A voice-over by Inspector Robert D'Costa "RD" (Anil Kapoor) introduces the four main characters. Ranvir "Ronny" Singh (Saif Ali Khan) is a successful and powerful businessman who runs a ranch house Stallions in Durban and fixed many horse races using finest breed of Horses. His younger brother Rajiv Singh (Akshaye Khanna) is an alcoholic. Ronny is dating an upcoming model Sonia Martin (Bipasha Basu), while his personal assistant Sophia (Katrina Kaif) appears to be secretly in love with him. Ronny is also involved in a competition with his business rival Kabir Ahuja (Dalip Tahil), who is also a horse race fixer.
The film opens with a murder plot involving a car accident that Ronny narrowly survives. Ronny later kills his unfaithful jockey, who had been bribed by Kabir, and destroys Kabir when the latter offers to buy his company, which is in debt.
Rajiv drunkenly confesses to Ronny that he likes Sonia and would quit drinking for her. Ronny stops dating her and Rajiv and Sonia begin dating until, in a twist, Rajiv reveals that he knows of Sonia's shady past and plans to use her. His father had secured huge life insurance policies on each of the sons and he wants to kill Ronny and inherit $100 million in insurance payments. Sonia agrees to help in exchange for $20 million.
They pretend to get married; as per Rajiv's instructions, Sonia seduces Ronny, who confesses he loved her all along. Rajiv's plan is to threaten suicide, in response to Sonia and Ronny's affair by leaping off a tall building and get Sonia to push Ronny off. It turns out Ronny was aware of the plan as Sonia had been keeping him updated, having always been in league with him. They scheme to kill Rajiv.
Sonia double-crosses Ronny and pushes him off instead, saying she loved him, but the money was more important. As RD investigates the death, Sophia reveals that she was married to Ronny, leaving Sonia shocked since Sophia is now the heir to the insurance money. In another twist, Sophia was in on the plan too and is Rajiv's secret collaborator. Rajiv plans to bump off Sonia after he and Sophia get the money. RD figures out that Sophia had faked her marriage with Ronny and he had been tricked into signing the marriage certificate. RD confronts Rajiv and agrees to remain silent in exchange for $25 million.
Rajiv hires the same hitman who had attempted to murder Ronny in the beginning to kill Sonia, revealing that he had been behind the first murder attempt too. However, Ronny reappears and rescues her, killing the hitman.
Ronny confronts Rajiv and Sophia. He had overheard Rajiv discussing the failed murder attempt with the hitman and had been playing along the whole time so he could get the insurance money from his own faked death along with the insurance money from Rajiv's death. He allows Rajiv one last chance to win by agreeing to a car race. Ronny and Sonia show up in a yellow Toyota Supra and Rajiv and Sophia in a blue Nissan Skyline. When Rajiv protests, he switches cars with Ronny. Rajiv anticipated the switch and had destroyed the Nissan's brakes. In the middle of the race, Ronny tells Rajiv that he planted a bomb in his car and it will detonate if Rajiv slows below 100 kmph.
As the race continues, the two cars dodge obstacles. As they reach a parking lot, Rajiv attempts to cross a ramp, in order to overtake Ronny. This causes the Supra to crash into a caravan, topple over and knock into a petroleum tank, killing Rajiv and Sophia. After Ronny and Sonia narrowly escape death, Ronny confesses to Sonia that there was no bomb in the car and Rajiv killed himself. He also expresses his grief in realising that while he raced with honesty, Rajiv continued to deceive him until his last breath.
In the end, Ronny collects the insurance money from Rajiv and Sophia's death, along with the money from his own 'death'. He attempts to flee the city with Sonia but RD stops them. The two are revealed to be childhood friends, and RD was working with Ronny all along, in exchange for more money. Ronny gives RD a briefcase with a bomb. The bomb does not detonate, and Ronny explains that it was to prevent RD from killing Ronny and taking all the money.
Saif Ali Khan was offered a choice between playing Ranvir or Rajiv. He initially expressed interest in playing the latter. The producers informed him that if he played Rajiv, then Akshay Kumar would be offered the role of Ranvir. Khan finally opted to play Ranvir. Fardeen Khan was then signed for the role of Rajiv, but he later withdrew from the film, as he was committed to Heyy Babyy (2007). [4]

(CBS News) One of the five remaining teams on "The Amazing Race" narrowly escaped elimination Sunday night after one member needed 12 tries to master a short dance routine for a Bollywood movie. (SPOILER ALERT)
His heart was no match for the India sun and a relentless taskmaster. He was ready to give up after the 11th try when Bopper and the choreographer persuaded him to give it one more try "for their kids."
The 12th effort was the charm, but the two never managed to make up for the lost time and were last to reach the pit stop in what was later revealed to be a non-elimination leg of the race. This is the second time the Kentucky duo has gotten such a pass.
In unveiling the pit stop, host Phil Keoghan intoned that the last team to arrive there "may be eliminated" (as opposed to the alternate "will be eliminated"), giving viewers hope that fan favorites Bopper and Mark might be spared yet again.
But as the two headed for the pit stop, viewers saw a recap of the Kentucky team's entire race as Bopper said it was amazing that two guys from Kentucky managed to make it this far. Keoghan milked the moment as well, letting the two talk about their "Amazing Race " experiences before giving them the good news.
With all the drama concentrated on Team Kentucky, we saw little whining from "Big Brother" Rachel and almost no squabbling from Team Army and the dating divorcees Dave and Vanessa. But we did see the something of the icy chill that has arose between Team Army and the border patrol agents Art and J.J. over Dave and Rachel's failure last week to U-turn the "Big Brother" team.
On Friday, April 14, Doctoral candidate Bobie Bermudez Bonilla, Critical and Socio-Cultural Studies in Education, will give a noon talk on her CSWS-funded research, "Con Ganas: Latina Testimonios at an emerging Hispanic Serving Institution." Description: "My dissertation project focuses on the intersectionality of race, ethnicity, immigration status, language, and gender influence on students' educational trajectories. For the first phase of my dissertation, I conducted in-depth interviews with five Latina-identifying university students about the microaggressions they have encountered while attending a historically white university in the Pacific Northwest. In addition, I surveyed 80+ Latina students at the same university to analyze campus climate and how cultural community wealth (Yosso, 1995) has helped them overcome obstacles. These emotional written and audio testimonios will document the Latina educational experiences and help pinpoint what these students need to feel better supported at an emerging Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI)." Attend in person, 330 Hendricks Hall, or by Zoom.
On Friday, May 5, Doctoral candidate Olivia Wing, History, will give a noon talk on her CSWS-funded research, "'The Queen Who Will Reign': Chinese and Japanese American Beauty Pageants in 1950s Seattle." Talk description: "In the wake of World War II, young Chinese and Japanese American women in Seattle represented their local ethnic communities as they vied for the titles of princess and queen during the lively summer Seafair festival. Their participation reflects the delicate balance Asian women struck between demonstrating modern American femininity and cultural authenticity. They navigated racial and gendered beauty norms and strove to define Asian American womanhood for their communities and for the public." Attend in person, 330 Hendricks Hall, or by Zoom.
On Friday, May 12, Doctoral candidate Mushira Habib, Comparative Literature, will give a noon talk on her CSWS-funded research, "Can You See What I See? Affectively Gendered Bollywood Edition." Talk description: "My dissertation aims to establish affect as a perspective through which any literary and cultural text can be analyzed. I argue that our lived, embodied, and imagined experiences inform our affective engagement with texts, be it intimate or critical. In this paper, I close-read iconic Bollywood movies like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995) and Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (1999) from an affective gendered perspective. How I perceived these movies once as a young Bangladeshi girl is very different from how I (mis)recognize them today as an international woman of color in the U.S.A. These socio-academic migrational subjectivities are accompanied by my neurodiverse intersectionalities; all of which, together, make up my modes of engagement. Through my talk, I want to lead others to view or review these movies from my affective perspective(s) and thus demonstrate how affect can be a valid form of analytical practice and pedagogy." Attend in person, 330 Hendricks Hall, or by Zoom.
