Amartya Rao Naik belongs to a lower middle class family & his father sells vegetables at a railway overbridge. All the vendors there are forced to pay protection money to gangster Gaitonde. One day, some of the dreaded Gaitonde’s henchmen assault Amartya’s teenage brother Arjun. Enraged, Amartya trashes the entire gang. He is arrested by the police and subjected to further abuse by Gaitonde’s henchmen. He is able to fight them all and earns the respect of criminal Nari Khan, who warns Gaitonde of any further action.
Amartya soon receives bail, courtesy ‘Bhau’, the party leader of the local ‘Chatrapati Sena’ which is known for its violent ways and scouts for muscle men like Amartya. Bhau tells him that, now that he has made Gaitonde his arch nemesis, he has to find a solution to it in a week, and if he does, Bhau can lend his political & legal protection in return. Amartya meets Nari’s key aide and gets information on Gaitonde’s operations. He then attacks his men and is able to confiscate all his arsenal. Later, he secures a bail for Nari and also threatens Gaitonde to get out of his way. Gaitonde realizes his diminishing strength and resents to his fate. With Bhau’s blessings, Amartya gets uninhibited control of the city.
