Plot
: Captain Vijay Malhotra (Pankaj Dheer) attempts to defend himself when corrupt
army officials, Pratap Singh (Suresh Oberoi), Virender Sinha (Dalip Tahil), and
Jaswant Dalal (Salim Ghouse), intercept a truck-load of arms and ammunition,
with the help of Virender's brother, Baldev (Sharat Saxena) which they are about
to sell illicitly to gangsters. Vijay Malhotra stops the trio of smugglers, but
subsequently is shot to death by a mysterious man by the name of DK, who is the
ringleader of the smugglers.The movie shifts to 20 years later where the Mumbai
Police gets a fax from the Australian interpol branch of one Jaswant Dalal, a
wanted smuggler entering India. An operation to nab him alive is handed over to
ACP Dinesh Kapoor (Ashish Vidyarthi), an old friend of the slain Vijay Malhotra.
Dinesh Kapoor sends a copy of the fax to a mysterious man named Vicky (Bobby
Deol) and tells him to "prevent" Jaswant from being nabbed by the police. Vicky
helps Jaswant escape from the police at the docks, but when Jaswant tries to
kill him to erase any witnesses, Vicky shoots him instead. Vicky then escapes to
Australia despite the police preventing it.In Sydney, Australia Vicky meets
Preeti (Preity Zinta), Pratap Singh's daughter, and woos her while getting into
trouble with Jojo, Baldev Sinha's son and beats him up. Vicky and Preeti both
fall in love. Pratap Singh and Virender Sinha (and his brother) are high-profile
criminals in Australia. Once friends and partners in crime, they share a shaky
relationship with one another. Vicky meets up with Pratap, who identifies him as
Jaswant's killer. Vicky promises Pratap Singh that he'd make him more powerful
than he'd ever imagine.Jojo destroys Vicky's apartment for his being beaten up.
Vicky storm's Baldev's household, kills many of his men, and makes him cough up
the money for the damage Jojo did to his apartment. Baldev reports to brother
who orders Vicky killed. Baldev and Jojo take a sniper to kill Vicky who's
receiving his mother at the airport. They discover his mother is none other than
Virender's estranged wife, Shanti (Farida Jalal). Convinced that Vicky is none
other than Virender's son, the assassination attempt is called off. Vicky is
then welcomed into Virender's gang. At a party thrown in Vicky's honor, Pratap
is stunned to learn Vicky among his rival's ranks.Virender takes Vicky to a
place where he keeps Pratap's, Jaswant's, and DK's secrets in files. Vicky
shoots Virender dead and dumps him into the bay where a shark eats him. He then
dumps Pratap's signature cigarette lighter at the crime scene. Vicky then goes
through the stolen files and discovers who DK actually is. The police retrieve
the lighter from Virender's crime scene and hand it over to Vicky who urges his
brother, Baldev to rally his men and launch an attack on Pratap. The squad is
gunned down at a checkpost by Pratap's men, save for Vicky, who was working with
Pratap to get rid of Virender's gang. Vicky then reveals to Pratap that he is
not Virender's son, and that he had fooled Shanti into believing he was her son,
since she had lost her own. He also reveals that he was sent by DK to kill
Jaswant, Virender, and Pratap, and that they should leave for India to kill DK
to make Pratap the undisputed crime king.Meanwhile Preeti overhears Vicky's
conversation with her father and reveals it to Shanti. Shanti calmly
acknowledges that she knows Vicky is not her son and that she helped him kill
her husband, whose weapons had helped kill her own son, unbeknownst to him. She
reveals that Vicky is Vijay Malhotra's son, Raju and that it was Vijay Malhotra
who was convicted of arms smuggling based on testimonies from Jaswant, Pratap,
and Virender. His dead body was stripped of all medals and his wife, Geeta
(Raakhee) and son were ostracized by his community. The community even prevented
his body from being cremated and leave it in a raging desert storm, where it's
lost in the sands. Preeti, upon hearing this story, agrees to assist Raju/Vicky.
Raju then calls ACP Dinesh Kapoor and reveals his plan of bringing Pratap to
India and his knowledge of DK's true identity. The ACP then sets Jaswant, who is
revealed to be alive and have been helping provide Raju the information to
finish off Virender's gang, free.Raju arrives in India with Pratap and takes him
to his village where his mother sits desolately in a temple at the village
outskirts. He reveals to Pratap who he really is and proceeds to beat him. DK
comes to rescue Pratap, and he is revealed to be none other than Jaswant. Soon
Jaswant/DK's men arrive and in the raging battle, Raju kills the men and maims
Pratap and DK, makes them confess the truth, and then leaves them for the
vultures to feed upon.His name cleared, Vijay Malhotra is given an honorable
military burial, and his son and widowed wife watch. |
