Synopsis: Based on
a
real-life 1987 heist that has never been solved, Special 26 is the story of
a band of thieves who raid and rob businesses, corrupt politicians and the like
posing as income tax or CBI officials. And they
only steal black money, so the victims don’t like to report it. The crew is
lead by schemer Ajay (Akshay Kumar), who is backed by P.K. Sharma (Anupam Kher),
Joginder (Rajesh Sharma) and Iqbal (Kishor Kadam). But in the film’s first heist,
Ajay and crew dupe police officers Ranveer (Jimmy Shergill) and Shanti (Divya
Dutta) into helping them loot a corrupt minister’s home, leading Ranveer to
swear revenge and take his case to resident CBI
badass Wassim Khan (Manoj Bajpayee). As criminal mastermind Ajay works to plan
one last big heist so the crew can retire, police mastermind Wassim is always
in step with him.
