Plot

The film starts when a Sikh couple alight from a bus at night time on an isolated street. The woman is pregnant. They are followed by racist goons and are attacked. Later, "I" (Sohail Khan) along with his father Kulbhushan Kharbanda reach London. They went to the house of their son who is living along with his wife, son and teenage daughter. Later, they see the news and come to know that the bodies of a Sikh couple were found and it was a suspected racist attack. They attend the last rites of the deceased couple. Later on, the goons attack an Indian store owner. These goons believe that England belongs to white people. The family has to taste racism when Kamal (sister in law) of "I" is cornered and sexually humiliated. She comes to house in shock. "I" comes to know about this and beats three white racist goons. But his brother didn't lodge a police complaint. Later on, "I" is attacked by a Pakistani who is running a boxing club. This attack is ordered by white racist goons as they don't want to attract police. Later on, it's a free for all fight between "I" and the gang leader of racist group and "I" manages to teach them a lesson.
