Plot[edit]

Following the brutal slaying of a call-girl named Julie in Mumbai, two police inspectors, namely Anil Kumar Sharma and Rajat Bedi are assigned to investigate and bring the culprit(s) to book. Anil and Rajat note that the killer leaves "2001" marked on the body of the victim. Anil learns that the man staying in Julie's room is a prominent Member of State Parliament, Ramaswamy, and would like to list him as a suspect. Julie's death is followed by more killings in the same style, and killed ones are Advocates Sarkari and Kajal, and a man named Krishna Rao. Then Ramaswamy himself is attacked, but survives and is hospitalized. When he regains consciousness for a brief period of time, he points an accusing finger at Rajat and then relapses. Not wanting to take any chance, Police Commissioner Malik places Rajat under house arrest. Then Anil comes across some evidence that links the killing to none other than Malik himself, while Rajat starts suspecting Anil and gathers evidence against Anil.
