Plot

Three top criminals — Devil, Fox, and Jackal — are given a gold medal for their bad deeds. They unveil their enterprise, where they import and transport explosives in children's toys.

Elsewhere, an unemployed Ravi foils an assassination attempt and intercepts the trio's stuff. He just happens to be the son of Jackal's trusted but clueless employee Rana.

Rana and his friend stumble upon Jackal's skullduggery and are about to turn him in to the police when the friend's son Shiva intervenes. Jackal and his friends kill all three, or so they think. They also frame the friend and his son Shiva in a terrorism case, insinuating that the duo killed Rana when he intervened.

Shiva survives, assumes the name Tony, and approaches Ravi to join hands to avenge their kin's death. Is the partnership forged? That's the story of the film.
