The plot

The film begins with a raid on a drug warehouse by a team of police officers led by Inspector Bejoy (Vikrant Massey). They confiscate a huge amount of cocaine and lock it up in a secret location. However, they soon realize they have been poisoned by the drug lord, who wants his stash back. The only antidote is available at a hospital 300 km away and they have only a few hours to reach there before they die.

Meanwhile, Bholaa (Ajay Devgn), a former gangster who has spent 10 years in jail for killing a corrupt cop, is released on parole. He wants to meet his daughter, whom he has never seen before. He gets a call from his friend who tells him that his daughter is at an orphanage near the hospital where the police officers are heading. Bholaa decides to go there and meet her.

On his way, he encounters Bejoy and his team, who struggle to find a vehicle to transport them to the hospital. Bholaa agrees to help them in exchange for some money and drives them in his truck. However, he soon realizes that he has become a target of the drug cartel, who are chasing them with guns and bombs. A nail-biting chase sequence follows that keeps the audience on the edge of their seats.

Ajay Devgn delivers a stellar performance as Bholaa, the tough and fearless protagonist with a soft spot for his daughter. He carries the film on his shoulders with his charisma and action skills. He also shares a good chemistry with Vikrant Massey, who plays the honest and brave cop Bejoy. Massey does justice to his role and proves his versatility as an actor.
