Inspector Prabhat Singh (Sunny Deol) has been assigned the task of apprehending an elusive criminal don named Azghar Jurhad (Amrish Puri). Azghar's whereabouts are unknown in India, but after an investigation, he is traced to the African country of Kenya. Prabhat, accompanied by Akash Bhardwaj (Chunky Pandey), who is the only person who can identify Azghar, go to Kenya. Once in Kenya they are met with the Kenyan Police Inspector of Indian-origin named Surya Pratap Singh (Naseeruddin Shah). It is Surya's duty to ensure that Prabhat and Akash play by the Kenyan rules, and not break the law.
