In Pakistan, a mysterious person is injected with drugs, where he loses his memory and becomes aggressive. The person’s aggressiveness leads him to get captured and imprisoned, but he escapes from the prison and manages to regain some memories with the help of Pakistani locals, whom he had met including a lollipop-selling kid, a weapons dealer and an ally Regina. The person learns that he is actually Arjun Saxena, an IRS officer. However, Regina gets assassinated by Martin, a notorious international crime boss who is known for his trademark of shooting and killing his opponents in the left eye.

Arjun contacts his friend Parashuram IPS and learns that he arrived in Pakistan to capture Martin. He tells Parashuram that he and his friend Vivek, an MMA fighter, are in danger from Martin. Arjun arrives in Mumbai through a cargo boat and arrives at Andheri Railway Junction to meet Parashuram, but he gets attacked and Parashuram is killed by Martin’s henchmen. Arjun tries to inform Vivek, who is in a MMA match, but he is also eventually killed. Arjun reunites with his friend Sathya and his fiancèe Preeti, where he learns that Preeti is also a target of Martin and plans to lure and capture him in Mangalore, using Preeti.

Past: While on duty, Arjun seizes an illegal shipment, containing defective and hazardous medicine from Mushtaq, who runs a pharmaceuticals racket. Arjun captures and imprisons his henchmen. Mushtaq seeks the help of Martin, who agrees to help Mushtaq in exchange for money. Martin frames Arjun for killing Mushtaq’s henchmen and gets him suspended, whilst also threatening him by killing Preeti if he tries to come after him again. Arjun interrogates Martin’s henchman Munna, with Parshuram’s help, and learns that Martin has left for Pakistan. Arjun arrives in Pakistan and interrogates multiple weapons dealers, with Shabnam’s help, to locate Martin.

Martin learns that Arjun is in Pakistan and kills Regina, telling his girlfriend to leave for Mumbai and kill Parashuram and Vivek. Martin arrives in an under-construction building, where Arjun is interrogating the dealers. Martin kills the dealers, overpowers Arjun, leaving a bullet mark on Martin’s body to prove that he and Martin are different, and sends him into a coma. Martin, while escaping, falls from the building and gets admitted to the hospital himself, while Shabnam takes Arjun to a safe place.
