Satyakanth Shastri (Mithun) is the righteous father, who adores his 'sanskari' younger son but disowns the elder, as he resorts to violence to fight injustice. They part ways and the ethical but short-tempered son grows up to become Boss (Akshay Kumar) - a contract killer who learns to laugh in the face of adversity. Do they reunite?

 'Apne ko kya hai, apne ko toh bus paani nikalna hain' is Boss Akshay's punch line in the movie. If you rephrase it a little with 'Apne ko toh bus Akshay Kumar ka stunts dekhna hai', then Boss is a 'kick-ass' entertainer. After all, we all know who the Boss of action in Bollywood is.
