Plot
After a treaty between India and the UK to expedite extradition of terrorist Omar Zafar to India is passed, Colonel Viren Nanda is murdered and burnt alive by Omar in London, during his escape from prison. Omar, who is escorted by his trusted lieutenant Hamid Gul, declares 5 million reward for an Indian thief to steal the Koh-i-Noor diamond, so as to uphold the treaty.
Later, a mysterious person named Rajveer steals it, and demands 20 million as Zafar and Gul aim to retrieve it. After a subsequent brawl with Gul's men at a local restaurant in Shimla, Rajveer visits a restaurant where he meets an ambitious but unassuming bank receptionist, Harleen Sahni, who is waiting for her blind internet date, Vickie Kapoor, to show up. Rajveer assumes the date and the pair fall for each other, but he is forced to abandon her after being found by Gul's surviving men. Harleen leaves upon learning the truth, but on her way back home, bumps again into Rajveer, who seeks her help to remove a bullet. Before leaving, he drugs her with a sedative water and informs her of scare tactics that some law enforcement officials will try and coerce her into working against him.
