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.
