Cash is a 2007 Bollywood action thriller film directed by Anubhav Sinha. It features Ajay Devgn, Suniel Shetty, Esha Deol, Ritesh Deshmukh, Zayed Khan, Shamita Shetty and Dia Mirza in the lead roles. The film was released on 3 August 2007.
The film opens with Danny (Zayed Khan) boarding an plane. A girl named Ria (Ayesha Takia), enters the flight, talking very loudly and rudely to a somebody on her phone, irrationally arguing as to why people should not travel on aeroplanes. She even mistreats the cabin crew and casually asks Danny to put something in her bag. Seeing an opportunity to talk to her as they are both alone in the business section of the flight, he introduces himself as Dhananjay Jumbevalkar and craftily manages to engage her in a conversation and they decide that over the course of the journey, he will tell her a story of three unique diamonds worth 200 carats each.
The story begins in 1836 where a miner in Southern India finds a diamond as he mines coal. The miner gives the diamond to his king, who in turn gives it to an English Viceroy. However, the ship in which the Viceroy is travelling sinks and the diamond, too, is lost at sea. Many years later, the diamond is found by a fisherman in Bulgaria, who gives it to the ruler. The ruler decides to give three pieces of the diamond to his three sons but one of them loses it by gambling, an Australian army officer takes the second piece and the last one is taken by a unidentified man, who steals it from him. Many more years later, the diamonds resurface again in 1994 where a gangster sells the two pieces to a man known only as Uncle. However, they are unaware that there was a third piece, which has surfaced only recently.
A businessman calls the Indian Intelligence Unit in Cape Town, South Africa, and asks for protection as he takes something valuable, most probably the diamond, from one place to another. Shanaya (Shamita Shetty) is assigned to the case. However, in transit, the diamond is stolen by henchmen working for a Chinese gangster. Their rival, Uncle, another influential gangster, wants all the diamonds for himself. One of Uncle's trusted aides, Angad (Sunil Shetty) had been shot and betrayed by the former into going to prison. Now, as he is released, he volunteers to steal the diamond for Uncle, who does not trust him. Angad meets his old partner Aditi (Dia Mirza), for the job and asks her to provide a team of the quickest, fastest and most unbeatable, thieves ever. Aditi decides to meet Doc (Ajay Devgn), the leader of a gang of thieves. Doc had been an engineer who specialised in making weapons. He has no real name or identity. Doc is also masquerading as Karan, a writer, who is Shanaya's boyfriend, with her being unaware of his true identity. The job Aditi tells Doc about involves stealing a painting from an art gallery and then delivering it to a yacht. The payment would be 4 million dollars
