When the dreaded International Mercenary Abrush (Danny Danzongpa) is trapped by the Army in a valley near the border, he retaliates by kidnapping a minister called Mishra (Govind Namdeo). Even as Abrush starts negotiations with Col. Hussain (Om Puri) for a safe passage, the officer sends in his crack team of para commandos lead by the highly decorated Major Jaidev Rajwansh (Anil Kapoor) to storm Abrush s hide-out and rescue the minister. Most of the commandos are ambushed and shot down. But yet Jai accompanied by just two surviving soldiers rescues Mishra and manages to capture Abrush. Because of his dare devil capture, Jai becomes a hero. Anjali (Madhuri Dixit) has been in love with Jai ever since their childhood. But Jai regards her as his best friend.
