The boy's persistent belief that his father did not die in a car accident but was killed by Ra.One leads him to defy his mother (Kareena Kapoor) and bring into their life G.One (Shah Rukh) from the game, who becomes the protector of the family and faces Ra.One in a do or die kind of a climax. It does not take him much time to find out the identity of the defiant game player and Ra. He is searching for Lucifer who had defied him in the game world.
