==Plot==
Bangalore-based police inspector Amar ([[Akshay Kumar]]) is approached by Mumbai's police commissioner, Vinod Talwar ([[Naresh Suri]]), and is assigned the task to go undercover and locate and kill the killer(s) of a businessman, Khanna. Amar soon finds out that the culprit is his childhood friend, Raja Lokhande ([[Nagarjuna (actor)|Nagarjuna]]) He is also called ''King Nag''. Amar's other childhood friends, Jaggu Lokhande ([[Paresh Rawal]]) and Surya (Irfan Kamal) are also working for Lala Roshan Lal ([[Gulshan Grover]]), a major ganglord. He joins their gang as well using their friendship.

Meanwhile, Amar rekindles an old flame with his childhood sweetheart, Pooja ([[Pooja Bhatt]]), who is Surya's sister. Pooja has distanced herself from her brother and friends as she wants to lead an honest life. Amar tells her that they can be reformed. Meanwhile, Lala starts to suspect Amar to be a mole in the gang after an encounter goes wrong. Jaggu confronts Amar, who denies it, supported by Raja. Jaggu then tells him to kill a police inspector to prove himself. Amar agrees and Pooja, in anger, distances herself from him as well. Amar shoots the police inspector in front of the gang and has proved his worth.

However, it is later revealed that the shootout was a hoax. Vinod confronts Amar telling him that he is not killing Raja and others because they are his childhood friends. Amar still insists that he can reform them and that Lala is the only actual culprit. Meanwhile, Surya tries to make up with Pooja and asks for her to tie [[Raksha Bandhan|rakhi]] on his wrist. At the same time, Lala's brother enters lusting after her. This anger Surya who beats him very hard.

Very angry, Raja confronts Amar and is about to kill him. Amar manages to calm him down, and Raja agrees to surrender after Roma is found pregnant. Jaggu meanwhile receives news from Lala that he can hide Raja but should bring Amar to him. Jaggu goes to their place and gives Raja tickets to escape Mumbai, but he insists on surrendering. Jaggu angrily tells him that police can't be trusted, but Amar then reveals that he knew Jaggu was the one who got Surya killed.
