Plot[edit]

Jai Agnihotri (Salman Khan) is an ex-army officer who is short-tempered and passionate about helping citizens and fighting criminals. He was a major in the Indian Army, but was suspended after he ignored orders from his superiors to rescue a group of children from terrorists. After this incident, Jai moved in with his mother and sister Geeta (Tabu).

One day, Jai is unable to help Suman, a physically disabled girl (Genelia D'Souza), take an examination while her brother Rohan (Vikas Bhalla) was stuck in a traffic jam. A depressed Suman commits suicide. Jai is greatly disturbed by this incident. With Suman's death fresh in his mind, Jai creates a system that would encourage citizens to help each other. Each day, citizens are to help three people. These three people would in turn help three more people, and so on. Jai believes that this network would foster kindness and a sense of community among the citizens. His system, however, faces challenges.

On one occasion, for one of his daily good deeds, Jai loses his temper and beats a rich man who had injured a child beggar. In an act of revenge, the rich man employes some men to kidnap Jai's sister Geeta and friend Rinky. Jai is able to save his sister and friend, but injures one of the captors in the process, who happenes to be the henchman of a member of the Legislative Assembly named Patil. Patil is the son-in-law of the Home Minister Dashrath Singh.

The Home Minister is not pleased that Jai has injured one of his sons-in-law's henchmen. He attempts to avenge this injury by kidnapping Jai's nephew. The Home Minister loses his son-in-law in the process. The Chief Minister, Ashok Pradhan, meanwhile finds out about Jai's system after his own life is saved by a schoolgirl performing her good deeds for the day. The Chief Minister decides to intervene in the dispute between the Home Minister and Jai in an attempt to put an end to their fight. The Home Minister does not appreciate this intervention. He attempts to kill the Chief Minister and frame Jai. Jai, however, is able to save the Chief Minister.

The Home Minister's son, Arjun Singh, and his hired men attack Jai. Jai kills Arjun, but not before he is severely injured after getting stabbed by the Home Minister's daughter, Kavita Singh Patil and Jai stabbing her to her stomach. A rickshaw driver and Jai's former colleague, Arjun Kaul, together help Jai get to the hospital. While Jai is at the hospital, the Home Minister spreads rumors that Jai had attempted to assassinate the Chief Minister. Once the Chief Minister recovers, he reveals that it was the Home Minister and not Jai who was behind the attempted murder. Crowd beats the Home Minister after hearing the truth.

Doctors are able to save Jai. Jai has survived thanks to his own help-three-people concept. When Jai emerges from the hospital, he finds thousands of people waiting for him. Tamil kavithaigal in tamil language. Jai thanks them all for making his concept a success.
