Plot

Divya (Manisha Koirala) and Karan Saxena (Sunny Deol) are in love and plan to marry. Karan has a younger step-brother, Vivek (Sonu Nigam) whom he looks after as if he was his own brother. Divya and Vivek hang out with quite a few young people of their own age, Vijay (Sunil Shetty), Atul (Akshay Kumar), Prem (Aftab Shivdasani), Ashok (Aditya Pancholi), Viktor (Sharad Kapoor), Abdul (Arshad Warsi), Nita (Rambha), Rashmi (Kiran Rathod), Niki (Upasana Singh) and Preeti (Pinky Campbell).

Two men named Rajesh (Rajat Bedi) and Madan (Siddharth Ray) attempt to rape Divya, but are stopped and beaten up by Karan. After apologizing, they decide to avenge their humiliation. Soon after, Karan leaves for a business trip abroad. Divya then begins to have premonitions of a past life and later learns she was the love interest of Kapil (Armaan Kohli), a snake with magical powers, in a previous life. Their love life was shattered by an angry sage (Amrish Puri) who cursed them with separation until the 21st century. Vasundhara, as she was called in her previous life, dies after this curse, and is reborn as Divya.

Rajesh, under the pretext of inviting Divya to Atul’s party, imitates the voices of the male members of their group and tricks her into coming to an abandoned fort. Divya arrives and they brutally rape her, prompting her to kill herself. Divya’s friends arrive and she curses them, thinking that they were involved in the rape.

Kapil learns of her death and comes back to life to get his revenge on everyone in the group. As a result, Madan is killed on the same day and Rajesh is later killed on his wedding night by Divya’s ghost.

This is followed by Victor being run over by Kapil on a motorbike and Abdul being electrocuted to death. Atul and his friends, with the help of their college principal Joseph (Raj Babbar), who is also a professor of parapsychology, summon Divya’s ghost and they try to reason with her, explaining that they had nothing to do with her rape and death, however she refuses to believe their innocence. The principal Joseph then gives the group of friends necklaces and assures them that they cannot be harmed when they are wearing the necklace. Atul doesn’t believe this. However, when he is attacked by Kapil, he realizes he survived because the necklace was stuck on his hand. However, later Atul is badly injured by Kapil and he goes into a coma.

Divya then enters Prem’s body and kills Ashok. Prem is thus accused of committing murder and he is sentenced to be hanged by the court. Vijay is pushed off a gym roof. Vivek, afraid he’s next, calls his elder brother Karan.

Karan arrives to rescue Vivek, but before that, Kapil stabs Vivek using Karan’s body. Karan is arrested after Vivek accuses Karan of stabbing him. Atul comes out of coma and tries to save Vivek. Atul gets stabbed by Kapil while trying to save Vivek. Kapil chases Vivek. Atul, unable to destroy Kapil or save Vivek’s life, goes to the same priest, who gave the lockets. Atul asks the priest to save Vivek’s life. Atul then dies due to blood loss from his injuries.

Karan shows up to stop Kapil from killing Vivek. Karan gets fatally wounded by Kapil. Principal Joseph resurrects Karan with outer-world powers, granting him supernatural powers like Kapil. Karan finally kills Kapil. Vivek turns out to be the only survivor along with his brother Karan. Kapil and Vasundhara reunite in heaven.
