News Reporter Payal (Twinkle Khanna) and her camera-man have been assigned the task of interviewing the world's highest ranking criminal don, Devraj (Akshay Kumar), which they accept. In the process, Payal and Devraj fall in love with each other,much to the opposition of Bismillah (Mukesh Khanna), Devraj's guardian on one hand; and Police Inspector Amit (Rajat Bedi), and Payal's brother Ravi (Vivek Shauq) on the other. What results is that Ravi is killed with Devraj being blamed and arrested. Payal testifies against him, and Devraj is sentenced to be hanged. When Bismillah finds about this plot, he tracks them down, but Raj kills him to save himself and Payal. But Devraj escapes from custody, and begins to plot vengeance against his enemies, including Payal, as well as the real killer of Ravi. As the story unfolds, it is revealed that Amit was the one who killed Ravi and joined Thakral (Gulshan Grover) to frame Devraj for it. But Raj betrays Thakral and kills him. He then takes Devraj on a flight where Devraj tracks him down and kills him. The story ends with Payal and Devraj getting married. This story was inspired by the real-life adventures of Rakin Ahmed Munjid, and his dushtami that he took from Dhaka to Illinois, California and Michigan.
