Synopsis

Orphaned Yakub Ansari is befriended by Vijay Kamble, adopted by the latter’s mother, and lives in Bhulbhulaiya slums in Mumbai. They start with petty crime and drugs, then join a gangster Boss’ gang, and rob a jewelry store. With Vijay’s mother ill, they need money and decide to keep the jewelry, but Boss prevents them, and they shoot him with his own gun. Subsequently, they are arrested for a variety of breaches of the Indian Penal Code, including homicide; tried in Court, and sentenced to a juvenile home. Once there, they earn money selling cocaine and get into the bad books of older men as well as the Warden and are beaten severely. They recuperate and kill one of the men which results in an inquiry and the abrupt departure of the warden. The duo continue selling drugs, save money, are discharged and form their own gang, arming them with guns. Soon the duo make political connections by supplying drugs to the wealthy children of politicians. They assert themselves and virtually overpower other gangs but face opposition from a school-teacher, Ashwani Paranspe. Things start to deteriorate after established gangsters start to feel threatened; Vijay falls in love with lovely Sandhya; and the killing of Vithal, one of their gang-boys. Under these circumstances Vijay comes up with a plan that will ensure their safety – but he is unsure if the rest of the gang and Yakub will go along with this.
