Plot
Bankhelal Chaurasia Paresh Rawal comes to Bombay from Uttar Pradesh and starts a business of raising and keeping buffalos and selling their milk. He then advances into petty crime and works his way up to major crimes, such as dealing drugs, land grabbing, smuggling and murder. He soon gets a bad reputation and makes a big name for himself in the Bombay underworld as the kingpin of crime and thus most wanted by the police. There is only one person that he fears and that's Inspector Vishal Naseeruddin Shah of the Bombay Police who is also known as DAND NAYAK. Vishal has sworn to apprehend Bankhelal by hook or by crook, and he also has a reputation in succeeding no matter what the consequences are.. A journalist Shilpa Shirodkar who always prints Bankelal's underworld dealings is also threatened and happens to be Inspector Vishal's wife. Bankelal's son Suraj Manek Bedi gets his best friend Karan Inder Kumar to join the police so that he can take revenge on Vishal who imprisoned him for 72 hours. They start by trapping Vishal in a case of bribery for 500,000 rupees and getting him suspended. Vishal doesn't know that Karan and Suraj are best friends and in cahoots with each other. At first Karan hates Vishal but changes his mind when Vishal's wife calls him a brother she never had and Priya Tisca Chopra who loves Karan turns out to be Vishal's sister.
