Jaan is a 1996 Bollywood action film directed by Raj Kanwar and starring Ajay Devgan and Twinkle Khanna. The film was Super Hit at box office. Jaan is loosely based on Jackie Shroff stater Hero
Inspector Suryadev Singh (Amrish Puri) is an honest and efficient cop in the city. He has a granddaughter Kajal (Twinkle Khanna), whom he has brought up after her parents were poisoned by his enemies, and whom he values more than his life. But Suryadev’s cousin Vishambar (Suresh Oberoi) is plotting the complete ruin of Suryadev, along with his wife and his brother in law Bhanwari (Shakti Kapoor) because Vishambar’s deceased father gives all his share of property, including a village Sundernagar, to Suryadev as Vishambar has married someone against his wishes. So Vishambar plans to kill Kajal, as then his revenge will be complete, and the property will fall into his hands since there would be no one to inherit it from Suryadev, which his son Nagendra can inherit. For this purpose, Vishambar hires Karan (Ajay Devgan).
Karan is a young and efficient man in need of money for treating his ailing mother in hospital. By rescuing Kajal in a fake kidnapping drama enacted by Vishambar’s goons, he wins Suryadev’s confidence.
Suryadev then decides to send Kajal to his village to stay with some relatives, along with Karan as her bodyguard, convinced that he will protect her from harm.
In the village, Kajal falls in love with Karan, but he does not reciprocate. He even tries to kill her on many occasions, but for some reason, hesitates from finishing her off. Finally he decides to tell her everything, but Kajal refuses to listen. She woos him till he finally falls for her. Interspersed between all this is Johnny Lever and his girlfriend with their hilarious acts.
In the meantime, Vishambar gets to know that Karan has fallen for Kajal, so he hires another killer named Dilavar to eliminate both of them from the village. They attack during a festive celebration and take away Kajal, with Karan chasing after them. Karan rescues Kajal, is attacked again by Dilavar and his goons, but he manages to kill them all, including Dilavar. After a brief period of separation in the wilds, both are reunited.
