era Munda (Abhishek Bachchan), a bandit, jumps off a cliff into the water. His gang distracts the police, and police vehicles are set on fire. Ragini Sharma (Aishwarya Rai Bachchan), on a boating trip, is kidnapped by Beera. Dev Pratap Sharma (Vikram), her husband and a superintendent of police, is informed of her abduction. A montage showcases Beera's story. He is seen as a local hero, who runs a parallel government, with his brothers, Mangal and Hariya, and is considered as a naxalite by the police. He kidnaps Ragini to avenge the death of his sister Jamunia. Ragini refuses to die at the bandit's hands and jumps off the cliff, but survives, and Beera holds off her killing, as he sees it useless to kill someone who has no fear of death. Dev and his team enter the forests with the aid of a forest guard, Sanjeevani Kumar, but they are unable to find Beera. Beera and Mangal infiltrate the police tents when Dev is not present and come upon Inspector H
emant, Dev's junior, and his assistant. They kidnap Hemant, take him to their hideout, and bury him in the ground with only his head sticking out. Ragini discovers Hemant in this condition and reproaches Beera and Mangal for such inhuman acts. Beera tells the story of his sister's death; Dev had led an encounter against Beera during Jamunia's wedding. Dev's shot grazed Beera in the neck.

Hariya convinces Beera to allow him to offer a truce to Dev. He goes with Sanjeevani to their camp.

Dev fights Beera with brute force, but Beera outwits him. Beera saves Dev from falling to his death because his wife was waiting for him. Beera releases Ragini, and she and Dev re-unite. However, Dev yells at an invisible Beera, vowing to return and destroy him. While on their way home, Dev accuses Ragini of infidelity and claims it was Beera who told him of it. Infuriated, Ragini leaves
