Plot
Amjad (Akshay Kumar) is an auto rickshaw driver, who is searching for his long lost brother Munna, and struggler Avinash ( Tusshar Kapoor) wants to be a star in the
Meanwhile, Inspector Ajit Rathod (Ajay Devgan) is on a mission to eliminate a notorious terrorist Azhar Khan (Rahul Dev) who killed his wife and the latter is underground from the eyes of the law and is planning to destroy Mumbai in order to release his aide Masood, who was arrested by Ajit. Avinash, who is a struggler, on the other hand, loses his job as an extra in films after an argument with an egoistic actor. A newcomer Indu (Laila) is helped by Avinash to enter the industry and soon both fall in love with each other not knowing that she had been subjected to a compromise with the producer Agarwal. Hopeless, Avinash decides to be an auto-rickshaw driver but Indu apologises and encourages Avinash to be a good actor. Soon, Avinash and Indu's luck turns when the filmmaker casts them as leads in his next film after being impressed on their acting skills. Meghna (Lara Dutta) a news reporter develops a liking towards Rathod, but the latter is still traumatised and angered by his wife's death.
Azhar returns home after the exile, but seeking the same motive of destruction: planning a bomb blast on train with passengers. He kills Rathod's friend, Inspector Deepak and is on the loose. Rathod learns that Azhar is none other than Amjad's younger brother, Munna, and arrests Amjad. Azhar calls Rathod at the Bandra Terminus where he has kept passengers as hostages. He asks to make a deal to release Masood and Amjad and demands a helicopter for escaping to Pakistan.
Rathod goes according to the plan and reaches the station where a horrified Amjad learns that his brother is a terrorist. Amjad pleads Azhar to leave the innocent people but the latter denies by naming his actions as jihad. A fight ensues during an explosion at the station which kills Azhar's men. Just when Azhar and Masood try to attack Rathod and Amjad, both shoot them down. Rathod condoles Amjad to which the latter refuses and disowns Azhar instead, stating that any person who kills innocent people in the name of religion should be gunned down. At the end, Rathod, Amjad and Avinash along with the hostages returns from the ambush.
