Under pressure from Raja Saab, she denies knowing Shaka. The Major then confronts Radhika and asks her if she knows Shaka from earlier. Back in the present time, the Major surrounds Shaka at his mother's home but finds himself outnumbered by Shaka's men. Brokenhearted, Shyam joins Dara's group and becomes Shaka. Shyam escapes, but Radhika, who only sees him threatening her father, berates him and proclaims him a terrorist. When Shyam goes to Raja Saab's home to take revenge, Raja Saab (who knows of their love affair and feels it is below his family's dignity) frames Shyam also as a terrorist and tries to kill him. Raja Saab bribes a local police officer ( Gulshan Grover), who proclaims Shyam's father as a terrorist and kills him in an encounter. When Raja Saab tries to usurp all the village land, Shyam's father organises all the villages against him. Radhika studies in the same college, and they both fall deeply in love. Shaka was originally Shyam, a patriotic college student and son of a local village leader. Shaka then goes to visit his mother ( Farida Jalal), where the story of Shaka is shown in a flashback. Shabnam (Madhoo), who loves him, tries to hug him, but Shaka rebuffs it. Dara welcomes him and proclaims him to be Diljale. Shaka reaches his lair, where he meets his leader, Dara ( Amrish Puri) and Shabnam ( Madhoo) and the rest of his gang. Then he gives a long look to Radhika, who looks at him with hatred, and leaves. But that turns out to be a ruse as Shaka comes to the place of the engagement and burns the marriage Mandap (hall). The Major and Raja Saab leave with a large force to that village. On the day of the engagement, news breaks of a terrorist attack in a nearby village led by the terrorist, Shaka ( Ajay Devgn). Raja Saab tells her that the Major will be a good husband for her. The film starts with a sad Radhika ( Sonali Bendre) being introduced to an Army Major ( Parmeet Sethi) by her father, Raja Saab ( Shakti Kapoor), an erstwhile king and current politician.
