[edit] Synopsis
The film highlights the economics behind running a mafia gang. The story revolves around a young man named Chandu (played by Vivek Oberoi) joining the world of crime in the Mumbai underworld to "make it big" someday. Gradually he learns tricks of the trade and increases the gang's earnings and profits. This leads to his affinity with Malik (played by Ajay Devgan) who is the leader of the gang. However, both come at loggerheads during the execution of a contract killing.The contract was from a politician who tries to use Malik's gang to eliminate a front-runner, a contender for Home Minister's post. The rift between Chandu and Malik widens due to various misunderstandings. The Commissioner of Police, Sreenivasan (Mohanlal) makes use of the rift to bring the mafia under control. Chandu and Malik end up becoming bitter enemies. Both Chandu and Malik now try to eliminate as many members of each other's gang as possible. This ends up starting an intense gang war.This results in an intense chase sequence shot in Kenya where Malik hires hitmen to kill Chandu.However Chandu survives, though he is injured severely.Sreenivasan convinces Chandu to come back to Mumbai and fight his war with Malik by helping the police bring the mafia under control. The film features one cold blooded murder scene wherein Malik and Chandu kill Saeed and his brother Anis in the rear seat of the car on a chilling rainy day. Thereafter Malik goes on a bloody rampage killing all his opponents, so as to take the reins of underworld in his hands. They include his rival gang leader and colleague under Aslam's umbrella Sharma, who was in a meeting with police inspector Rathod, also killed off. The film reaches its climax when Chandu kills the politician (the mastermind of the contract killing) within the prison. At the same time, one of Chandu's aides shoots Malik point blank. The film ends, showing Chandu spending the rest of his life in prison after being persuaded by the Police Commissioner to surrender.
