Two soldiers, Amrit and Viresh, are on a mission to save Amrit's girlfriend, Tulika. She's being forced to marry someone else. Things get crazy when over forty goons, like a big family of bad guys, board the train to steal and kidnap. Amrit and Viresh try to protect Tulika and her family. The action is intense and bloody, happening all over the train. They also have to deal with Fani, a really messed up gangster.
