DCP Anant Shrivastav aka 'The Professor' (Amitabh Bachchan) gets an important assignment on the eve of his daughter's wedding. The professor's police career has been a checkered one with more failures than successful missions to his credit. Now, past the prime of his life, he wants to do something to get his name in the history of good servicemen in the police records.
And the mission he is being assigned to is a dangerous one too. An ISI terrorist Iqbal Ansari (Ajay Devgan) has already made an unsuccessful escape bid while he was shifted from Chandanghad to Mumbai. The first escort team of police officers was ambushed midway, blown to bits. Now the onus is on the Professor to make sure that Ansari does not run away.
Along with the Professor on this mission is the clever, cunning, brave but corruptible Sr. Inspector Shekhar Sachdev (Akshay Kumar). He is an unscrupulous man who follows his own morality without the least bit pricking of conscience. Although he did not want to be a part of this mission, he was forced into it by his superiors.
And there is also Sub-Inspector Ashwin Gupte (Tusshar Kapoor), who has recently graduated from the Police training school and has never been on a serious mission before.
The team comprising of the Professor, Inspector Sachdev and Sub Insp. Ashwin, along with two constables, is given the charge of escorting the dreaded terrorist and a crucial witness in the case against him, from Chandanghad to Mumbai. And the trio set out on their journey, not aware of the danger that lies ahead.
For, there are people who do not want Ansari to get to Mumbai. And what could one expect if there was a traitor among the three officers. The Professor faces the daunting task and he is even willing to put his life on line to see that the he fulfills the mission assigned to him.
