Karan Rana (Sohail Khan) and Bindiya (Nauheed Cyrusi) are childhood friends and live with Karan's adopted brother Arjun Rana (Sunny Deol). Arjun was a street orphan, but was adopted by Karan's dad many many yrs ago. Karan's dad Suraj Rana was a don, but a kind man. He loved Arjun like a son and taught him the business. When he died, he left the business to Arjun. Arjun loves Karan more than his own life. On his birthday Arjun puts everything in Karan and Bindiya's name. Bindiya's father had sacrificed his life for Suraj and Arjun wants to repay that debt and favor on the family. Arjun looks at Bindiya as his own daughter. Arjun eliminates all threats to Karan ruthlessly and without compromise.

Karan's feelings for Bindiya are more than just of a friend; however, she is unaware of his feelings and falls in love with a sweet boy named Saahil (John Abraham) gradually. When Karan finds this out, he warns Saahil to stay away from Bindiya, but he does not and writes a love letter to her.

The next day, Karan sees the letter and then tears it apart. His friend Rony (Apoorva Agnihotri) humiliates Saahil about falling in love with Bindiya and being so poor. Saahil gets angry and tries to kill himself. However, when Saahil's brother Sanju (Sunil Shetty), who is a car mechanic (Sanju has a lot of respect for Arjun Rana and considers him his idol), finds him unconscious and badly wounded, he cannot control his anger and goes looking for Rony. However, when Sanju gets to the college, he sees Karan sitting down, wearing Rony's jacket with his name on the back, and starts beating him up in public. Karan is hospitalized when Sanju finds out that he has beaten Karan and not Rony. Arjun, a very powerful and wealthy gangster, wants to avenge Sanju for badly beating up his brother. However, Arjun is unaware of Bindiya's feelings for Saahil and Karan's for Bindiya. Bindiya does not have the courage to tell Arjun the truth, but tells him that she is afraid that he will take action without knowing the full truth about what happened and why..

Arjun is the godfather of the slum where Sanju lives. This slum was established by his father Suraj. Arjun begs the slum leaders to hand over Sanju to him, but they refuse. They tells him that Sanju's brother was also injured and they have a responsibility towards him as well. In response the entire slum is set on fire. Saahil is angry at Sanju and says that he could have also beaten up Karan, but didn't because he knew that the outcome would have been the destruction of the slum. Saahil berates Sanju of being selfish and never thinking of the consequences of his actions. Saahil tells Sanju to give up his violent ways. Sanju hands himself to Arjun and tells him that Arjun misused his power to punish the entire slum for the mistake that Sanju made (of beating up Karan instead of Ronny) (Arjun is shocked to know that his men disobeyed his orders and set fire to the slum). Arjun orders that the slum being rebuilt, but wants Sanju to bear the same pain inflicted on Karan. Sanju is beaten up badly by Arjun'a men and thrown back in the slums. Saahil apologizes to Sanju and decides to leave Bindiya.

One month later, Saahil starts working in a cafe after leaving college and his education. Bindiya tries to meet Saahil everyday, but he escapes every time, but soon, Bindiya and Saahil fall in love again (Karan approaches Saahil and says that despite taking the hit and not retaliating, everyone only sympathizes with Saahil). Sanju also approves of her fully knowing that Bindiya is Arjun's daughter. Meanwhile, Karan returns from the hospital and decides to meet Arjun and tell him about his love. Arjun is happy to know that Karan is in love and encourages Karan to throw a party and invite his love to it. Bindiya promises Saahil to meet him at 9 am after that party. when Bindiya doesn't show up, Saahil goes to the party venue. That night, Rony challenges Saahil for a fight. Saahil beats up Rony brutally. Saahil finds out that Karan took Bindiya to a different location, all alone.

Meanwhile, Karan proposes to Bindiya. Karan calls Arjun and says that Bindiya is his love and she loves him back (he lies). She tells him that she considers Karan as a best friend but loves Saahil. Karan becomes furious.

After beating Rony, Saahil finds out the location and takes his gun to kill Karan. Saahil's friend takes Ronny to meet Sanju to tell him what happened and Sanju enters Arjun's bungalow to tell Arjun about Karan's reality. He beats up all his goons. Arjun cannot control his anger and starts beating up Sanju. Rony then comes to Sanju's aid and confirms the truth about Karan to Arjun. Ronny tells Arjun that Bindiya does not love Arjun, she loves Saahil. At the same time Bindiya calls Arjun on his mobile, and Arjun hears first hand how Karan tries to bully Bindiya into marrying her. Karan's love turns to a deadly obsession, and he forces Bindiya to marry him on the spot. He finds out that Bindiya had called Arjun and that he is coming to rescue her.
