Line 5:
Unfortunately, he falls for Pooja Mallappa, daughter of General Mallappa and an aspiring supermodel. Both hit it off almost immediately, leaving Anjali heartbroken and jealous. Observing this drama are Jai's enemies, who decide to take advantage of the situation. [[Hilarity Ensues]].
 
Essentially an Indian cinematic version of ''[[24 (TV)|Twenty Four]]'' with particularly good Bollywood Masala and the smallest helping of [[Fatal Attraction]] added into the mix. Noted amongst Bollywood filmgoers for [[Madhuri Dixit]]'s performance as Anjali, one of the most layered roles of her career and the only one that wasn't strictly heroic. Anil Kapoor was given the National Movie Award by the Indian Government for what was considered the best performance of his then-twenty year career.

Line 24:
* [[Indians With Iglas]]: Practically every character is either a terrorist or a member of the Indian Army. Anjali is the daughter of one of Jai's father's war buddies while Pooja is the daughter of General Mallappa.
* [[Insignia Rip Off Ritual]]: Jai's dismissal from the Army after being accused of treason has this. By the end of the scene, his shirt is in tatters.
* [[Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique]]: As mentioned above, this is essentially a Bollywood version of ''[[24 (TV)|Twenty Four]]''. As such, this trope is a must. Jai is both on the giving and receiving ends of the trope at different times of the movie.
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: Anjali in a slinky nightclub outfit and Pooja during one of the songs.
* [[Parental Marriage Veto]]: Slightly subverted. Jai's parents {{spoiler|want him to marry Anjali, but he has his heart set on Pooja}}. They don't do much other than object though.
