Six bank robbers trying to pull off the perfect heist discover one of them is an undercover cop.
On or about 12May00, a truck gets stolen in Los Angeles, and the Police bring in six men of South Asian origin for questioning. They are: Yashvardhan Rampal, known as 'Major' educated intelligent, unemployed, with an ailing wife who longs to return to India; Non-English speaking Jay Rehan, otherwise known as 'Ajju', a foul-mouthed, trigger-happy gangster; A out-of-work former nightclub bouncer, Marc Issak, whose girlfriend, Lisa, is a bar dancer, and who is known to get into fights due to his uncontrollable temper; A drug deal, Raj Yadav, otherwise known as Bali, foul-mouthed, womanizer, stutterer, and alcoholic; Bali's sidekick, Maqbool Haider, otherwise known as Mac; White-collared Anand Mathur, alias Andy, recently separated from his wife, Renu, and longing to get back together with his son, who he cannot get custody of due to financial problems. The six confer in a cell, cite woes that even though the Italians have their Mafia, the Colombians have their Cartels, but the East Indian criminal community is yet to forge a Bhai-type organization, resulting in their getting pulled-in as the usual suspects every time there is a crime involving a colored person. They plot to get back at the cops by robbing the American Services Bank, perhaps the only bank which has a majority of it's clientèle employed by the city police. They plan and carry out this caper quite successfully, but when they exit the bank, they find themselves surrounded by the Police. After a shoot-out, They do manage to escape and meet in a secret hideout, to not only share the loot, but also try and find out who betrayed them. Ajju abducts Police Interrogator, Detective MacQuarrie, and it is through him they learn that their informer is one of them - and they must find out his identity - kill him - then divide the loot amongst them and disperse. The only problem is the informer is not willing to come forward - and the gangsters end up suspecting each other and their respective motives.—rAjOo ([email protected])

Hindi Remake of "Reservoir Dogs".
The movie is narrated by Maqbool "Mak" Haider (Lucky Ali). Six men are detained by the LAPD and interrogated about stealing a truck full of laptops and its whereabouts. One by one, each of the 6 men are picked up from the streets and brought in for questioning. During questioning Ajju says that he doesn't know English.All six are detained for about a day, where their deep antipathy towards the police department, for arresting them without any apparent evidence against all of them, and just because the witnesses had seen a South Asian at work.
In their holding cell, sparked by Yashvardhan "Major" Rampal (Amitabh Bachchan) and elaborated by Jai "Ajju" Rehan (Sanjay Dutt), they all hatch a plan to rob the bank (American Services Bank), in which lies the funding for the Los Angeles Police Department.
Major argues that in America, Indians can never get a fair deal as they are the target of every police investigation every time something goes wrong somewhere. He says Italians have their mafia, Columbians have cartels, Chinese Triunes, and no policeman can touch them as they are hyper organized. Major says that Indians too must unite to create their own group and once they have money, police will not be able to touch them.Ajju reveals that he stole the truck (the one with the laptops) and splits the steal with everyone else. Ajju asks them all to meet him in his club called Niagara.
Everyone goes about their normal life after that, in which it is revealed the personal troubles all face. Marc Issac (Suniel Shetty) is a bouncer who hates the way his lover Lisa (Malaika Arora), a club-dancer, has to live. Marc gets into frequent fights with bar customers who leer at Lisa and try to touch her. Marc decides to rescue her from the club owner Cyrus (Gulshan Grover), by paying him the required money.
Ajju is a club owner who is facing his own problems handling the club and has to lease it out. He also has an ongoing spat with Marc about his girlfriend. Ajju doesn't believe that Lisa is worth fighting over and tells Marc that he is wasting his time with her, which Marc does not appreciate.Major has a sick wife (Rati Agnihotri) who he has to look after by supplying her with medicine and injections. Major tries to get funding from a bank led by Mr Adler (Sanjay Sippy), but is rejected as the bank would not consider dealing with someone of Major's background, although it is not specified what it is.
Anand "Andy" Mathur (Kumar Gaurav) is a young, intelligent, software engineer who is having problems with his job and is in the middle of a divorce and custody dispute with his wife. He is also jobless and has financial troubles. Andy makes money by hacking ATM kiosks.
Major knows that Andy is the most important member of the group as he is the only one who can hack the bank's computer system. Mak and Raja "Bali" Yadav (Mahesh Manjrekar) are two drug-peddlers who live off the street selling and buying illicit drugs for a drug lord. They first meet when Bali is being chased by some undercover policemen and meets Mak in alley where he is adjusting something in his car. He agrees to save him only if he splits his loot. They agree to work as partners on those terms from then on. Mak is an undercover cop.
After the six guys get released from jail, they meet up again to discuss the bank robbery. Andy believes the loot from the truck Ajju stole earlier would be enough to gain custody of his son, but when his lawyer tells him that the money is insufficient, he again goes back to the gang.The six characters meet on a hotel rooftop where they construct their plan and arrange for arms, ammunition, vehicles and gadgets. They do some reconnaissance around the bank. Soon they establish their hideout in a warehouse, and 2 days before the planned robbery date, Major reveals that the bank will be looted the next day instead of the day after as previously planned, to thwart anyone's hidden agendas.
On the day of the robbery, they meet unexpected visitors in a SWAT team waiting for them outside the bank. They are engaged in gunfight during which Mak takes a bullet for Major. They all escape and meet at their hideout; however, they realize that someone might have betrayed them to police and realize that the police might know about their hideout as well. Mak, who was hit, is not allowed to be taken to the hospital, and Major treats his wound with some alcohol. They all have verbal scuffle after which, Ajju, reveals he had kidnapped the Police Chief Detective MacQuarrie (Jeff Davies).
They interrogate him and get to know that one among them, was an undercover cop. This strikes terror among them and they all decide to bring the whole stolen amount to their hideout. In the process, they meet a number of surprises. Major finds out that his wife had died. Ajju befriends Marc and tells him to elope with his girlfriend. Marc finds out that Ajju was feigning his inability to speak English. When they return, they find Bali dead, killed by Mak because Bali was being inhuman in his interrogation of the Police Chief.
Ajju reasons that Mak is the undercover cop, but Major disagrees because he believes Mak saved him during the gunfight at the bank. Marc backs up Ajju and points his gun at Major. They all arrive at a Mexican standoff, as Andy retreats and runs away with the money.
The four of them shoot each other, after which Major apologizes to Mak for not saving him. In reply, Mak apologizes, saying he was just doing his duty as he is the undercover cop, and that he was the one who buzzed the cops at the bank to arrive.
Major realizes his mistake and shoots the already dying Mak in the head. Marc's girlfriend is shown waiting for him at the airport, and Andy is shown at the end driving off the highway pursued by a police helicopter, with Mak's voice narrating the story, leaving his fate to the discretion of the audience.
