'''''Insan''''' (''Human'') is a 2005 Indian [[Bollywood]] [[action drama]] film, starring [[Akshay Kumar]], [[Ajay Devgn]], [[Esha Deol]], [[Lara Dutta]], and [[Tusshar Kapoor]]. It is a remake of Telugu film ''[[Khadgam]]'' (2002).

==Plot==
Amjad ([[Akshay Kumar]]), an auto rickshaw driver, who is searching his long lost brother Munna, and struggler Avinash ([[Tusshar Kapoor]]) who wants to be a star in [[Bollywood]] industry. Amjad wants to marry his lover Heena ([[Esha Deol]]). But her parents want her to marry a rich man. So Amjad plans to win her parents' trust by a fake drama with Avinash and his friend to act as fake goons and they involve Rathod to arrest and win Heena's heart. The plan goes wrong as real goons appear but Amjad fights them leading Heena's parents agreeing to marry her to Amjad. Meanwhile, Inspector Ajit Rathod ([[Ajay Devgn]]) is on a mission to eliminate a notorious terrorist Azhar Khan ([[Rahul Dev]]) who killed his wife ([[Koena Mitra]]) and the latter is underground from the eyes of law and planning to destroy [[Mumbai]]. Avinash, who is a struggler, on the other hand, loses his job as an [[extra (acting)|extra]] in films after an argument with an egoistic actor. A newcomer Indu ([[Laila (actress)|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. 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 ([[Asrani]]) casts them as leads in his next film after being impressed on their acting skills. Meghna, a news reporter ([[Lara Dutta]]) develops a liking towards Rathod, but the latter is still traumatised and angered on 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 kept passengers as hostages, with a deal to release his aide Maqsood (Ashok Samarth) and Amjad and demands a [[helicopter]] for escaping. 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 Azhar denies by naming it as ''[[jihad]]''. A fight ensues on during explosion at the station which Rathod and Amjad kill Azhar's men. Just when Azhar and Maqsood tries to attack Rathod and Amjad, both shoot them down. Rathod condoles Amjad to which the latter refuses, stating that the person who kills innocent people in the name of jihad should be gunned down. At the end, Rathod, Amjad and Avinash return from the ambush.
