Plot

Two Special Task Force officers, Senior Superintendent of Police Javed Abbas and Assistant Commissioner of Police Arun Verma, are close friends and partners working to capture a powerful drug lord, KKV, who is protected by corrupt officials within the police department. Javed, a widower raising four children, entrusts Arun with their care in case anything happens to him. During a drug raid, Javed is killed by an unknown assailant.

Honoring his friend's last wish, Arun reluctantly takes responsibility for Javed’s children with the help of Geeta, a woman who is secretly working undercover at KKV’s nightclub. As Arun struggles to support the family, he attempts to intimidate KKV but instead becomes entangled in a conspiracy within the police force. After stealing KKV’s illegal money to improve his financial situation, Arun is framed for drug possession and suspended from duty when Geeta testifies against him as part of her undercover role.

Determined to clear his name and uncover the truth behind Javed’s death, Arun investigates the network of corrupt officers working for KKV. His search leads him to suspect several high-ranking officials before the conspiracy is finally traced to the CBI Chief, who has been secretly collaborating with the drug lord.

Arun and Geeta confront the criminals at the airport as the Chief attempts to flee the country. During the confrontation, KKV kills the Chief but is himself shot by Inspector Sawant, who then reveals that he murdered Javed out of resentment. Sawant is defeated, Arun is reinstated in the police force, and he reunites with Javed’s children and marries Geeta.

Reception

Critical response

Taran Adarsh of IndiaFM gave the film one out of five, writing, "On the whole, ONE 2 KA 4 is handicapped by a weak script, despite plus factors it has to its credit (SRK's presence, A.R. Rahman's music, vibrant action). The film has precious little to offer in terms of substance, which will curtail its prospects to a major extent. Disappointing!"[5]
