Synopsis:-
In the opening scene, Siddhant Dheer (Sanjay Dutt), the head of the
Anti-Terrorist Cell (a fictitious organisation), narrates how rampant
terrorism has become in the world and goes on to tell the story of 7
hardest days in his life. The ATC has a tip off about an impending
terrorist attack on the 10th May, targeting 20-25 thousand people. The
man behind the plan is one Jamwaal, a Keyser Söze who is feared by
politicos and the law alike. The only piece of information, known about
the impending attack is the codeword "JEET". Siddharth starts an
unofficial investigation against Jamwaal. A goon named Altaf is arrested
in connection to the case.
Later, a woman is shot dead in her own home by an unknown assailant.
Siddhant gets a tip from Neha, an undercover officer stationed by him in
Canada, that an aide of Jamwaal named Himmat Mehendi has been arrested
by the Canadian police. He sends his brother Shashank (Abhishek
Bachchan) and another colleague, Aditya (Zayed Khan) to grab Himmat,
take him to a safe location pointed out by Neha and extract information
from him about Jamwaal. After attending his sister Anu's (Diya Mirza)
wedding, Shashank and Aditya head to Canada on the same day. At the same
time, Anu and her husband are kidnapped in lieu of Altaaf's release.
Siddhant, then realizes that there is a mole in the ATC itself.
Meanwhile, in Canada, Aditya and Shashank team up with Neha (Esha
Deol) and a local cop named Dan (Suniel Shetty) and kidnap Himmat, who,
at first, claims to them that he is "JD", but breaks down and tells them
that everybody working for Jamwaal is a pawn who doesn't know his
identity. He claims that he does not know anything else and the quartet
realize that Himmat is too scared of Jamwaal to be entirely plausible.
They then stage an attempt on Himmat's life and a scared Himmat informs
them that the only people who pose any real danger to Jamwaal are Aasif
and Irfan, his once friends turned foes, who betrayed him to foil his
plans. Himmat tells them that he knows where Aasif might be.
The quartet turn up at a disco, Irfan's supposed hideout, with Himmat
and question Aasif. Aasif merely gives them Irfan's whereabouts and
commits suicide. This leads the group to realize that Irfan himself is
Jamwaal. They confront Irfan, and after killing his goons, kill him too.
In India, Siddhant prepares a trap to rescue Anu. Anu's husband dies,
but Anu is saved and the mole, Roy, is detained and commits suicide
instead of suffering the indignity of going to prison. An enraged
Siddhant learns from Altaf that the latter had been hired by Jamwaal to
kill Aasif and Irfan in Canada before his arrest since they were the
only people who could foil Jamwaal's plans for the 10th of May. Siddhant
decides to go to Canada, while his colleague and love interest, Aditi
(Shilpa Shetty) decides to use Altaf as a bait to track down people in
league with Jamwaal. As a result, many high profile individuals and
politicians are exposed.
In Canada, Himmat is set free. Shashank decides to propose to Neha
and goes to her house along with Dan and Aditya. However, they find the
house suspiciously empty and dark. Suddenly, they hear the footsteps of
an intruder and confront him. They are shocked to find that the intruder
is Siddhant, who tells them that Neha had been murdered a long time
back. Now, it is revealed that the woman who was shot to death earlier
was actually Neha. Siddhant explains that Jamwaal had Neha killed and
replaced a fake Neha, since he had had prior information to Aditya and
Shashank's arrival in Canada (possibly from Roy). The day Altaf was
arrested, Jamwaal suffered an accident and was arrested in a "drunk and
driving case". The real Neha, who had been following them at that point,
only knew the real Himmat Mehendi, who had been killed by Irfan shortly
after that event. Further more, Jamwaal had wanted to kill his former
friends as they could foil his still unknown plans. But when Altaf, his
hired gun, was arrested by ATC, and even he was arrested while being
assumed to be Himmat Mehendi, he kept the misunderstanding going and
conned Aditya, Shashank and Dan to do what he had wanted Altaaf to do,
thus making his coast clear. This leads to one shocking reality- The
person that the group had assumed to be Himmat Mehendi was the real
Jamwaal and that he had made four officers from two nations dance to his
tune.
Still clueless about Jamwaal's plans, the quartet, once again,
focuses on "JEET". Siddhant realizes that every letter in the word had
something to do with its position in the English alphabet (e.g. J is 10,
E is 5 & T is 20). Dan gives him information that on the 10th of
May, a football match was going to take place at a nearby stadium, the
chief guest of which was the Prime Minister of India himself.
Realizing that this stadium will be bombed on the fateful day at 5
o'clock, the quartet turns up at the stadium and splits up. Siddhant is
captured by the guards, who were in on the plan. Aditya finds the bomb
on a car whose registration number ends with the number 20, thus
explaining the meaning of the letter T in the word JEET. He drives the
car outside the stadium while. Shashank finds another bomb of the same
size and takes it to a nearby flying club, where he runs into the fake
Neha, who confesses that she has fallen in love with him. They load the
bombs into a small plane, with Shashank deciding to dispose the bomb off
at a deserted area, away from city limits. Dan enters the stadium by
another route, only to end up being taken hostage along with his
estranged wife and some school children.
Dan somehow rescues his wife and the children, while Siddhant manages
to escape and kill some goons despite being temporarily blinded. As
both head to different directions to find Jamwaal, the latter is
informed by his men that both the bombs have been taken away and that
the mission has failed. Jamwaal tries to escape from the building, only
to run into Siddhant. As Siddhant doesn't know him, Jamwaal nearly
succeeds in escaping by pretending to be someone else, but Siddhant
calls him on his bluff. Here, Shashank realizes that he has too little
time to dispose off the bomb safely and decides to crash the plane along
with himself and the fake Neha, much to Siddhant's anguish. He bids an
emotional farewell to the others and then crashes the plane into a
nearby lake. Meanwhile, Aditya also faces the same plight.
Siddhant is distraught by the turn of events. Dan has called for
help, with which he succeeds in rescuing Aditya just moments before the
jeep explodes in a valley. Jamwaal tries to escape, but is tracked down
and shot dead by Siddhant in an elevator. The film ends as Shashank's
ashes are immersed in the river. Siddhant surmises that everything had
returned to normal after those 7 days, which were the most difficult
days in his life. But he had lost his brother forever, somewhere in the
sands of time.
