 Plot 

Divya (Manisha Koirala) and Karan (Sunny Deol) are in love, and planning to marry. While Karan has got a job, Divya is still in her last year of college, with Karan's younger step-brother Vivek (Sonu Nigam). They live in a hostel with Atul (Akshay Kumar), Abdul (Arshad Warsi), Ashok (Aditya Pancholi), Prem (Aftab Shivdasani), Vijay (Suniel Shetty), Viktor (Sharad Kapoor), Niki (Upasana Singh), Nita (Rambha), Preeti (Pinky Campbell) and Rashmi (Kiran Rathod). Abdul has a habit of cracking lame jokes.

Rajesh (Rajat Bedi) and Madan (Siddharth Ray) try to rape Divya, but Karan arrives at the right moment and smashes the door to save her. Rajesh and Madan are humiliated in front of the whole college, and they decide to get revenge for their humiliation.

Divya listens to a call from a man named Kapil (Armaan Kohli), who is a blessed serpent, who tells Divya he was her lover in a past life. Divya starts getting dreams of the past, when a sage (Amrish Puri) cursed her and Kapil to be separated and meet in the 21st century, because they disturbed him in his meditation. She also comes to know that her name in a previous life was Vasundara. Vasundara died after the curse and was reborn as Divya in her new life. She believes Kapil, but leaves him to attend a call from Atul. Atul tells her to come to a party. While Atul's friends are planning, Divya then calls at Atul's house to say that she is not coming. However, Rajesh imitates the voice of all male members of the group and tricks her to come to an abandoned fort at the wrong time. Rajesh and Madan then brutally rape her, which leads her to commit suicide. As she is dying, she tells Kapil to take revenge on all the male members of the group, since she misunderstands and thinks that they had all planned the attack.

Madan is killed the same day by a bite from Kapil, while Rajesh is killed later on his wedding night by Divya's ghost.

Viktor, when going to Atul's party, is chased by Kapil and killed by riding a motorcycle on his neck. Kapil takes Viktor's disguise, goes to the party and electrocutes lame joker Abdul to death. The group  become tense, and their Principal (Raj Babbar), who is a parapsychologist, believes their innocence and calls Divya's spirit to talk with them and explain the misunderstanding. However, Atul ends up shooting bullets at Divya in anger, and her spirit begins to disappear. The group are given lockets by the Principal, which, when worn, are meant to protect them from Divya and Kapil. Atul does not believe this at first, but when the locket saves him from an attack by Kapil, he starts to believe.

Later, Atul chases Kapil down in a motorcycle and loses his locket. He is attacked with blows to the head from Kapil. Atul tries shooting at him, but the bullets have no effect on him. Badly injured, Atul explodes a bomb on Kapil and then collapses, falling into a coma. The exploded body parts of Kapil come back together again, and he recovers.

Ashok and Prem both have a crush on Rashmi, who is in love with Prem. Ashok, who is far richer and more powerful and than Prem, threatens him at various times to stay away from Rashmi. Divya's ghost takes over Prem and possesses his mind, which leads him to hit Ashok and eventually kill him. Prem gets arrested and charged with murder. Rashmi tried to free Prem with the help of a lawyer, but on the day of the hearing, Kapil kidnaps Rashmi, takes Rashmi's disguise and goes to the court instead. While in disguise, Kapil accuses Prem, who is convicted of murder by the court and hanged.

Vijay is afraid to fight a boxing match against Ajay (his opponent) as he is sure that Kapil will take Ajay's disguise and kill him. However, he wants to fight and win in order to prove his love to Preeti. Surprisingly, he wins the match because Divya  stops Kapil from killing Vijay, since she wants to kill him herself, believing him to be the biggest traitor of the group. The Principal traps Divya's ghost in a box to save Vijay, but she gets out mysteriously, goes into Vijay's body, and kills him by throwing him from a building.

Vivek, afraid he's next, calls his elder brother Karan to save him, but Kapil stabs him while disguised as Karan. The police arrive, and the real Karan is arrested.

Suddenly, Atul wakes up from his coma, but before Nita can get the doctor, he rides off on a motorcycle with Vivek, chasing down Kapil. Once again, the locket falls off, and Atul gets fatally attacked by Kapil. As he is about to die, he runs to the Principal, asking him to save Vivek at any cost. The Principal promises him and Atul dies in his arms.

Karan breaks out of his cell and runs from the station to reach the place where Vivek and Kapil were fighting. He challenges Kapil, and a fierce fight between the two begins. However, Karan gets defeated and is almost killed. The Principal chants some chants, which give Karan supernatural powers, and with his powers, he finally kills Kapil. This leaves Vivek as the only survivor in the killers’ group, and he lives happily with Karan ever after.

Divya and Kapil reunite in heaven.
