The film follows the life and tragedy of a young boy named Altaaf after his entire family is accidentally killed by police officers. He is adopted by the police chief who is responsible for this, and when Altaaf finds out, he seeks revenge and becomes a terrorist. Sanjay Dutt, Hrithik Roshan, Preity Zinta, Sonali Kulkarni, Jackie Shroff and Mohsin Memon appeared in the main roles. The film also deals with terrorism and the tragedy of children suffering from war. Its screenplay was written by Pulitzer Prize finalist Suketu Mehta. It was rated R in America due to violence. Inayat Khan (Sanjay Dutt) is the Senior Superintendent of Police responsible for the security of Srinagar, Kashmir. One day, his young son Irfaan (Yogin Soni) met an accident and is taken to a hospital, but due to a fatwa instigated by Malik Ul Khan (a leader of a terrorist group) forbidding doctors to treat policemen, the doctors refuse to treat Irfaan. Even when Khan angrily threatens to kill the doctors if they don't treat his son, the doctors still refuse by saying they are willing to die rather than letting their families suffer Malik Ul Khan's wrath. Irfaan dies to his injuries, and Khan personally swears to put an end to the threat of Malik. After finding out that Malik and his men are taking refuge in the village of Dalgate, Khan and his men manage to attack and kill all the terrorists. Unfortunately, a family is caught in the crossfire and end up being killed by accident. A young boy named Altaaf (Mohsin Memon) is the only family member who survives the shooting as he is severely traumatized by his parents and sister's deaths and haunted by the memory of the masked policeman (who is Khan himself) before falling unconscious. Altaaf is then jailed by Khan's men, who end up being berated by an angry Khan for placing an innocent boy in jail. Khan's wife Neelima (Sonali Kulkarni), feeling sorry for Altaaf, attempts to persuade Khan to adopt Altaaf. Despite fearing that Altaaf may one day discover the truth and get revenge for it, Khan reluctantly agrees as he is wracked with remorse for killing Altaaf's family. The plans of Mission Kashmir are revealed to the public by the media, and the terrorist sponsor's hideout is found by Kashmiri police, who shoot the sponsor as he tries to get away after killing two of his associates. Altaaf wakes up from a pleasant dream based on one of the pictures he drew as a child in Khan's house, where he reconciles with Sufiya and forgives Khan, accepting the latter as his father again after 10 years.
