Mumbai Crime branch was at its lowest ebb. All work was happening in a highly
discretionary way. Sr. Insp. Vikram Singh(Shatrughan Sinha) believed that "There
is no point". With a few years from retirement he encouraged the others too to
leave things alone. Sub. Insp. Appa Kadam Naik (SuniIShetty) an encounter
specialist believed that elimination of criminals was the best possible way as
the law usually lets the culprits be bailed out. Const. Khaled Ansari (Paresh
Rawal) a poor man kept things in a lighter vein in the branch. Every body loves
to have him around. All of these officers had accepted a laid back and corrupt
nature as a way of life as they knew that no one could beat
the system.
Manik Rao n the Home Minister called the shots with the law firmly under his
control. An underworld don Yusuf Pathan (Irfan Khan) had his full support and so
did Gautam Wallia (Jackie Shroff), a rich builder and business magnate. The
three of them were making huge money by helping each other whenever the time
came. With the three of them ruling the roost, Crime Branch was reduced to a
virtually impotent force.
This changed when a young IPS Officer, DCP Hari Om Patnaik (Akshay Kumar) was
transferred there from Poona. Right from day one the officers found themselves
at loggerheads with their new boss who was determined to changed things. He
promised them that the day he gets an opportunity, he would take the system head
on. The opportunity came when Manik Rao had businessman Ajit Pradhan eliminated
by Yusuf Pathanis younger brother a murder that was never intended to be, as
Manik Rao just wanted Pathan to threaten Pradhan into submission. As destiny
would have it the Pradhan murder case came to crime branch. Vikram singh, Appa
Kadam Naik and DCP Hari Om Pathnaik combine into a magnum force and expose the
criminals and clean up the city from the clutches of the underworld.
