[edit] Synopsis
Vishal Agnihotri (Sunil Shetty), a convict, was imprisoned for the murder of four boys. He was compelled to do so and, upon hearing his story, journalist Roma (Raveena Tandon) decides to help free him. This publicity gets noticed by Mr Jindhal (Naseeruddin Shah), Roma's boss and hidden drug peddler, and he decided to take Vishal under his wing, training him to get rid of the competition in the area.
Inspector Amar Saxena (Akshay Kumar) is unhappy about the release of Vishal, especially when he begins to turn up around every murder site he visits.
