Colonel Suryaveer "Surya" Singh (Amitabh Bachchan) is a bitter man and ex-Army officer, hired by his friend and former comrade Captain Shekhar Verma (Arjun Rampal) (Shekhar lives in Bangkok and runs a strip club) to protect a little girl, Anamika R. Rathore (Rucha Vaidya), who resides in Bangkok, Thailand with her Non-resident Indian (NRI) family. Mother Nikasha (Perizaad Zorabian) & father Ravi (Vikram Chatwal). The family is wealthy and is worried with the spate of increasing kidnappings in the city. They are looking for an armed bodyguard for Anamika. Ravi hires Surya after he admits that he has a drinking problem. Surya promises to put his life on the line for the job. Kripa "Krispi" Shankar (Daya Shankar Pandey). an Indian, gives Surya information and goods & befriends him. Surya drinks alcohol frequently (he accidentally shot two children while serving as a soldier in the Kashmir Valley. Surya did this to save Shekhar's life and was captured by the terrorists. He was tortured for 3 days. Shekhar then mounted a rescue operation, took 2 bullets and killed 5 terrorists to save Surya), and is not interested in befriending the girl. Nikasha also approaches Surya and asks for a friend or Anamika, but Surya is rude to her and says that he will be a bodyguard and nothing else. Nikasha is offended and walks away. Eventually, Anamika wins Surya's heart and he helps her to prepare for a swim meet (Anamika was losing precious seconds as she was scared of the sound of gunshot. Surya helps her overcome this fear and beat the competition). Ravi and Nikasha leave for London for Ravi's business meeting. Anamika stays behind in Surya's care. Anamika and Surya bond, and eventually Ravi and Nikasha return. Nikasha is happy to see Surya close to Anamika.. One day Anamika gets kidnapped and Surya receives serious injuries (3 bullets on his body) in his attempt to prevent the kidnapping. ACP Harvinder "Harry" Singh (Akhilendra Mishra) is assigned to investigate the case. The kidnappers asks for $1 MM, headed by Wong (Rajendranath "Raj" Zutshi). Ravi delivers the cash as per instructions, but Harry intervenes and attacks when the cash is collected and shoots the cash collectors. In retaliation, Wong pretends to have shot Anamika dead. Shekhar breaks the news to Surya and wants him to go back to India for a few days. Surya gets to the airport, but cant board the flight. Surya vows to kill every person involved in the murder of Anamika. Surya uses his investigative skills, only to find out about the conspiracy that is behind the little girl's kidnapping. Surya works with Krispi to track the person (Lee Kap (Denzil Smith)) who originally picked up Anamika at the kidnapping location. Surya cuts off Lee's fingers post which he admits that he kidnaps targets on behalf of Sammy (Aditya Lakhia) and delivers them to Sammy's nightclub. Surya then shoots Lee. Bangkok Police Officer Inspector Kelly (Kelly Dorjee) knows that Surya has killed Lee, but offers to help Surya in his mission to bring down the kidnapping gang. Surya reaches the nightclub and figures that Sammy's nightclub was just a transit point to Wong, who was the caller to Ravi and Nikasha. Sammy also reveals that Harry stole the ransom money after shooting the cash collectors. Surya takes Shekhar's help and gets weapons. He tracks and attacks Harry in full force. Surya puts a bomb up Harry's ass. Harry confesses that he stole the ransom money, but it was only $0.5 MM and not the full $ 1 MM. He says Chang (Ravi's lawyer) had kept the money in the car and hence must have stolen it. Surya goes to Chang's house and finds many financial papers. Surya confronts Ravi next. Ravi engineered his daughter's kidnapping so he could receive US$500,000, without the knowledge of his wife, Nikasha. Anamika had kidnapping insurance for $ 1 MM, provided through Ravi's company. Ravi stole half the amount and deposited it in his personal account. Chang had promised Ravi that Anamika would be returned two days after her kidnapping. Surya gives Ravi the gun and bullet that Surya had used in a suicide attempt, so Ravi could commit suicide. Ravi shoots himself. Surya attacks Chang and learns that Wong is Chang's brother. Wong reveals that Anamika is still alive. Surya holds Chang hostage, while Chang's brother Wong holds Anamika hostage. When they come to exchange the people, Chang's brother reveals a great secret to Surya. Surya learns that Shekhar was all behind this (Shekhar runs the biggest kidnapping squad in Thailand). Surya kills Wong's men. A great fight between Shekhar and Surya starts. Shekhar is killed, and Surya spends the rest of his life with Anamika and her mother. In the end, Anamika (Lara Dutta) gets a new bodyguard and the film shows her during her swimming practice, with Surya and her new bodyguard (Abhishek Bachchan) 15 years later.

Nagya is regularly visited by his mom (Ayesha Jalil). and Jaggu by his sister (Aditya Lakhia), who wants him to appeal his death sentence. A documentary filmmaker, Chandrika (Juhi Chawla) comes to the jail to set a film about these three men, men who have committed a murder and how they or behave until the day they are hanged and what impact a prison system has on them personally. Mohan tells Chandrika that Nagya's murder was a mistake, Ishaan an accident, and Jaggu was planned and Pre-meditated (Jaggu is a lawyer by profession). The 3 men repeat the same. Jaggu thinks he is guilty, Nagya thinks he is innocent, and Ishaan is in between.

He sexually assaults another prisoner Malli, who is good friends with Ishaan. Ishaan wants to kill Gautam but is stopped by Nagya. Ishaan is worried to know that Gautam has sexually assaulted other prisoners before and infected them. Mohan expresses his helplessness as Gautam's brother is a local politician and a state doctor has certified that Gautam does not have AIDS. Ishaan tells Chandrika how his mother killed his father one night, when he tried to hit her after getting drunk (which used to be usual in his house). She served 3 years in prison before committing suicide. Ishaan has all plans to escape if his appeals in court do not succeed. At home, Chandrika's husband tries to have sex with her after getting drunk and blames her saying she is not attractive enough for him. Jaggu tells Chandrika that his date of hanging is set. He is looking forward to die. He asks Mohan permission to cook a grand meal for the entire prison on republic day. Nagya is hurt to hear that Jaggu will be hanged.

Next day Chandrika asks Ishaan 3rd time if he feels remorse. Ishaan says he knows he made a mistake but wants to be a free man. Chandrika says she has fallen in love with him and wants to help him escape (she gets him a small O2 cylinder). Meanwhile Mohan's deputy finds through his informer that Ishaan has a plan to escape. A search of Ishaan's belonging reveals that he has a map of the prison. He questions the guard on the cell and finds that Ishaan has bribed him to skip his name during roll call on republic day. The deputy allows the plan to go ahead and waits for Ishaan on the exit point from the prison at the nearby lake. However, Ishaan escapes in the food prepared by Jaggu (using the O2 cylinder for breathing), when it is loaded onto the truck to be taken for consumers outside the prison. He meets Chandrika at her house, at a predetermined date and time. He knows Chandrika that she doesn't love him and asks for the real story. Turns out Chandrika was the sister of the woman Ishaan shot that day at the bank. Chandrika takes Ishaan back to the prison at gunpoint, just in time to stop Jaggu's hanging. Ishaan tells Mohan that he escaped the bank after killing Chandrika's sister. On a road crossing, he pushed Nagya's wife and caused her death. He then went to Jaggu's house as he was man whom his wife was cheating with. Ishaan killed Jaggu's wife by throwing her down the stairs when she refused to run away with him. Jaggu came home and stabbed an already dead woman and blamed himself for her death. Jaggu and Nagya are released. Chandrika gives the money stolen by Ishaan to Mohan so he can continue his prisoner reforms system. Chandrika forgives Ishaan by saying that saving 2 lives was just payment in exchange of her sister and her kids death.
