Plot

Parag Dixit (Neil Nitin Mukesh) lives happily with girlfriend Mansi. His life takes a turn when he is falsely implicated in a drugs case. His friend Keshav Rathod (Jignesh Joshi) is responsible for his misfortune. Parag is arrested in Bandra for firing at a police officer and for possession of narcotics. His associate Keshav Rathod is gravely injured and hospitalized in critical condition.

Parag is housed in an overcrowded barrack, having barely any room to move. He is tortured mentally by the jail but eventually adjusts to his new situation. Mansi retains Advocate Harish Bhatia to represent him in a preliminary hearing, but the judge denies him bail. At the jail, Parag meets many people, both convicted and awaiting trial including:

Parag reappears in court after a charge-sheet is filed. Due to offences seriousness and fear of tampering with evidence, he is denied bail. Months later, Keshav dies in hospital. Parag befriends Nawab who is sympathetic towards him. Ghani becomes Baba Bhai's henchman and is released on bail. He learns that his wife has married another man and proceeds to take his own life.

Galib escapes from jail by bribing police. Joe gets bail and celebrates by donating his clothes. An angry Parag beats him up. As punishment, Parag is sent to solitary confinement. He is released after 10 days on the request of Nawab. With the help of Kabir, he is allowed to go to hospital to meet Mansi and his mother. Nawab scolds Parag and tells him to stay away from gangsters as they demand a lot in return. Nawab opens up about how his little brother, under the influence of a gangster, was involved in a murder case, and Nawab had no choice but to kill his brother as well as the gangster.

Two years later, Parag is convicted and sentenced to ten years of imprisonment, of which two years he has served. He therefore has eight years left. Having no faith in himself and the system, Parag contemplates suicide. Parag asks Kabir to ask Baba Bhai to get him out of jail. He agrees to do anything in return. A routine transfer to another jail is happening. With the help of Baba Bhai, Parag is transferred to Nasik Jail.

During the transfer, a corrupt officer places Parag in Kabir's transport. Kabir and his gangster cause an accident and escape but Parag stays back. Nawab is informed of the events by Jailor Arvind Joshi (Chetan Pandit) and is happy for Parag. In Kolhapur Jail, Parag tries to find hope in his life and circumstances. Six months later, Mansi hires a new lawyer (Atul Kulkarni) who proves Parag's innocence. Parag is accquited. Some time later, He and Mansi visit Nawab in jail.
