Plot

Colonel Pushpendra Batra, founder of Parakram SAF Academy, comes out of retirement and starts a civil training program due to increased terrorist activities. He promises the minister that if he fails in his mission he will return all his medals to the ministry. He chooses his three best special agents to carry out this program: Special Agent Karan Shergill, a very strict and brave commando; Special Agent Sanjana Dubey, a rough and tough commando and Special Agent Faizuddin Siddiqui, a cheerful guy who is committed to his country. The academy is in Deolali.

Dr. Monami Mahajan is kind-hearted and helpful by nature and has decided to join the training against her father's wishes. Her best friend is Siddharth Ganju, and they are quite close. She sees Karan, who is trying to stop Bala, a thief who has stolen his wallet, and picks a fight with him. The recruits arrive and Karan asks them to trek in the forest to enter the academy, thinking that the weak recruits will quit. All the recruits enter the academy by the allotted time but Monami, who almost reaches the gate, goes back to help Koel, another recruit, and is 30 seconds late. Monami convinces Colonel Batra that she is fit for the academy and she too is admitted. She earns the name "Monami Tsunami" from the trainers and "Rani Sahiba" from Karan for her privilege, while she calls Karan "Khadoos Shergill".

Sid arrives at the academy and claims that she is to be his fiancée. She denies it but as Sanjana beats him, she accepts it. Sid claims to have a rare heart disease and Mrs. Batra throws an engagement party for Sid and Monami. Sid likes Sanjana but Sanjana rejects him and his gifts as she is already engaged but fails to mention it. Karan gets angry and locks up Sid without food or water. Sid falls unconscious and the cadets divide into two opposing teams: one believing Sid to be at fault and the other believing Karan to be too strict. Ambar Rawat, who hates Karan for his medals and qualifications obtains a video of the fight in the academy between Karan and Monami and asks the minister for an enquiry into Karan resulting in Karan being set free.

Monami falls in love with Karan and becomes friends with him while Siddharth and Sanjana also become close. Karan also to have feelings for Monami but ignores them due to his past trauma of losing his brother whom he loved very much. The cadets and trainers help Koel to be free from her abusive husband. Monami proposes to Karan but he refuses. Faizi and Koel become closer while Monami eventually learns about Karan's past and gives him up. Karan realizes that he is in love with Monami in front of Faizi. Sanjana's regressive fiancé Kundan arrives and Sid and Monami's good friend Dr. Aneesh who loves Monami from their college days, making Karan jealous, insecure and possessive. Sid is heartbroken upon learning about Kundan and Sanjana. Karan and Monami console Sanju and Sid over this while Sanju leaves the academy. Karan and Monami spend some quality time together while Sid takes a break from the academy. Seeing them close, Aneesh conspires to create misunderstandings between them and succeeds, leading to Karan and Monami having a heated argument. Karan realizes his intentions to degrade him in front of Monami. Later, Karan along with other SAF trainers and cadets go on a rescue mission during a landslide. Karan is worried about Monami being trapped in the landslide but he finds her safe. The duo again become close and soon Monami becomes inconsolable after finding Sid's hoodie and wallet on the site. Kundan is revealed to be involved in illegal activities. Soon Sid calls Monami and reveals that he is fine. Aneesh plans to kill Karan by trapping him inside a very weak cave but Monami sees Karan going inside and follows him. The duo get close and Karan confesses his love for her but she becomes unconscious due to hypothermia. They are rescued while Karan starts doubting Aneesh.

Later, an attack is expected on Parakram SAF on Republic Day by Revolutionary People's Front (RPF), an extremist organization. Its leader Kanu Pandya (KP)'s daughter Dhanu takes the guise of Pushpa and manages to enter the academy as an event manager by killing the real one. The plan is to kill Karan as he failed their plans and almost arrested KP two years earlier.

Karan learns that Monami did not hear his confession and gets upset but she is confused by his changed behavior towards her. Sid too figures out that Sanjana is not happy with her marriage and loves him. He reaches her village to stop her wedding.

In the Republic Day's function, Karan finds a bomb in the mike which is defused. Pushpa decides to kill Karan but Faizi is injured by her. Monami figures out the truth from Faizi and informs Karan but is held hostage at gunpoint by Pushpa. She manages to run away using Monami as a pawn. Monami recalls the cave incident but pesters Karan to confess his love. Monami is elated while Sid starts to implement his plan. Monami and Karan go on a date while Sid is determined to break Sanju's marriage. He later learns Kundan's truth but Sanju does not believe him. Aneesh vows to separate Karan and Monami and pretends to be injured to keep Monami occupied. Aneesh calls Dr. Deepak, Monami's father, to the academy who manages to create misunderstandings between her and Karan while Kundan's boss KD enters. Kundan realizes about Sid and Sanjana and kidnaps him, who vows to not let the marriage happen at any cost. Sanjana rescues Sid but gets caught by KD. Karan and Monami find Sid, and with the help of Koel and other SAF members rescue Sanjana and the other girls and get Kundan and KD arrested. Sid tries to make Sanjana accept her love while Karan and Monami sort out their differences and hug, angering Aneesh and Dr. Deepak.

Dhanu finds Karan's look-alike Balli, a truck driver and plans to disguise him as Karan and send him to the academy in his place. Col. Batra informs Karan that Dhanu is planning something big, which he hides from Monami, while Balli becomes smitten with her. Karan and Monami share a few romantic moments. Aneesh conspires against them and captures their intimate moments on camera and gets their photos publicly exposed at a women's day press conference with the help of a journalist. The journalist maligns Karan and Monami which leads Karan to accept their love in front of everyone. They find out that it was Aneesh's conspiracy and he is thrown out while Col. Batra and the others support Karan and Monami. Karan's Bhabhi does Monami's roka and gifts her Karan's medal. He decides to ring her after Param's barsi but gets trapped by Dhanu, Charu and their men.

Balli swaps places with Karan while Monami grows anxious for Karan's safety. Balli's activities makes Monami and others suspicious of him. Their doubts are confirmed after Balli inappropriately touches Monami while Karan kills Dhanu. Batra Sir gives Monami, Faizi and Sanjana two days to find Karan and they start to implement their plan. Karan realizes that the team know the truth and are trying to find him while Monami is determined to bring him back. Karan notices another prisoner captured by Charu and team, who turns out be Param, his brother. Balli betrays Charu which angers her. Monami, Faizi and Sanjana learn about Aneesh's betrayal and go to rescue Karan with the help of Balli. Charu plants a bomb in Karan's cell which blasts as Balli opens the door. Karan dies in Monami's arms. Monami is shattered upon losing her love and vows vengeance. The cadets realise what Karan wanted to tell them after they find their favorite belongings which Karan supposedly burnt during their first day in a storeroom. They feel guilty for wrongly judging him. Sid is worried for Monami as he knows the truth and Monami and the others are missing for two days. Monami regains consciousness two days after Karan's death and returns to the academy while Batra Sir, Sanju, Faizi and Ustad Ji too breakdown.
