Plot

Due to increased terrorist attacks, Colonel Pushpendra Batra comes out of retirement and founds a civilian training camp in Parakram Academy to train civilians as a special emergency force. Special Agent Karan Shergill, Sanjana Dubey and Faizuddin Siddiqui are the primary trainers in the training. Karan, also the in-charge of the programme, is mistaken for a bully by Dr. Monami Mahajan, who is also going to join the academy, who picks a fight with him, creating a terrible first impression. Karan is harsh on the hike to their jungle camp, hoping the weaker recruits will quit. Faizi helps Koel Roy, another recruit, to smuggle her bag inside after seeing her attachment with it, unknown to the truth about her hiding her son, Nikhil, inside it. She is on the run from her abusive husband and to save her son she joins the camp. After the new recruits take an oath of service, Karan pretends to destroy their favorite possessions, burning the memory into them and uniting them in their anger toward him. In reality, he has kept all of the possessions safely locked and does so to make them better commandos. He puts them through harsh drills, to which the cadets retaliate. Monami's best friend Siddharth Ganju aka Sid arrives at the camp after failing to convince her to come back home so that she can help him escape his father who is sending him to a dairy farm, and to whom he lied about being in love with her and having proposed her, causing a serious security breach. Monami denies that Sid is her fiancé, and instructor Sanjana beats Sid as a suspected spy until Monami changes her story. Col. Batra's wife tends to Sid, taking him as a surrogate for her dead son, and throws an engagement party for Sid and Monami. Koel hides Nikhil who has come out during the party. Meanwhile, Sid was actually going to Goa and while drunk, he calls Monami but instead talks to Sanjana, who is drunk too, since every recruits phones are with the academy, and becomes attracted to Sanjana without seeing her and only knows about the girl he is attracted to has tattoo. He reveals to Monami that he is there just to search the tattoo girl and soon enough realizes in the party about Sanjana being the same girl he was looking for. Also, he feigns about having a rare heart disease. Karan challenges Sid to box Sanjana for the right to stay at the academy. Sanjana outclasses Sid but he doesn't quit. Mrs. Batra stops the match and later puts Sid in charge of the camp's canteen.

Sanjana becomes increasingly brutal and isolated. She tells Karan that she has become engaged which could unfairly impact her career. Karan responds that it is being a woman that empowers her to beat any opponent. Sid proposes to Sanjana who rejects him and his gifts, upset with the fact that her fiancé wants her to be a traditional wife. Karan sees the commotion and throws Sid into a detention cell for hurting Sanjana's feelings. The recruits become divided as they take sides in the quarrel. Karan even stops his food and water. Sid doesn't gives up and after a couple of days faints and becomes serious due to excessive dehydration. Monami blames Karan for Sid's condition and rebukes him for having affair with two girls after overhearing him saying baby and talking to her on phone while another lady arrives and goes with him. Baby is actually his niece whim he affectionately calls so and the lady is his sister-in-law. Baby aka Soumya doesn't knows about her father being already martyred. Karan is angered due to the accusation and warns her to not interfere in his personal life. Although Sid recovers, an enquiry is set on Karan and Ambar Rawat is sent by the ministry with Karan suspended till the inquiry. On the other hand, Sid is rejected by Sanjana and is blamed by her to be the reason of Karan's suspension. He is even rebuked by Mrs. Batra for breaking her heart. Heartbroken, Sid soon leaves disheartened but before leaving, he and Monami have a fight and they decide to not see each other's face, although both of them are equally heartbroken over the fight. A video of the fight in academy was leaked online, later revealed to be leaked by Koel to safeguard her stay in the academy for her son, and Ambar, jealous of Karan (for being chosen to lead the training programme by Batra sir) provoked the minister to set an enquiry on him. He tricks all the cadets into testifying against Karan but just as he is about to leave the academy, Col. Batra reveals to him about Sid's letter in which he takes all the blame on himself, which he left before leaving, and Karan is saved. Faizi informs Karan about his lost phone and how he believes that the video was leaked through it. Karan calls on the phone which was mistakenly switched on by Koel who left it on the canteen bench where Monami then comes to sit on. Following the phone ringtone, both of them find the phone in Monami's hand and they accuse her of leaking the video, while Monami tries to justify. On Bala's recommendation, they check the CCTV footage and realise how they mistook her, who thanks Bala for trusting her and leaves. But to check who kept the phone, they see the footage again and realise that it is deleted, and Koel realizes someone now knows her truth. It is later revealed to be Ambar who demands Koel to help her find proof against Karan, to which she reluctantly agrees, just for her son. Later in the evening, Monami meets Soumya aka Baby, who is asthmatic, and they instantly click. They share about their bestfriends and while playing, Baby's pump gets lost and she soon gets an asthma attack and becomes subconscious which is seen by Karan, who blames her for his niece's condition, and Monami realizes who is Baby and how she misunderstood him. She wants to help them but Karan warns her not to dare enter his personal life. She gets well and the doctor informs Karan that the caffeine given by Monami helped her. Karan's sister-in-law tells Suman ji and Monami about the drastic change in Karan after his brother Param Shergill's death, for which he blames himself. Monami feels even more guilty. Sid is also in the same hospital as them for bandaging purpose and encounters Baby, who gives him an important advice about how he should become Sanju's friend before confessing his feelings. Soon Monami realizes about an illegal organ trade racket going in the hospital and informs the same to Karan who brushes it off thinking it to be Monami's misunderstanding. But Monami decides to expose the racket and save Gauri, Baby's nanny and house help. Sid also sees Monami and goes behind her. She reaches Police Station but police too are involved in the racket. She then manages to enter the place where the racket is being executed. She sees that along with Gauri, a lot of other girls are there too and tries to help but is caught by a doctor involved and Monami is held captive. In the academy, Suman is worried about Monami and informs the same to Sanju, and then Karan who tells them that both Gauri and Monami haven't returned from the hospital and Karan hopes that Monami hasn't created any drama there. On Suman's insistence he calls Monami and over the phone hears someone else, the doctor, and informs this to Sanju and Suman about the same. The three instructors and Suman try to go out to search Monami but are unable to due to Ambar's intervention. Batra sir too ask them to wait for 24 hours first. Sid arrives at the scene to help and save Monami from the hospital. Together they fight the doctors and nurses there and reconcile. In the academy, compelled, they all stop from going anywhere which is when Sid calls up Sanju who informs others too about the same and picks up to ask for Monami's location but as soon as he names himself and Monami, she hangs up the call and tells Faizi and Karan that they should've already understood that both of them are together. The trio leaves the spot while Chitra and Bala try to console and calm Sumanji who is still worried for Monami. Sid and Monami decide to take the matter in their hands and they set out to free all the girls stuck there with Sid distracting all the guards towards him and Monami taking them out. But in the middle of their way out, Monami and others are caught by Chirag, the organ-trafficking head and a psycho, and he sends away all the girls back in the room. He then slaps Monami and holds her by hair. Sid after knocking off the guards comes there and sees this. He rushes towards Monami but Chirag stabs him twice which shocks and shakes her. There, in the academy Karan and Sanjana are worried about Monami and Sid and question each other what if they are actually in trouble while Koel tries to find out about the situation from Suman on Ambar's insistence. Sid is dragged away and Monami is taken to the operation theatre. Karan decides to go and look for the matter prepared since he was sure that he didn't hear Sid's voice on Monami's call. Just then Sanju arrives and shows him and Faizi the video sent by Sid in which Chirag is threatening Monami and talking about selling her organs too, which he recorded before being dragged away and they all decide to save Monami, Sid and Gauri. Koel overhears this and informs the same to Ambar who ask her to go along with them to which she agrees heavy heartedly. Sumanji, Bala and Premji reach the spot followed by Chitra and Koel and together they save Monami, Sid, Gauri and other girls. Monami operates Gauri while Karan guards them despite continuous firing. The firing stops and Karan sees Koel at Chirag's gunpoint and to save her kneels down and even gets shot. Monami comes out and Chirag decides to shoot her for messing up his work but Karan takes the bullet, not before shooting down Chirag. Koel fells guilty for helping Ambar against Karan after this incident and deletes the proof she collected. Karan's suspension is revoked and he is given a clean chit after Monami, Sid and Koel testify in favour of Karan in front of the minister and Karan is given back his uniform. Monami develops a soft corner for Karan and soon starts falling for him after the incident.

A new mission is assigned to the cadets by the trainers when they become overconfident and Monami is chosen as the captain as Sid raises her hand. Unitedly, they complete the task and as promised to Monami, are granted their one wish and Sid suggests going on a picnic and is agreed upon after Karan sees them working as a team for the first time.

Karan who doesn't comes to the picnic at first later arrives and even enjoys with the cadets after a conversation with Koel in the mess. While playing Monami mistakenly hurts Karan on his wound which starts to bleed. She gets upset when Bala jokingly comments about Karan getting hurt each time she is near him. Karan boosts her morale and tells her to ignore negativity. Meanwhile, Nikhil convinces Koel to go to the picnic spot and she agrees after seeing Pooja, another cadet, in the academy who was left by mistake. In the camp, Sid confirms his doubts about Monami's feelings when she blurts out that she likes Karan. Later in the evening, Monami gets hurt upon overhearing Karan and Faizi's conversation where Karan again says about her being among those rich spoiled privileged people and that she is too emotional and her dad's princess. Karan tries to talk to her but she refuses to talk and sarcastically tells him that the dad's princess can take care of herself. On their way to the picnic, Koel and Pooja, were almost molested by a group of boys who had offered them a lift earlier. Karan agrees to sing a song on everyone's request when Koel and Pooja reach there too scared. Monami slaps one of the boys, the leader of the gang, before Karan hands them over to the police. They both share some bittersweet moments together when Karan tries to pacify her. Meanwhile, the rest get drunk after drinking the juice which was spiked with alcohol by Sid, who did it to lighten everyone's mood. Karan cancels the picnic and he and Monami have a fight on the same topic of rich, spoiled kids not caring about anyone's life and tells her that she and Sid will remain the same spoiled privileged kids for him. Monami storms off in anger into the forest. The next day, everyone find her missing and Karan goes to search her. Sid and Sanju too have an argument where Sid states that she'll face no other problem due to him, angered by the wrong accusation by Sanju that he was trying to come close to her on the pretext of helping her when he was genuinely trying to help her. In the forest, Monami comes across the same boys and she is kidnapped, but she comes out of their hold using her mind. Karan finds her and he lets the boys go after being asked by the boys and Monami herself to forgive them. They share a light talk and realise that they are lost. They see an injured little boy in the forest and reach a village. As a token of gratitude, they get invited to the wedding of the child's grandfather' granddaughter. Both of them share some sweet moments. Due to an incident in the wedding revolving around two kids and his service pistol, he gets reminded of the incident that took Param's life. As Monami prepares a dinner date for Karan gearing up to confess her feelings, she spots him in the midst of a panic attack caused by the trauma of his elder brother getting martyred. Monami tries to bring out Karan from the attack and he shoots Monami by accident which causes a lot of blood loss placing her life in a critical condition. Karan informs about the same to Faizi and Sanjana. When both of them tell this to Sid, he gets heartbroken. Karan feels very guilty for placing Monami's life at risk and hurts himself. Sid gets to know about Karan shooting Monami and gets furious on him and restricts him to meet Monami, who regains consciousness. When Monami's father get to know about the same, he brings police and questions the trainers. Karan almost confesses his crime when Sid comes and cooks up a fake story about Monami shooting herself. He then tells Karan about Monami's struggles with her father controlling her life's decisions, making Karan feel even more guilty. Dr. Mahajan soon realizes from the ballistic report that someone deliberately shot her and questions Sid and Karan when Monami starts to bleed again as her stitches get open and she again becomes critical but is saved when Karan, who shares the same blood group as Monami (AB-), donates blood to her. He then stands up for Monami when her father labels her as a foolish, emotional fool like her mother. Sid too is elated upon overhearing this. Monami gets blackmailed by her father into choosing either Karan and Academy or Her Dreams. Monami gives up her dreams to save Karan, who gets upset and angry when informed by her about her decision to quit academy by lying that she fears for her life after being shot. After learning about her decision from Karan, Sid furiously contacts her as he believes Dr. Mahajan to be behind this because Monami who fought for her dreams could never leave them just due to being scared and learns from her the whole truth. Karan, guilty over the fact that the academy's best cadet has quit due to him, gives the cadets task in which he gets hurt. Sid stops him and cleans his wound and slips out to him about Monami not quitting the academy on her own by giving him hints, since Monami's swear restricted him from telling the whole truth. Karan realizes about her being forced to quit and leaves for home to bring her back. Meanwhile Dr. Mahajan informs Monami about his decision to send her to London, to which she reluctantly agrees with a heavy heart. Also, in the academy, Nikhil gets caught by Sanjana and cadets when he steals some firecrackers but Faizi saves Nikhil and Koel from getting exposed by lying to all that he found Nikhil outside the academy lost and later reveals to Koel that he read her letter and urges her to share everything with him, who gets panicked due to the flashes of her domestic abuse and Sid too learns about Nikhil and Koel's relation when he accidently overhears Faizi and her conversation and promises to keep her secret. On the other side, Karan meets Monami just as she is about to leave and urges her to stand up for her dreams without thinking about anything but her dreams. She finally takes a stand for herself in front of her father and leaves with Karan. The cadets get more and more suspicious of Koel and Nikhil and Suman ji uploads Nikhil's picture online. In the Diwali function, Monami and Karan bond a little more and during a game of antakshari, she proposes him veiled, in the form of a song while Sid is forgiven by Mrs. Batra. Later, Monami is given the responsibility to handle the Diwali Jalsa hosted by the academy and to ensure that everything goes goes well. Nikhil's father, Abhay Mehra tracks him down due the picture while Faizi and Koel bond due to Nikhil.

Abhay arrives and reveal his, Koel and Nikhil's relation and decides to leave by cooking up a fake story but has to stop due to formalities. In the jalsa, Monami learns about everything about Koel's past from her and decides to help her escape with Nikhil but she gets followed everywhere by Abhay and eventually hides with Monami in the academy storeroom itself. Karan and Faizi track them to the storeroom and visit them there. A broken Koel slaps Suman ji and shows her bruise marks to Karan, Sanju, Sid, Monami and Sumanji when she accuses her of being characterless and having an affair while Abhay brings police. Koel has to forcefully with him when he threatens her with Nikhil while Karan and Monami get upset with each other, Karan on Monami for helping Koel escape despite his refusal and Monami on Karan for not helping Koel. Karan tries to help her legally. Once back home, Koel again gets brutually tortured. Monami heavily exercises angry over the fact for not being able to save Koel despite Sid trying to stop her. Karan forces her to stop and tells her to clean the place if she wants to take out her anger. She gets hurt by a piece of glass while Karan tends to her wound but she gets angry when he mentions about trusting her as a cadet and tells him that she mistook that they were friends and storms out of the place. Karan defends Monami's actions in front of Batra sir and later warns her to stay out of it. A new competition which his held each year at Parakram, Chakravyuh, is announced and Karan-Monami, Sid-Sanju and Sumanji-Faizi are teamed up. Sid refuses to practice upset over Koel matter and gets punished and Monami too joins him by disobeying them while Karan changes the teams to Sanju-Monami and Karan-Sid. Later in the night, Karan and Monami patch up and Karan extends a hand of friendship to her and she is elated about finding a third friend too in the academy alongside Sid and Gappu, her plant. Sid and Monami try to contact Koel but are caught by Karan who agrees to set up a call with her where she lies about being perfect now while the others get suspicious of her behavior. Koel acts to be a changed person and acts as a lovey-dovey wife with Abhay. Sid and Sanju come closer while Karan, Faizi and Sanju decide to check on Koel at her home. Sid and Bala too go to Sid's home since his father was ill while Karan, Sanju and Monami reach Koel's house where they learn that Abhay and Koel are out for dinner with friends. Karan, Sanju and Monami too reach the same restaurant as Koel and Abhay but miss them. Sanju runs into Sid and Bala and indulge in street food while the pair bond with each other. Koel is caught by Abhay while trying to go with tickets to London for her and Nikhil. Koel stands up for herself and decides to fight him while she receives the mobile left by Monami with Nikhil secretly. Abhay prepares to leave to London forever with Koel and Nikhil. Koel informs the same to Monami, who relays this to other cadets. To buy sometime, Sid through his father's contacts has an income tax raid done in Abhay's house. While all of them want to help her themselves, Monami shows her trust on Karan and asks others too to trust him, while Karan and Faizi hear this after hearing the recording of Koel's call. It is decided that Suman Ji will infiltrate Abhay's house as a cook and will get the recordings of the beatings from his house's console room. After Suman Ji's phone too is taken away by Abhay, Karan and Monami reach outside the house. While Karan distracts the guards, Monami and Suman ji climb through the window. They even succeed in gathering the evidence but in hurry the pendrive falls from Monami's hand. In night, Monami sits anxious and worried about saving Koel while Karan comforts her. She hugs him and gets emotional. Next morning, Suman Ji is able to collect the pendrive but in hurry her disguise comes off and Nikhil recognizes her. A fight ensues in which Nikhil also gets hurt and finally gets to know his father's reality. After Abhay threatens to kill Koel, Suman Ji surrenders the pendrive. Nikhil apologizes to his mother and promises to be by her side no matter what. Karan and team have just one final chance left in the award night and they decide to save Nikhil and Koel. They disguise themselves and enter the party. When they realize about Nikhil not being in the party, Sid and Sanju reach Mehra House to save Nikhil and succeed and Nikhil finds the pendrive in which the evidence was there, which is not damaged fully. They reach the venue and somehow manage to escort out Koel but she stops when she hears Abhay's speech about him taking good care of her and ensuring that she is hurt neither mentally nor physically, she decides to first expose him and then leave. Everyone comes together to support Koel and they finally expose Abhay but he manages by stating Koel as mentally unstable. Just then Sid repairs the pendrive and exposes Abhay and he is taken away. Back in academy, she thanks everyone and they celebrate while Monami requests Karan for a celebratory party for the success of their mission and everyone starts preparing for the party. Koel-Faizi, Monami-Karan and Sid-Sanju come closer while Monami decides to confess her love to Karan while Karan shrugs off his feelings and denies them. Meanwhile, Koel leaves for sometime to complete her divorce proceedings and leaves Nikhil with Faizi. Meanwhile, Sid and Sanju share some sweet moments together and become friends. After the party, Monami finally admits to Karan that she likes him while he is taken aback with the proposal, and denying his feelings, he denies to it and apologizes for making her feel this way. He states that he's not the right person for her. Karan’s reaction to the proposal leaves Monami shell-shocked and devastated and she leaves while Karan is guilty of his actions. Sid comforts her while Faizi asks Karan to ask his inner self whether he too doesn't love Monami and he tells him that he can't help it because after Param's death he decided to hate himself and doesn't knows how to feel when someone loves him and thinks him to be hers. Faizi tries to make him realize his love and tries convincing him to forget the past and move on. He tells him to accept his feelings but he keeps denying while Monami decides to bounce back stronger and pulls herself up for the competition without letting her feelings come in between, deciding to keep her heartbreak aside while Karan decides to apologize to her for being rude and hurting her. Monami-Karan and Sid-Sanjana are paired up for tasks. In the first task, Karan and Monami have to perform a task in which Karan is blindfolded while Monami has to guide him through various hurdles where Karan gets hurt in hand due to glass pieces in the hurdle. They win the task while Karan too slowly starts realizing his love for Monami which he has been ignoring. Sanjana and Sid complete their task and Parakram SAF wins the competition and brings the trophy. Sanju falls unconscious due to a waterless fast for which she was forced by her mother making everyone worry for her while Monami distances herself from Karan. Later, Sid and Sanju are sent on a mission and are in constant contact with Karan and Academy but soon the contact is broken. Monami gets angry on Karan for sending Sid on a risky mission when he is not trained yet and gets hyper and worried for Sid. Karan and she indulge in an argument. Faizi arrives and inform them that a search team has been sent to look for them by Batra Sir and he (Batra Sir) himself is going with the police to search them
