Major Arun Khanna (Deol) is an army officer for the Indian army. He sets up a spy network, with the objective of getting information regarding terrorist activities across the border. Reshma (Preity Zinta) who is from the same village becomes a part of this network. Major Khanna trains her for spying and during this process of training they both fall in love with each other. Reluctant as he is, he sends her across the border as a maidservant in Colonel Hidayatulla's (Deep Dhillon) house. He is associated with Isaq Khan and Maulana Azhar who are enemies of Major Khanna.

In the meantime, Reshma is exposed in front of Isaq Khan, Maulana Azhar and Colonel Hidayatulla. She manages to escape from them and comes across the border with important information. Major Khanna expresses his love to Reshma and proposes to marry her. The ceremony is cut short when terrorists attack the ship they are on. Reshma goes missing and Khanna is presumed dead.

Major Khanna finds out that Ishak Khan and Maulana Azhar were responsible for the attack. He fakes his own death, and plans to infiltrate their terrorist network. He follows them to Canada, where it is revealed they are planning to create a nuclear bomb. Reshma is revealed to be alive in Pakistan and in the care of one Dr.Salman. They take her to Canada to operate on her legs. Her doctor is Shaheen (Priyanka Chopra), who is the daughter of Mr. Zakaria (Kabir Bedi), who is an associate of Ishak Khan. Reshma comes to know that Khanna is alive and is in Canada.

Khanna changes his identity to a nuclear scientist Wahid, working at a well-known Canadian nuclear research organization. Wahid pretends to be in love with Shaheen, as he wants to become a part of Zakaria's group. He even marries Shaheen to win their trust. Reshma meets Wahid at the time of his marriage to Shaheen. Major Khanna is very happy on seeing Reshma alive but knows that now they cannot be together, so she leaves.

Major Khanna exposes Maulna Azhar, Zakaria and Isaq Khan's plan of getting the nuclear bomb. The Canadian government, the Indian government and the world comes to know that their plan has been destroyed by Arun Khanna. Shaheen dies whilst helping Arun. Khanna and Reshma finally get together.
