DCP Anant Shrivastav, along with his team Shekhar Sachdev and Ashwin Gupte, have been assigned to escort dangerous terrorist and ISI agent Iqbal Ansari from Chandigarh to Mumbai. But there is an unseen enemy who does not want this group to reach Mumbai.
It started as a routine mission to escort hardened terrorist and ISI agent Iqbal Ansari from Chandanghad to Mumbai. It ended as a nightmare. The first escort team of police officers was ambushed midway, blown to bits. But a brave officer managed to ensure that Ansari did not escape. Now another team was being sent to do this job from Mumbai. DCP Anant Shrivastav "The Professor". A Police officer in the winter of his career, a failure in the establishment's eyes and more important, in his own. Now on the eve of his daughter's wedding, Shrivastav was being given this crucial assignment. This was his one last chance to do something. Make a difference. Sr. Inspector Shekhar Sachdev. Street-smart, brave, but rotten to the core. He didn't want part of any suicide mission, but he had no choice. Forced on the mission, he made his own agenda. Sub Inspector Ashwin Gupte. A young middle class rookie office on his first serious assignment, full of ambitions, hopes, values, good intentions. He was going to find out the hard way that there was a massive difference between training school and the ground reality of the harsh, corrupt and violent world out there. Three officers accompanied by two constables, now given the charge of escorting a dreaded terrorist, and a crucial witness in the case against him, from Chandanghad to Mumbai. A group of men all fighting their own demons who were going to confront some very, very real ones. Because someone out there didn't want them to get to Mumbai. A nameless, faceless enemy who lurked in the shadows, who was always one step ahead of them. An enemy who would do all he could to stop them. Whatever it took. A three day assignment would become a never-ending nightmare. An overnight journey would become a journey into a dark world of brutality, corruption, conspiracies and terror, a journey into fear. Where nothing was as it seemed, everyone was for sale and no one could be trusted.

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.
