Plot

The story begins two Indian Secret Service agents, Ajay Saxena and his close friend and colleague, Abdul Hussain. They share a brotherly bond and are dedicated to their work. Their chief assigns Abdul a critical mission: to take charge of "Project M," a top-secret project involving India's newly developed missile technology. Meanwhile, Ajay goes on a vacation to Switzerland.

In Switzerland, Ajay meets a beautiful woman named Anju, and the two fall in love. Their romance is a brief respite from the dangerous world Ajay inhabits. However, his vacation is cut short when he receives a tragic call.

Upon his return to India, Ajay is devastated to learn that Abdul has been killed, and the highly confidential Project M file has been stolen. The chief assigns Ajay the daunting task of not only recovering the file but also finding and apprehending the culprits responsible for Abdul's death.

Ajay's investigation leads him to Bangalore, where he is surprised to find that Anju also lives there. She is the daughter of a wealthy businessman named Brij Mohan, also known as BM. As Ajay's investigation deepens, he begins to uncover a dark and complex conspiracy.

Ajay's romance with Anju is put to the test as he realizes that her father, Brij Mohan, may be connected to the masterminds behind the theft of the secret file. The villains, led by a formidable figure named Luka, are now determined to eliminate Ajay just as they did Abdul.

The film introduces another key character, Nisha Bachani, a young and daring woman who initially appears to be a separate element. However, she is revealed to be a secret agent working for the villains, tasked with keeping an eye on Ajay and his movements. Her entry creates a love triangle of sorts, adding to the tension as she constantly tries to hinder Ajay's progress.

As the story reaches its climax, Ajay finds himself navigating through a series of dangerous encounters and action sequences. Nisha has a change of heart after realizing the full extent of the villains' "sins." She switches sides and helps Ajay, but her redemption is short-lived as she is killed.

With the loss of both Abdul, Ajay is fueled by a burning desire for vengeance. He faces Luka and his gang in a final confrontation.
