Devraj doesn't get much of a chance to enjoy his new status before a well-known police informant (Vivek) is found dead, and Devraj is considered the prime suspect by Inspector Amit (Rajat Bedi). The police also discover that Payal (Twinkle Khanna), a reporter, has been raped and beaten, and lies close to death in her apartment. Eager to interview the notorious Devraj, the plucky journalist began following the notorious outlaw, and in their many brief meetings along the way, Payal finds herself falling in love with him. Devraj also developed strong feelings for Payal, but when he discovered that she was also working with the police -- and a close friend of the informer -- her life with the Khiladi moved from risky to potentially deadly. International Khiladi proved to be a box-office success for Akshay Kumar, a major star in his native India. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
