Inayat Khan (Sanjay Dutt) a police officer, responsible for the security of Kashmir. One day, his son Irfaan (Yogin Soni) suffers an accident and because of a fatwa (edict) of the leader of a terrorist group, no hospital treats the child and he dies. In order to wipe out the group of terrorists, Inayat Khan ends up killing an entire family along with them. Their young son Altaaf (Mohsin) is the only one who survives and so, Inayat adopts him. Altaaf only remembers Khan`s mask-covered face.

One day, Altaaf finds his step-father's mask and memories return: he realizes that it was his step-father who killed his family. After trying to kill him, Altaaf runs away and is brought up by a terrorist group. Now an adult (Hrithik Roshan), the terrorists want to use Altaaf to kill Muslims and Hindi in the Valley of Kashmir. He visits an old friend from his childhood, Sufiya Parvez (Preity Zinta), and though he falls in love with her, he still uses her to achieve his goal: For Altaaf, it`s an opportunity for his revenge.
