Description: The 2013 Hindi film *Special 26* begins with a CBI interview on March 18, 1987, conducted by Ajay Singh (Akshay Kumar) and P. K. Sharma (Anupam Kher). The narrative then shifts to a flashback, where Ajay Singh contacts a local police station to request additional personnel for a CBI raid. He speaks with SI Ranveer Singh (Jimmy Sheirgill), who agrees to provide the necessary support. Ajay, alongside his team—P. K. Sharma, Joginder (Rajesh Sharma), and Iqbal (Kishor Kadam)—meets the officers and executes the raid.
After a successful raid at a minister’s residence, it is revealed that Ajay and Sharma are imposters posing as CBI officers, along with their accomplices. They disperse to different parts of the country and return to their daily lives. Ajay’s love interest, Priya (Kajal Aggarwal), a teacher about to get married, is introduced. The team reunites in Chandigarh for Sharma’s daughter’s wedding.
Meanwhile, Ranveer and his senior officer meet the minister from the earlier raid, who insists on keeping the incident out of the public eye to protect his reputation. As a result, Ranveer and his colleague Shanti (Divya Dutta) are suspended for their negligence.
CBI officer Waseem Khan (Manoj Bajpayee), based in New Delhi with his wife (Neetu Singh) and child, arrests a criminal named Gupta, showcasing his determination. A disgraced Ranveer approaches Khan, and they collaborate to capture Ajay and his team.
Ajay’s next raid targets a business in Calcutta’s Bara Bazar, where they pose as Income Tax officers. Despite the challenges, the raid succeeds. Khan insists on reporting the incident in the newspaper, as it involves black money, even though no one comes forward to report it. Seeing the news, Ajay and Sharma plan their final and most significant operation—a raid in Bombay.
