Uday and his friend Mohan aspire to become cops and serve the country, despite their unfavourable backgrounds. Raj Dutt Sharma, an honest training officer, sees potential in them and makes their dream come true. However, Uday crosses wrong kind of person in form of Inspector Shankar. Shankar's ego is badly bruised and he leaves no stone unturned to make Uday's life a living hell.
Uday (Vivek Oberoi) and Mohan come from poor middle-class families. Against their families wishes, the boys are hell bent on joining the police force. The duo aim to make it big solely on the basis of their abilities. Despite lack of any recommendations or leverages to make it to the police academy, luck smiles on them in the form of Raj Dutt Sharma, their training officer.
The duo too return his favour by realizing their dreams and making him proud. They soon become popular as no nonsense upright cops. One day, however, Kaveri (Dia Mirza) , who happens to be Uday's girlfriend, nearly gets molested by Inspector Shankar aka Encounter Shankar. Uday thwarts Shankar's attempts and beats him badly. Shankar swears vengeance on him and leaves. On learning this, Sharma tells that Shankar is an egotic, corrupt cop who uses his powers for all the wrong kinds of motives.
He reveals that on orders of Minister Deshmukh, a goon named Babu Kasai killed his rival. Sharma's wife Lakshmi was one of the many witnesses who saw the murder, but only she came forward to testify. Shankar, who was also on Deshmukh's payroll, barged in Sharma's household and killed Sharma's daughter in front of Lakshmi. After sending Lakshmi into shock, Shankar was promoted over Sharma, the latter was demoted and given the job of selecting officers for training.
