'Aks' is the story of a hunter and his prey. A cop and a killer. Aks is the story of Manu Verma and Raghavan. The story begins in the heart of Budapest. The Indian Defence minister is on a routine foreign visit.
He reveals the true details of his diplomatic trip to his head of Security Manu Verma by informing him about the floppy which has valuable information that could affect the very destiny of the nation.
On the other hand Intelligence sources have revealed to Manu Verma that a lone assassin long feared for his ruthlessness has been paid to eliminate the Defence minister. The shadowy figure is called Raghavan. Manu Verma reaches the Indian Defence Minister just moments too late to save him and finds the statesman in a pool of blood; Raghavan has struck and vanished into thin air.
Now the hunter becomes the hunted as Manu Verma tries to find Raghavan. When he does find him something unexpected happens, which changes both Manu and Raghavan forever.

Trivia:
Raveena Tandon does a striptease during the song "Yeh Raat" which is inspired from Demi Moore's dance from the movie Striptease (1996).
While shooting the wolf chase scene, the wolf was actually running after its trainer (who isn't shown in the film), unaware that Manoj was running behind it holding a knife. When the wolf realized this, it started chasing Manoj, who just about escaped the its clutches and ran inside his van.
There is a dialogue in the film whereAmitabh Bachchan's calls Raveena Tandon a "Beautiful Bitch". It was censored out by the Indian censor board and the expletive is muted.
