This is the story of an underworld don, Shoaib (Akshay Kumar), who killed his mentor in the past (Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai) to gain supremacy and is now the ruling mafia king. His influence and power has spread right up to the Middle East, today. Shoaib is now a flamboyant, suave man who is feared and revered. Shoaib`s only confidantes are his best friend Javed, who oversees his empire for him and his former lover Mumtaz (Sonali Bendre) who is now his closest friend. He often visits the poor Muslim areas where he grew up and it is on one such visit that he meets Aslam (Imran Khan). He takes him under his wings and gradually Aslam becomes one of his favourites. Shoaib wants to gain full control over Bombay and this is met with resistance from two existing ganglords - Vardha and Arun. Vardha and Arun join hands with a cop - Sreenu, whose only purpose in life is finishing off Shhaib`s reign, for which he gladly joins hands with the ganglords. While Bombay continues to be the object of their fancy, Shoaib stumbles upon a young actress - Yasmin (Sonakshi Sinha). He is immediately taken in by her freshness, beauty and candor. Slowly, but surely his attraction towards Yasmin goes onto becoming an obsession. This creates a rift between Shoaib and Aslam and results in the ultimate showdown between the mentor & protege.

RaghavShastri (Nana Patekar), an Insurance Salesman to the world, but a caustic, instinctively witty cabbie in reality, who needs thirty thousand rupees by the end of today. And Jai Mittal (John Abraham), the equally acidic heir to a resourceful business family, who needs a bit more. Three hundred crores actually. Also by the end of the day. Jai needs to contest his father`s will in court.. and Raghu`s cab to get there. Raghu needs every rich sucker he can get as passenger....So the two meet... And a predictable cab ride kicks off a roller-coaster journey that leaves you laughing in a most unlikely place.. the edge of your seat.. Because on either side of the seat that divides them are our two problems... Two attitudes, two egos, and two distictive brands of humour.

Taxi No. 9 2 11 focuses on Raghav Shastri (Nana Patekar), a cab driver in Mumbai who lies to his wife Sunita (Sonali Kulkarni) about his job (he has lost 23 jobs in 15 yrs because of his bad temper), pretending to be an insurance salesman. Raghav owes 3 months of taxi rent (Rs 30,600) to Tiwari (Shankar Sachdev).. One day, he gives Jai Mittal (John Abraham), the spoiled son of a late businessman, a ride. Jai is fighting for ownership rights of his late father's estate. The cab gets into an accident (Jai paid Raghav a lot of money to drive fast, since he was late for court) with Jai escaping as he's in hurry (and leaves Raghav to deal with the angry mob). Jai loses the key to the vault containing his father's will in the back of Raghav's taxi. Shyam Mittal (Akash Khurana), Jai Mittal's father was sick of Jai's casual attitude towards life. When Shyam died, Jai finds that Shyam left everything to his friend Arjun Bajaj (Shivaji Satam).. Jai had a court case that day and he was heading to the bank vault to fetch the will on his way to the court. His own car was wrecked in an accident the night before and hence he was cabbing it. Jai realizes that he the lost the key, when he gets to the vault. Jai returns to the accident site only to find that the police has arrested Raghav. Jai goes to the police station to demand his key back. Raghav decides to hide it from Jai. Jai is clueless and visits the vault again to get help.. Meanwhile Raghav is being transferred to another station and he encounters his wife on the way. Before she can see him, Raghav escapes from police custody. Jai returns to the station, frustrated, as the vault people wont do anything without the key.. He takes Raghav's address from the Inspector. In retaliation, Jai goes to Raghav's house and tells his wife what he really does for a living. Its 2 pm and Jai is already late for court. Sunita leaves Raghav, taking their son. Raghav decides to take revenge. Raghav and Jai vow to kill each other in their fight for their properties. When Raghav fails to kill Jai (He removes the nuts from Rupali's car tires, which she had lent Jai to try and find the vault key. Jai is stranded on the highway when the wheel comes off and narrowly misses an oncoming truck that plows into Rupali's car) he targets Jai's girlfriend, Rupali (Sameera Reddy). Meanwhile Advocate Shivraj Behl (Nasser Abdullah) and Rupali struggle in court to convince the judge that Jai is on his way. The judge gives a final deadline of 11 30 am the next morning to produce this "other" will according to which Shyam left his property to Jai. Jai and Shivraj conspire to send goons after Raghav to recover the key. But Raghav fights them off. Raghav then chases Rupali, when she leaves Jai's apartment, and she is saved by Jai by hair's breadth. Jai lets Rupali escape and he attacks Raghav. They have a dirty car fight but both survive, but Raghav's cab is destroyed by an oncoming train after its gets stuck at a crossing. Raghav goes to the vault and tricks the staff there to gain access to Jai's vault. He withdraws the will and goes to Jai's place. Jai returns to his apartment at night and discovers the will, torn to pieces and pasted on the wall of his apartment. Jai becomes depressed and lonely after his friends leave him. Rupali dumps him, indicating she wanted him only for his fortune. Jai tries to make a deal with Arjun Bajaj, offering to withdraw the case for half the property. But Arjun refuses as Shyam really wanted Jai to mend himself and make a life without Shyam's wealth. Losing everything that used to be precious, Jai realizes the hard-hitting life and starts respecting his father and his work. On the other side Raghav is caught again by police (when he goes to deposit the fees for his kids school) and taken to police station where his wife tells him his real character and problem within himself. Soon, he realizes his mistake. Jai, having realized the value of close ones, then bails Raghav out of jail. Raghav insists they have a drink and they go to Jai's house for one. They find out that they share the same birthday. Raghav gives back his will, which he had hidden in the sofa, and says that he had never destroyed it - the torn will on the wall is a fake. Raghav then goes to the railway station to stop his wife and son from leaving him, but arrives a little too late. He goes back home where he sees a birthday cake on the table. He feels that he is hallucinating, but gets a pleasant shock when he sees his wife and son standing there, singing him a birthday song (and finds out that it was Jai who brought them back). Jai confronts Arjun Bajaj (Shivaji Satam), the friend and custodian of the property of Jai's father, whom he tells that he has realized the value of life and does not want his father's property and takes a leave. Just as he drives out, his car collides with another car driven by a Woman (Priyanka Chopra), though initially both seem to be angry at each, later Jai apologizes and asks for her number, promising to pay for damages. The movie ends as both smile at each other and drive away; indicating a new romantic beginning.

A group of Indian prisoners from the Indo-Pak war try to escape the Pakistani army. On a mission to rescue them is Gaurav, the son of an Army Major who is one of the captives.

Indian Army Major Ranvir Kaul (Amitabh Bachchan) and some 30 of his colleagues were captured in Pakistan and held under brutal conditions for 33 years. The jail is headed by Maj Qureshi (Piyush Mishra), who does not like the brutal torture of the prisoners. Kaul attempts another escape (he steals a lighter from his torturer and uses that to light his guard's face on fire, when he was being transported between prisons) but is caught, beaten, berated and thrown back in prison. Eijaz (Aditya Srivastava) is the ISI officer in charge of torturing them. During the fracas one of his men does flee and through a sympathetic friend, Jabbar (Akhilendra Mishra), sends a letter home. Kaul's wife (Tanuja) and son Gaurav (Akshaye Khanna) petition the Indian Army but the General, though sympathetic, has his hands tied. He raises the subject and Pakistan will deny it and immediately the men will be shot; he cannot authorize Army action absent hard evidence (not just a letter); there are no other options. Kaul's son, Gaurav, sets off to find his father. he is not sure if Ranvir is still alive, but his mother is resolute in her conviction. Other prisoners include Naru (Ashraful Haque), Anand (Rajendra Gupta), Nayyar (Kamlesh Sawant) & others. Gaurav smuggles himself into Pakistan (By getting captured as a Pakistani dead person and is thrown across the border by BSF in a body exchange) (Gaurav travels by train but is recognized by a policeman from the India matchbox he carries. Gaurav manages to kill the policeman and continue ahead) and meets Jabbar and discovers (he captures an interrogates a guard from the first jail) that his father has been transferred to a different prison camp (Since the original prison was being inspected by the Human right commission), Saran Jail under the cunning and sadistic Sohail (Kay Kay Menon). Sohail hangs one prisoner who had tried to escape during the transfer process, on the day of their arrival at his jail. Radhika (Amrita Rao) is Jabbar's daughter and falls in love with Gaurav. Kaul meets another set of captured Indian POWs (Capt. Ajit Verma (Nishikant Dixit)) at this new prison. Kaul attempts another escape. One man sacrifices himself on the electric fence (Actually Ranvir had got the short stick, but his junior sacrificed himself to save Ranvir) as others go through. Sohail bemusedly sighs as the others, once past the fence, are blown up by the landmines (10 soldiers die in the attempt). Kaul and the remaining prisoners are again beaten and kicked back into their barracks. One of the prisoners, Khan (Sanjay Dutt), manages to evade the landmines (by jumping over the dead bodies) and escapes. Gaurav meets him accidentally, while Khan was being pursued by trained dogs and Pakistani military police and brings him to safety. Gaurav attacks a military courier and, using his uniforms, infiltrates a Pakistan Army office block. Gaurav is caught by Eijaz, but Khan had followed Gaurav and saves his life. He steals a set of plans which reveal a water main under the prison. His father and the men can dig their way to this main and crawl out. With great reluctance Khan gets arrested again and tells Gaurav that the escape will happen in 10 days. Sohail correctly guesses that Khan is back for a reason. Khan discloses to Kaul that his son is here; this news, and the water main, is a great inspiration for the men. The men quietly begin digging a tunnel to the water main. They discover the body of an Indian Army Captain Jatin (Raj Zutshi) in the debris under the prison, but this Jatin is among them! Khan and Kaul realize that he is in fact a Pakistani spy. Gaurav and Khan had planned the escape for the night of the tenth and Jatin, the spy, had dutifully reported this back to Sohail. Kaul and Khan decide that the escape will happen on the ninth. Jatin is not told of this, but the men manage to send a coded message to Gaurav. The following day Khan notices the number 9 scrawled on an army supply truck entering the prison: it is Gaurav's reply. He will await the men near the water main outlet on the ninth. On the night of the escape the men overpower the guards (Ranvir stays out of the barracks as the men sneak in a dummy to maintain the head count. Then the major attacks the guards at night to steal the keys and rescues the men from their cabin) and kill Jatin. They enter the water main and begin digging away the last few meters of remaining debris. The knocking in the pipes travels up to Sohail's kitchen sink; Sohail quickly discovers the escape and hotly pursues the men down the pipe. Gaurav digs from the other side and, just in the nick of time, the debris is cleared, and father and son are reunited. The men make it through. One of them (Jatta (Raghuvir Yadav)) sacrifices himself on a land mine inside the water main which caves in and blocks Sohail. Rajan (Arif Zakaria) also stays back at the camp to fire at the Pakistani and prevent them from pursuing his comrades. Gaurav leads his father and the men to a railway line, but the train is delayed till morning. The men split up to avoid detection and arrange to meet at dawn near a border point village. They arrive at the border point, but Sohail and his men are in close pursuit. There is a firefight. Khan puts up a brave fight but is shot down. Ranvir Kaul and Gaurav and the handful of remaining prisoners finally get across the border in a Pakistan army truck. Sohail is right behind them, but his jeep is disarmed and he is surrounded by Kaul and the prisoners. Kaul points to the border line behind them; they are now on Indian soil. Kaul, now an Indian Army soldier, attacks and kills Sohail in hand-to-hand combat, and throws his body across the border. The film ends as Ranvir Kaul and his men are reinstated in the Indian Army and salute the Indian tricolor.
