The actors, led by their producer Uday (Paresh Rawal), are assisted by [[Research and Analysis Wing|RAW]] agent Arjun Rastogi (Rahul Bose) in their efforts to foil the bombing. Arjun falls in love with Uday's wife, Shabnam (Mallika Sherawat) who also becomes involved with an [[Inter-Services Intelligence|ISI]] agent (Kay Kay Menon).
