The Mumbai Police force arrest three young terrorist suspects and interrogates them, but doesn't receive any information. Karanveer "Karan" Singh Dogra is called to help the cops, but one of the suspects kills himself. Upon further investigation, Karan learns the suspects received money and VHS tapes containing a terrorist's message. Also, one of the suspects talks repeatedly about 9/11, which is decoded as an attack on India on the day of Deepavali. Further learning the recordings were shot by a camera in London, Karan decides to go undercover along with Bhavna Reddy, who assisted him on his previous mission. Posing as a married couple, they arrive in London where Mallika Sood, a MI6 officer, takes them to their work station where another agent named Armaan Akhtar assists them. On the other hand, the British terrorist Buraq Ansari forces his son Abeer to watch him kill a man. Abeer's mother and Buraq's ex-wife Zahira wants to contact the cops, but is threatened by Buraq. After learning that two Indian agents have arrived in London to capture him, Buraq enlists his agents's help to track them while Karan and his team go through the same process to follow Buraq's agents.
While pursuing a suspect, Karan meets Zahira and Abeer and soon gets involved in a bike chase with the suspect, resulting in the latter's accidental death. Karan retrieves his phone and answers Buraq's call, further telling him he would soon visit the dead suspect's house. Karan and the team arrive at the home, but outside is stopped by Buraq's goons. A fight breaks out, resulting in Karan getting thrown out of the house by an explosion. The video goes viral, and so does Bhavna's tweet supporting Karan. It is revealed to be a part of Karan's plan when he releases a video challenging Buraq without disclosing his identity. When Buraq's DNA matches a murder suspect, Karan and his team rush to Buraq's restaurant but learns that he already left. Realizing that he would have gone to pick up Abeer from school, Karan arrives and challenges him before the latter disappears. Back in Mumbai, the two suspects are reformed by an Imam. Buraq is unwilling to leave Abeer and soon finds himself exposed when Karan holds a press conference with Abeer and Zahira. When Abeer and Zahira are being escorted safely to the airport, Buraq's henchmen attack the vehicles, where Bhavna is knocked out in the crash while Karan and Mallika fights off the henchmen.
However, Zahira and Abeer are kidnapped, and Mallika is informed about Buraq's surrender. Karan tries to interrogate him but ends up using brute force, due to which he and Bhavna are ordered to leave London within 24 hours or face deportation. Buraq is freed due to making a deal with the MI6 and provides the evidence of the previous attack in exchange for his freedom. On his way to a safe house, Buraq asks the officers to stop at a mosque, where he switches places with one of his henchmen and kills Zahira. Realizing the attack would be not on Deepavali but on Dussehra, Karan decides to continue alone, but is joined by his team. Through Abeer's tablet, the safe house is located and attacked by Bhavna and Mallika while Karan leaves to capture Buraq. Following the fight that leaves all the henchmen dead, Karan injects Buraq and takes him away. Bhavna and Mallika rescue Abeer, while Karan is safely picked up by his agency's helicopter and escorted to India's cargo ship. With minimal time remaining for the attacks, Karan and the cops try to find the targeted cities. Decoding spoken repeatedly by Buraq, Karan finds the targeted towns and releases a video requesting India's Muslims to understand the value of religious unity. The Muslims gear up to face the terrorists where they are joined by the cops and the terrorists are arrested. Karan kills Buraq and hands over Abeer to the dead suspect's father.
