Plot
Akhil owns a call cab service, who soon falls in love with a doctor named Siri Valli, who soon falls in love with Akhil as well. Sonu is a big-time hi-tech robber, who used to work for Siri's father and so he adopts her as his sister after their family falls into bad times. Incidentally, Akhil and Sonu are enemies. When Sonu realizes that Siri is deeply in love with Akhil, he asks her to put an end to their relationship and to never see him again. Siri goes to Akhil's house to find out why Sonu and he are enemies. Akhil reveals that Sonu's real sister Sasha had loved Akhil, but Sasha was murdered, which makes Sonu to suspect Akhil as Sasha's murderer.
Due to this, Akhil decided to live a normal life. The artist who's trying to draw a picture of Sonu, ends up drawing Akhil's picture. The police arrest Akhil, who also looks like one of the mysterious guys from a police surveillance video. According to the video, it is revealed that Sasha was murdered. Akhil lies to the cops that he's not in the video. The artist says that Akhil's not a thief. Sonu follows Akhil to the Biker's club. Akhil and Sonu realize that the Biker's club owner Mama is responsible for their robberies and Sasha's death. Sasha was at the club late, where she finds out that Mama's men are the ones who told them to rob the diamonds.
The goons planned to kill the trio (Akhil, Sonu, and Sasha) right after they succeed in the robbery. Sasha escapes, but the goons kills her and makes Akhil and Sonu believe that she committed suicide. After Sonu learns about the truth, he reconciles with Akhil, but Mama reveals he kidnapped Siri and tells Akhil and Sonu to rob the same diamonds which they were supposed to rob in Mumbai. They successfully rob the diamonds by blowing up underneath the truck carrying the diamonds (inspired by The Italian Job) and falling into the sea. Akhil dives into the ocean and retrieves the diamonds.
The cops chases Sonu and Akhil on motorboats. One of the cops shoots Sonu, who falls into the ocean. Akhil does not stop and heads over to Mama's place. Akhil gets a hold of Sonu, who was wearing a bullet-proof vest. Sonu, (who is alive) rushes to save Siri from Mama's clutches. Akhil and Sonu manage to kill everyone and keep the diamonds. The artist finally draws Sonu's picture, but the police don't believe the artist, and that the captain already got transferred to another town. Akhil and Sonu give a diamond to the artist to draw a picture of Akhil & Siri, to which the artist tells that he learned to draw in prison.
