Raja (JACKIE SHROFF) lives by his wits in a fishing village. He does not have much respect for God and this is a cause of conflict between him and his beloved Priya (MANISHA KOIRALA) who works for the church. Also Priya does not know that Raja works for some people involved in smuggling on the sea coast. But Raja is otherwse a helpful sort of person. When Jaya (SUDHA CHANDRAN) seeks Raja's help, he helps her to get a job with his brother Vijay (AKASH KHURANA) who is rich but uses his wealth to help the poor and needy.

Raja and Priya have a dream; of getting married and settling down in a house they can call their own. They decide to build the house but Priya protests when she discovers that Raja's source of income is not clean. Raja loves Priya too much to see her unhappy, he decides to go straight and earn an honest living. He is helped in his decision by ACP Doshi (AVTAR GILL) who is himself a very honest cop.

But Raja's changeover is seen as a threat to his accomplice Kevin Kekda (GULSHAN GROVER) and the corrupt inspector Kotak (PARESH RAWAL). Forces that had seemed harmless to Raja now frame him in a game of life and death. Raja is accused of murder and imrisoned. The hardships of prison are unbearable but even more unbearable is his separation from Priya, who is also being tormented. Father D'Mello (TOM CALTAR) and havaldar Shantaram (MUSHTAQ KHAN) do their best in protecting her from the evil intentions of the villains but only Raja can truly set things right.

Is Raja able to prove himself innocent? Is Raja able to discover the people who had framed him for a murder he did not commit? Is Raja able to teach these people a lesson?

Finally is he able to re-unite with his beloved Priya and prove her faith in God that there will be a MILAN?
