- Beera Munda (Abhishek Bachchan), a bandit, jumps off a cliff into the water. His gang distracts the police and police vehicles are set on fire. Ragini Sharma (Aishwarya Rai Bachchan), on a boating trip, is kidnapped by Beera. Dev Pratap Sharma (Vikram), her husband and a superintendent of police, is informed of her abduction.
A montage showcases Beera's story. He is seen as a local hero of the town of Laalbati, who runs a parallel government, with his brothers, Mangal (Ravi Kishan) and Hariya (Ajay Gehi), and is considered as a Naxalite by the police. He kidnaps Ragini to avenge the death of his sister Jamunia (Priyamani). Ragini refuses to die at the bandit's hands and jumps off the cliff, but survives and Beera holds off her killing, as he sees it useless to kill someone who has no fear of death. Ragini is not afraid to stand up to Beera and his men. She is defiant and confident that Dev will rescue her. Beera brings Ragini to his village. His associates include a eunuch Gulabiya (Pankaj Tripathi).
Dev and his team enter the forests with the aid of a forest guard, Sanjeevani Kumar (Govinda), but they are unable to find Beera. Dev and his troops hunt and kill many tribal and torture them to get the location of Beera's hideout.. but nobody talks. Eventually Dev reaches Beera's village where he had stayed for some time with Ragini, but Beera had got the information and was able to proceed on further into the jungle. Beera comes across Rajeshwar Tiwari (Faisal Rashid), who was Jamunia's husband. Beera cuts off his hand and leaves him for being discovered by Dev. Ragini tries to escape captivity, but is captured by Beera. Beera is clearly attracted to Ragini, and she is super conscious when Beera wont touch her inappropriately.
Dev finds the mole in his team Ranjit (Manoj Mishra), who was passing information off to Beera and keeping him one step ahead. Dev forces Ranjit to take him to Beera, but the tribal get over the convoy trucks and put sugar into the fuel tanks, due to which the trucks break down in the middle of a dense jungle. Beera and Mangal infiltrate the police tents when Dev is not present and come upon Inspector Hemant (Nikhil Dwivedi), Dev's junior and his assistant. They kidnap Hemant, take him to their hideout and bury him in the ground with only his head sticking out.
Ragini discovers Hemant in this condition and reproaches Beera and Mangal for such inhuman acts. Beera tells the story of his sister's death; Dev had led an encounter against Beera during Jamunia's wedding. Dev's spots Beera and shoots, but the shot only grazed Beera in the neck. Beera escaped, but Hemant captured and took Jamunia to the police station. She was kept in police custody all night and was serially forced upon by several policemen, when she refused to reveal Beera's whereabouts. The next day, she committed suicide by drowning in a nearby well. Hearing Beera's story, Ragini feels sorry for him. Then Beera reveals his feelings to Ragini, but she is still devoted to Dev. Beera sends Hemant back to Dev, alive.
Sanjeevani Kumar sneaks into the place where Ragini is kept. He tells her of Dev's search for her, but Mangal comes from behind and captures Sanjeevani. He is taken as a prisoner in front of Beera and tells him to return Ragini to Dev, or be responsible for the destruction of his people. Beera bluntly refuses the advice. Hariya convinces Beera to allow him to offer a truce to Dev. He goes with Sanjeevani to their camp. Dev initially agrees to meet Hariya and talk truce, but when Hariya comes out in the open, Dev kills him, revealing that the destruction of Beera is more important to him than saving his wife.
Enraged at his brother's death, Beera sets the police tents on fire in an ambush attack with his gang. Dev and Beera come face to face for a final confrontation on an old mountain bridge. Dev fights Beera with brute force, but Beera outwits him. Beera saves Dev from falling to his death because his wife was waiting for him. Beera releases Ragini and she and Dev re-unite. However, Dev yells at an invisible Beera, vowing to return and destroy him.
While on their way home, Dev accuses Ragini of infidelity (She was with Beera for 14 days and 14 nights. He wants her to take a polygraph test) and claims it was Beera who told him of it. Infuriated, Ragini leaves Dev to meet Beera through Mangal. They however realize Dev lied (Beera only said that he can kill Dev for the sake of Ragini and can save him for the same reason), hoping Ragini would lead him to his hideout. Dev appears with a police team and confronts the duo, reminding Beera of his vow. Ragini stands in front of Beera to save him, but Beera pushes her out of the line of fire and is shot multiple times. Ragini tries to save Beera with all her might, but Beera falls off the cliff to his death with a smile.
