bosses, he has a wife Janki (Preety Jhangiani) with whom they have a son. Const. Khaled (Paresh Rawal) is a happy-go-lucky cop. The three mens and the whole CBI's fate changes with the arrival of their new boss.

DCP Hari (Akshay Kumar) arrives and realises that the CBI are not serious and that the rules, regulations, and the very reason for joining the police force, have been thrown to the wind. With his girlfriend Kiran (Lara Dutta)whom he'd promise he would marry on his mind, he does not first like the promotion to the CBI, but later accepts it. He soon watches the cruelty of the police (esp. Appa) to the henchmen and orders them to be released. But during an encounter the henchmen kill Khaled, this awakens the fire trapped within Vikram.

He decides to join Hari and help him clear the city starting with Yusuf Pathan (Irfan Khan). Appa soon joins them and soon headaches arises for Walia and his gang. During the climax Appa dies in a dramatic trap. Vikram and Hari get Walia, Manik and Roshni arrested for their crimes and then Mumbai is clean once again.
