The story is based in Vasco city of Goa 20 years ago. It is about two rival gangs -- One is "The Eagles" headed by Max (Shah Rukh Khan) and the other is "Bichhoo" headed by Prakash (Sharad Kapoor). Both the groups have literally divided the land where the rival gang's people are not allowed to enter. Prakash is into land grabbing. Max has a twin-sister Shirley (Aishwarya Rai). He is so possessive about his sister that anyone who dares to even look at her is bashed up and Shirley also enjoys her admirers being beaten by her brother.

Then comes Rahul (Chandarchur Singh) who is Prakash's brother from Mumbai to Goa. He falls in love with Shirley. As Rahul is Prakash's brother, Max does not allow Rahul to work in peace in Vasco. Rahul tries very hard to end the enmity between the two groups but fails. At first, Shirley does not respond to Rahul's love, but slowly she also falls in love with him. The problem multiplies when Max comes to know that Rahul loves his sister. He wants to kill Rahul. Some tragic incidents happen but the ending is happy.

The plot of the film is very thin. The highlights of the film are the powerful performances from most of the leading stars. Shah Rukh Khan is in full form. He has given an excellent performance. Aishwarya Rai in a tomboyish role without any makeup has done a good job. Though her role is not very lengthy, she makes her impression especially in the songs. And as usual she looks gorgeous. Chandarchur Singh as a good man in the film has also done justice to the role. Priya Gill as Max's lover has a very small role but performs well. However, the surprise packet is Sharad Kapoor. Being given a lengthy role and pitted against the talented Shah Rukh Khan, Sharad has done excellent work. He has proved that he is here to stay maybe not in a hero's role but in a negative role.

Another highlight of the film is Anu Malik's music which is foot-tapping especially Sailaru Sailare.... The songs are very well picturised and are a treat to watch. The action scenes are very well-conceived. Technically the film has been brilliantly directed. Though the film too, the director has managed to make the film look fresh. The second half of the film is pacy and action-packed. Worth a one time dekho.
