Five Unlikely Heroes...
And One Elaan...

And finally Bollywood acknowledges the fact that the leading ladies in a formula film can be a 'Hero' too - definitely a step in the right direction!

Starring five 'heroes' - Arjun Rampal, John Abraham, Rahul Khanna, Amisha Patel and Lara Dutta, Elaan is special for one more reason. The film marks the return of three time National award winner Mithun Chakrobarty to the so-called league of A-grade cinema. Playing the role of a gang lord in this slick action thriller directed by Vikram Bhatt, Mithun's return should be appreciated by his 'urban fans', who lost on all his performances in last decade or so!! A Venus production by Ganesh Jain and Ratan Jain, who have a recent hit ' Hulchul ' to their credit, Elaan has music by Anu Malik and lyrics by Sameer.

Storyline

Terror has a new name - Baba Sikander (Mithun Chakraborthy). Drugs, Murder, Kidnapping are his game. Baba Sikander's very name strike fear, for he rules by fear. Just his phone call can sound your death knell. He can finish your life, while you're still alive. Or worse, sentence you to a living death. He recognizes no geographical boundaries for terrorism is his reign; he respects no international laws, for he makes his own.

His evil tentacles encircle the globe, terrorizing the rich and smashing the stubborn. Obey him and he may let you live. Incur his wrath and invite certain death. One man, Kantilal Shah refuses to yield to his demands and pays the terrible price. One man, Karan Shah (Rahul Khanna) will defy the improbable odds and make an impossible vow - he will capture the mighty Baba Sikander and drag him back to India, alive. This is his Elaan.

Assisting him in his mission are Arjun - an ex-cop (Arjun Rampal), Abhimanyu - a petty criminal (John Abraham), Sonia - a bar dancer (Lara Dutta) and Priya - a TV reporter (Amisha Patel). Together they are a team of five unlikely heroes and make one Elaan.
