Plot
The story focuses on the struggles of an educated, unemployed young man fighting against systemic corruption and injustice.
The story centers on Arjun Malvankar, a kind-hearted but volatile youth from a lower-middle-class family in Bombay. Frustrated by his unemployment and the widespread corruption he sees, Arjun's life changes when he stands up to local thugs and beats them up for extorting money.
This act of defiance puts him on a collision course with the city's criminal elements and their powerful political patron, MLA Deendayal Trivedi. Arjun is initially arrested, but an honest police inspector, Ravi Rane, recognizes that Arjun is essentially fighting on the side of justice. Arjun is approached by Geeta, a young journalist who asks him for a favour which he obliges, and after which they both fall in love with each other.
After a retaliatory attack by the goons results in the public murder of one of Arjun's close friends, and no one comes forward to testify out of fear, Arjun is pushed to his limits. Shunned by his family who fear for their safety, he is approached by a rival politician, Shivkumar Chowgule.
Chowgule, appearing to be an upright and honest person, takes Arjun under his wing. He uses Arjun's strength and anti-corruption zeal to systematically dismantle Trivedi's illegal businesses and collect evidence against him, all under the guise of cleaning up the city. Arjun, believing he is working for a noble cause, is very successful.
The film takes a sharp turn when Arjun discovers that Chowgule is just as corrupt as Trivedi. Chowgule was merely using Arjun as a pawn to eliminate his rival and gather blackmail material for his own selfish gains. Disillusioned and betrayed, Arjun is thrown out and his resources are confiscated.
Now fully aware that both politicians are two sides of the same corrupt coin, a frustrated and enraged Arjun decides to take matters into his own hands. In the climax, he single-handedly confronts and beats up both politicians, securing all the evidence of their wrongdoings. Pursued and wounded by Chowgule's goons in a climactic chase, Arjun manages to escape and delivers the incriminating files to Inspector Ravi Rane, leading to the arrest of both Chowgule and Trivedi, and a final, defiant victory against corruption. The film ends with Ravi giving Arjun a thumbs up in hospital.
