Unwilling to stand idly by, Amrit and his fellow commando friend Viresh embark on a romantic ‘rescue mission’. But when the train is suddenly stormed by a gang of knife-wielding bandits, the stakes are raised significantly and the two friends must rely on their fighting skills to defeat the thieves and rescue the passengers.
