Plot[edit]
The film opens in London where Colonel Viren Nanda (Jimmy Shergill) goes to meet
a wanted terrorist Omar Zafar (Danny Denzongpa) in his holding cell. As Viren i
nforms Zaffar that he will be extradited back to India for his crimes, Zafar's m
en enter his holding cell, lead by Hamid Gul (Jaaved Jaffrey), murdering all gua
rds around them, with Zaffar then murdering Viren by burning him. As Zaffar esca
pes in a helicopter waiting on the roof, he puts a $5 million reward for someone
to steal the Koh-i-Noor diamond from the Tower of London, but with one conditio
n - the thief must be Indian, the main reason for this is to hold up a new extra
dition treaty between India and UK. Soon after, a man named Rajveer (Hrithik Ros
han) steals it, and when Zaffar's men are informed of the theft of the diamond,
they travel to Rajveer for the deal. Although they initially travel with the $5
million reward, Rajveer informs them that he now wants $20 million for the deal.
Following the disdain of the comment made by Rajveer, a fight breaks out betwee
n Rajveer and Zaffar's men after which Rajveer flew away. After Rajveer escapes,
a CCTV footage of him is captured showing that he is in Shimla. Following Rajve
er's escape, he sees Harleen (Katrina Kaif) sitting in a restaurant, who is ther
e waiting for her internet date, "Vickie", to show up. Rajveer enters the restau
rant posing as "Vickie" and woos her over. Rajveer convinces Harleen to use the
bathroom and whilst she is in there, Rajveer fights the remaining men and leaves
the restaurant, much to the dismay of Harleen. As she drives home, Harleen acci
dentally runs over Rajveer, who asks her to stitch up a gunshot wound sustained
during the fight. Rajveer then gives Harleen drugged water, with her complying w
ith what he says about the government officials, informing her about where to fi
nd guns underneath car seats and what they will say about him.
The next day, the government officials with Zorawar (Pawan Malhotra) get hold of
Harleen, telling her that they will take her to a "safe" place, something that
Rajveer said they will say before they kill her. Harleen then finds a gun, threa
tens the officials before escaping with Rajveer. Following the pursuit they ente
r a restaurant where Rajveer shows her the Koh-i-Noor, and as she comes to know
about Rajveer, they realize that they were followed by Zorawar who says he has t
he restaurant surrounded with his men and will not be afraid to shoot Rajveer if
needed to. As the officials convince Harleen to go with them, Rajveer jumps out
of a window with Harleen and escape.
Harleen wakes up on a beach wearing Bikini in a resort which is revealed to be o
