DCP Raksekhar Azad (Raj) is an invincible cop with a great aim. He arrests a terrorist by the name of Khan. But Khan lands in a prison cell that looks cushier than the Buckingham Palace. However, this gets Raj promoted, and he is congratulated by none other than his father-in-law, who is also a very high ranking policeman. Then all of a sudden, Raj finds out that many policemen would like to see Khan go free. He discusses this issue with his father-in-law, and to his surprise, does not find any support from him. Disagreements and arguments ensue, and as a result, his father-in-law gets killed. The Police suspect Raj of killing him, they begin the process of arresting him, he runs away, while Khan is all set to get freed to do whatever he likes.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Sunny Deol's peak 'angry cop' era—he played nearly identical roles in five films between 2000-2002, and critics still couldn't stop watching.
The father-in-law as villain twist subverts the traditional 'sasur' respect in Indian cinema—rarely is the patriarchal figure this irredeemable.
